The past few years have seen tremendous progress in the develop' 
ment of the Daffodil. Magnificent new varieties are now available 
and if you are a lover of Daffodils may we suggest you plant a few 
bulbs of such kinds as Beersheba, Lovenest, Mrs. R. O. Backhouse, 
John Evelyn, or Moonshine. Many of our friends are growing some, 
selling the yearly increase to acquaintances, making a handsome 
profit on their investment as well as having a pleasant and profitable 
hobby. All varieties offered are recommended by the American Daf' 
fodil Society.
