Dick Wellband. $2.00 each. 
The perianth is pure white and the -cup a brilliant flame-orange. 
One of its most remarkable qualities is that the color does not 
fade but rather intensifies with age. The flower has unusual last¬ 
ing qualities. Its greatest beauty lies in the startling contrast be¬ 
tween petals and cup which makes it stand out even in the largest 
collection of Daffodils. An exhibition variety “par excellence.”

duction. It is a Giant Incomparabilis of the largest size, perfect 
form, and gorgeous color on a 2-foot stem; fine flat overlapping 
perianth of great substance which stands boldly at right angles 
to the crown, of clear deep lemon-gold color with long bold 
crown of wonderful glowing coppery red-orange. It is of great 
substance, vigorous and very lasting—free bloomer.

on the outside; the cup, wide and deep, is golden yellow at the 
base, changing gradually to flame-orange at the densely frilled 
edge; the flowers are held well above the fine foliage and give the
