DAFFODILS (Narcissi) 
W ITH no other garden flower, perhaps, has such rapid 
progress been made in the development of new varie¬ 
ties. During the past twenty years or so hybridists have im¬ 
proved the Daffodil to a marvelous extent. In all types there 
are larger and more perfectly formed varieties but especially 
in the red-cupped types is the change most decided. Many 
of these are startling in their beauty, and cups have been 
developed to the most intense shades of orange and scarlet. 
No garden should be without a good share of the newer 
Daffodils. 
The following list includes a fine range, giving a choice of 
the best varieties in each type. The official classification is 
followed and we urge all gardeners to acquaint themselves 
with the differences in the classes. 
DIVISION I. TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Distinguishing character—Trumpet or Crown as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments. 
All-Yellow Varieties 
Class A. Varieties with yellow or lemon-yellow trumpets, and perianth of same shade or lighter, but not white. 
Aerolite. Huge golden yellow flower, beautifully propor¬ 
tioned. The flat perianth is very broad and star-shaped; 
trumpet long and graceful. Long lasting either in garden 
or cut. Highly recommended. $2.25 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
Alasnum. Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet of pure deep 
yellow, a shade deeper than the perianth. Finely placed, 
with good neck, the flower “looks you in the eye.” Excellent 
for landscape groups. Very early. $5 per doz.; $35 per 100. 
Citronella. The color of this variety is best described as 
citron-yellow, showing a few greenish lines. Flower is very 
large and the trumpet wide and flaring. Entirely different 
from the usual yellow Daffodil. $9 per doz.; $65 per 100. 
Cleopatra. A fine flower which is well known everywhere. 
Very broad, lemon-yellow, imbricated perianth, with over¬ 
lapping petals; long, bold, deep golden trumpet. Very late. 
$2 per doz.; $13.50 per 100. 
Concordia. A huge deep golden yellow flower with widely 
expanded and frilled trumpet. Far superior to most 
trumpet varieties and a fine exhibition flower. $6.50 per 
doz.; $45 per 100. 
Dawson City. One of the most refined of the yellow trumpets 
of merit as a splendid garden variety as well as for exhibition 
table. Broad, flat, overlapping perianth of smooth sub¬ 
stance with well-formed, flanged trumpet of the purest 
golden yellow. $3.50 per doz.; $25 per 100. 
Diotima. Despite its huge size (perianth being 5 to 6 inches 
across), the whole flower is beautifully proportioned and is 
carried gracefully on flattened, tapering stems, 2 feet tall, 
entirely free from the amaryllis-like stiffness of many of 
the giant trumpets. The broad, overlapping petals form a 
star-shaped perianth of medium deep primrose; trumpet 
somewhat more deeply colored. Undoubtedly one of the 
best for many years to come. $3 each. 
Emperor. Perianth deep primrose-yellow; trumpet rich 
yellow. A very large flower. Excellent for naturalizing or 
forcing. One of the oldest and most satisfactory Daffodils 
grown. Doz. too
