ping perianth of canary-yellow with short, flat cup of light 
orange. A flower of exceptionally fine form on very tall 
stem. Splendid exhibition variety. $1.75 each.

panded and frilled, stained deep orange and apricot. A 
truly superb variety. (Color illustration, page 30.) $1.10

is of a soft uniform yellow. Very free flowering and a strong 
and sturdy grower. Fine for exhibition. $3.50 each. 
Croesus. 2A. Round, imbricated, light primrose perianth of 
great size, like a disc of pale gold; widely expanded, deep 
yellow crown, flushed with orange-red. A distinct and 
showy variety and a big change from common types. Fine 
exhibition flower. $1.75 per doz.; $12 per 100. 
Dick Wellband. 2B. One of the finest of recent introductions. 
Very strong grower and exceptionally free flowering. 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 lasting qualities. Its greatest beauty lies in the 
startling contrast between petals and cup which makes it 
stand out even in the largest collection of Daffodils. An 
exhibition variety par excellence. (Color illustration, page 
30.) $2.50 each. 
Fortune. 2A. Considered to be the perfect Daffodil. A giant 
flower of superb form and gorgeous color on a 2-foot stem.

long, bold, wide-open cup of glowing coppery red-orange. 
It is of great substance, vigorous, and very lasting. Ex¬ 
tremely early and free flowering. $10 each. 
Francisca Drake. 2B. The beauty of this flower is difficult 
to describe. Its pure white perianth petals are of unusual 
substance, an inch and a half wide, tinted gold at the base. 
The deep wide cup is yellow at base, gradually changing to 
a brilliant flame-orange at the densely frilled edge. A strik¬ 
ingly beautiful flower. (Color illustration, page 30.) 90
