Distinguishing character—Perianth white, and Cup or 
Crown white or cream, sometimes tinged with pink or apricot. 
Varieties marked 4A have a cup or crown not less than one- 
Lady Kesteven. 3B. This is, undoubtedly, one of the finest 
Barriis introduced. Words fail to describe this wonderful 
Daffodil adequately. Suffice it to say that the perianth is 
pure white, well formed, and substantial; the cup is of the 
very deepest red ever seen in a Daffodil. Does not seem to 
fade in the sun. A wonderful show variety. $20 each. 
Lady Moore. 3B. Snow-white perianth; yellow cup v\ith 
deep orange edge. Very free flowering, with good stems. 
An effective garden variety and very easily forced. $1.75 
per doz.; $12 per 100. 
Mrs. Barclay. 3B. Large flower with flat, reflexed, broad- 
petaled, overlapping perianth of pale primrose, changing to 
pure white; deeply frilled flat cup of primrose-yellow, with 
dainty orange picotee. Showy, and a great favorite for 
garden or exhibition. $3.25 per doz.; $22.50 per 100. 
Nobility. 3B. Large, flat flower, almost 5 inches across, per¬ 
fectly formed. The overlapping perianth is creamy white 
with open, flat crown, deepening to orange-red. For 
either garden or exhibition. $3 per doz.; $20 per 100. 
Orange King. 3A. A gorgeous flower of unusually long- 
lasting qualities. Perianth light citron, supporting a wide, 
deep, and densely frilled cup of vivid flaming orange, chang¬ 
ing to chrome-yellow at the base. Medium late. $3.50 each. 
Red Beacon. 3B. Ivory-white perianth of good form, and 
primrose cup broadly edged orange-scarlet. Later to flower 
but better than Red Chief. $1.15 per doz.; $8 per 100. 
Rose Marie. 3A. Extremely large flower on strong stem; 
broad-petaled, reflexing white perianth; fluted cup of pale 
primrose, shading to deep primrose at the frill. Beautiful 
and outstanding flower. Medium late. $4 each.

dils. Well-formed flowers of fine substance and fully 3 x /l 
inches across. Pure white perianth and large cup of pale 
primrose, passing to white afterward. An exceedingly 
beautiful variety. $1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Daisy Schaeffer. 4A. One of the best of the remarkable new 
Giant Leedsii type. With flower 4f £ inches across, and cup 
nearly 2 inches, it resembles a Giant Trumpet, but much 
more graceful in form. Perianth is pure white, with cup 
opening primrose and turning to light canary-yellow, deeper 
at the base. Long lemon-yellow stigma and styles add to 
the color harmony of this remarkable flower. $7.50 each. 
Gertie Millar. 4A. Wonderful flower of the new Giant 
Leedsii type with pure white perianth, similar to and as 
large as Van Waveren’s Giant, with a beautifully propor¬ 
tioned pale primrose cup deeply fluted and frilled and of 
translucent texture. A most handsome Daffodil outstanding 
for garden or exhibition. $9 per doz.; $65 per 100. 
Hera. 4B. Broad-petaled, creamy white perianth; star¬ 
shaped and deeply frilled cup of creamy white with a dainty 
edging of light primrose. One of the most chastely beautiful 
of all Daffodils. $1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
M rs. Nette O’Melveny. 4B. Sure, the “little people” must
