HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia, Pa. . Fall, 1936 
DAFFODILS, DIVISION VIII. 
Hybrids from the Polyanthus type. The heads are made 
up, usually, of 5 to 8 flowers, deliciously fragrant. Especially 
good for indoor culture, but also hardy in the garden. 
Abundance (Helios). Creamy yellow; pure yellow cup. 
Good forcer. $1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Cheerfulness. Double white Poetaz hybrid. Bears three to 
four large flowers on a strong stem. While the general effect 
of the coloring is white, there is a suggestion of pale yellow 
at the base of the petals which gives character to the flower. 
$1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Early Perfection. The earliest of all. Can be forced to 
bloom in January. White with yellow cup. Three to four 
flowers on a stem. (Color illustration, page 30.) $1.60 per 
doz.; $11 per 100. 
POETAZ (Tazetta Hybrids) 
Glorious. Tall variety with flower delightfully informal in 
habit. Perianth Poeticus white, with eye orange, edged red. 
Good for semi-shade. Very early and an excellent forcer. 
$1 each; $10 per doz. 
Golden Perfection. A perfect perianth with wide, overlap¬ 
ping segments, deep citron-yellow with mica sheen, and 
cup of pure gold, perfectly propoitioned to remainder of 
flower; calyx gray-green, flecked with gold. A Giant Poetaz 
unique in its class. $3.50 each. 
Medusa. Smooth, pure white perianth and beautiful orange- 
scarlet eye. Very early. $1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Orange Cup. Creamy white; conspicuous orange cup—a 
most delightful color-combination. There are six to eight 
florets per stem and usually two stems per bulb. $1.15 
per doz.; $8 per 100. 
DIVISION IX. POETICUS (Poet s Narcissus) 
Old-fashioned, favorite type. All have snowy white flowers, 
with yellow or lemon-yellow cups, margined more or less 
deeply with red, and having a rich spicy odor. They do well in 
the open border or naturalized in grass, and are perfectly 
hardy. 
Actea. The largest Poeticus Daffodil. The pure white, broad, 
and overlapping petals form a perianth over 4 inches in 
diameter. The eye is large and brightly colored. $1.75 each. 
Edwina. Purest white perianth; broad, overlapping petals; 
very flat cup, yellow-edged red. Fine form and substance. 
Highly recommended. $3.50 per doz.; $25 per 100. 
Horace. Pure white perianth; conspicuous red eye. Free 
flowering and strong-stemmed. Splendid for forcing. $1.15 
per doz.; $8 per 100. 
Ornatus maximus. More symmetrical than the old Poeti¬ 
cus, and blooms much earlier. Flowers large, pure white; 
cup margined with scarlet. $1 per doz.; $7 per 100; $65 
per 1000. 
Recurvus (The Old Pheasant’s-Eye). White perianth; 
cup deep orange-red. One of the latest Daffodils, often 
blooming with the May-flowering tulips. 85 cts. per doz.; 
$6 per 100; $55 per 1000. 
DIVISION X. DOUBLE DAFFODILS 
The double varieties are particularly well adapted for 
winter forcing and keep a long time as cut-flowers. Grown 
in the open, they are suited for planting in solid beds, or may 
be naturalized either in the lawn, meadow, or woodland. A 
clump here and there makes an attractive showing. 
Argent. Beautiful, semi-double, star-shaped flower with 
white petals and yellow and white center. Very hardy and 
free flowering. $1.15 per doz.; $8 per 100. 
Daphne. A double form of Poeticus ornatus. Farge, well- 
formed flowers of purest white, a$d sweet scented. Fovely 
garden variety and easily forced. Is, undoubtedly, much 
more dependable than the old Alba Plena Odorata which 
very often failed to bloom except under unusually ideal 
conditions. $2 each. 
Mary Copeland. One of the finest. The long petals are pure 
creamy white, with a golden ray down the center, inter¬ 
spersed with shorter petals of lemon and brilliant orange, 
giving a three-color effect. Unsurpassed for the garden or 
the show bench. $1.50 each. 
Snowsprite. Pure white, with a few small petals of pale 
lemon-yellow. This is a double Feedsii type, and blooms 
very late, on tall stems. Unlike Alba Plena Odorata, this 
variety will flower anywhere. Highly recommended. $1.75 
per doz.; $12.50 per 100. 
Twink. Graceful, semi-double; petals alternating soft primrose 
and clear orange. Forces as easily as Golden Spur; outdoors 
is very early and free flowering. A fine all-round variety. 
(Color illustration, page 30). $2.50 per doz.; $17 per 100. 
DIVISION XI. VARIOUS 
Miniature Daffodils for the Rock-Garden and Naturalizing 
Most of these are natural species but we have included several varieties which are so small as to be out of place in their 
right class, and are more adapted to this use. 
Bulbocodium Conspicuus. Grows only 6 inches tall, with 
fine, rush-like foliage and golden yellow, funnel-shaped 
flowers about an inch wide. Flowers very early in the spring 
and is ideal for deep, sheltered pockets in the rock-garden. 
$1.50 per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Canaliculatus. A dainty little Polyanthus Narcissus from 
Mentone, suitable for sunny situations in the rock-garden. 
It has narrow, erect, bluish green foliage and bears heads of 
three to four flowers with white perianth and globular 
golden cup, sweetly scented. Height, 6 inches. $1.75 per 
doz.; $12 per 100. 
Cernuus. A delightful little white Daffodil growing 3 to 
4 inches high. The dainty flowers are of real trumpet form, 
with twisted perianth, gracefully drooping. A perfect gem. 
$4.25 per doz.; $30 per 100. 
Cyclamineus. A pure yellow species for damp and shady 
situations, and one of the earliest to open. Perianth reflexed 
like the flower of the cyclamen, with slender trumpet. 
About 5 inches tall. $3.50 per doz.; $25 per 100. 
Jonquilla simplex (Single Sweet-scented Jonquil). Rich 
buttery yellow. Not so large a flower as the others. Fra¬ 
grant and free flowering. $1 per doz.; $7 per 100.
