Narcissus, Empress, 
Narcissus, Emperor 
This is the largest and finest deep yellow trumpet- 
dowered Daffodil in cultivation, and is really superb, 
both in foliage and (lower. The trumpet Is Immense 
and the overlapping petals measure three to three and 
a half Inches across. It is one of the finest for cutting 
as it has strong stems and foliage which add to its 
beauty. Very desii^ble for bedding and is unequalled 
Tor growing in pots. A few years ago it was 
selling at $25 per hundred, but a contract made in 
Holland this year enables us to offer enormous bulbs, 
which often bring four and five splendid (lowers each, at 
the following prices: $1.00 per 12; $7.75 per 100; 
$70.00 per 1,000. First-size, 80c per 12; $5.75 per 
100; $48 per 1,000. 
Special Offer of Golden Spur Narcissi 
This is one of the most valuable of the Trumpet Nar¬ 
cissi, with magnificent deep yellow trumpet with brim 
expanding like Maximus, and large, spreading, full, deep 
yellow petals. It is free-flowering and splendid both for 
house culture and outdoors, and is one of the most de¬ 
sirable varieties for naturalizing. By contracting for 
(50,000 bulbs of this variety, we are enabled to offer 
them at the following prices, which are less than half 
the prices usually asked: Large, selected bulbs, 75c per 
12; $5.50 per 100; $45 per 1,000. 
Dutch Bulbs 
As a rule, we import bulbs to order only, but many of our cus¬ 
tomers neglect to send us their orders in time, and we are obliged 
to buy the stock In this country to fill these late orders, charge 
higher prices, and deliver inferior stock. We have imported a few 
varieties of the very choicest and most desirable bulbs in excess 
of our orders and offer them at the same prices as if imported to 
order. These fine tilings are described in tills catalogue, but the 
prices quoted will be good only until the stock we have Imported 
is exhausted. We cannot buy these bulbs in America and 
sell them at such low prices. Much of the stock described 
was personally selected this summer (n Europe. We can 
not furnish Snowdrops, Scillas, Spanish, English or Dutch 
Iris, Chionodoxas, Ranunculi, Anemones, etc., because the 
importation of all bulbs except those offered in this cata¬ 
logue is prohibited, although they are all similar and 
grown in the same soil under the same conditions. 
Narcissus, Bicolor Empress 
The Queen of Daffodils 
Very large flowers of pure white, with rich yellow 
trumpet, strikingly beautiful; fine for out of doors or for 
forcing. This is the finest of all Daffodils and one of the 
most beautiful hardy flowers grown. It should be planted 
where it can remain permanently. It will increase in size 
and beauty year after year. It really gives me great 
pleasure to offer this grand Daffodil at the following low 
prices, and it can now be planted by the hundreds and thousands, 
as It deserves to be. A few years ago it was selling in Holland 
at $40 per hundred, when I thought it one of the most beautiful 
hardy flowers in cultivation—an opinion I still hold, after growing 
it in my garden ever since. It is an acquaintance that improves 
with age. The bulbs we offer are from one of the most famous 
growers in Holland, who has made a specialty of this Daffodil since 
Its introduction. Monster bulbs, $1.00 per 12; $7.75 per 100; 
$68 per 1,000. Large, selected bulbs, 80c per 12; $5.75 per 
100; $49 per 1,000.
