Bulb Novelties 
]• rom the immense list of new varieties of bulbs offered in Holland and England, we have selected the following as being sufficiently 
tested to establish their merit. Many new varieties of Narcissi are offered in England at prices ranging from ten to two hundred and 
fifty dollars each. We do not believe there is any demand for such high-priced bulbs outside of England. The varieties offered below 
arc sufficiently high-priced, and if you do not wish to pay such prices you are consoled by the fact they will get much cheaper in the 
future and that such splendid things as Empress and Emperor Narcissi were once high-priced Novelties.
