BULB SUGGESTIONS 
I do not raise large daffodils, but can get you an excellent mixture for 
naturalizing for $5 a hundred, from a reliable grower. Please order these -or 
Little Daffodils by October 1, as we replant then. 
Little Daffodils: Narcissus bulbocodium citrinus, 15c; N. bulb, conspicuus, 
10c; N. bulb, monophyllus, 20c; N. minor, 50c; M. nanus, 35c; N- triandrus 
albus,, 25c; Pseudo-narcissus moschatus, (not more than 3 to a customer), 
40c each; N. Canalicul atus, 25c; N. juncifolius, 30c; N. jonquilla simplex, 10c. 
Taking off the Latin masks, bulbocodiums are the hoop petticoat daffodils, 
minor and nanus are small editions of big trumpet daffodils, triandrus the 
Angel’s Tears daffodil, moschatus a white sunbonnet baby, canaliculatus like 
a tiny Chinese lily. 
Autumn planting is best for lilies. 
Answering a customer’s query: Jonquils are narcissi with round leaves 
like rushes, not flat like daffodils, and shallow cups, not trumpet flowers. 
Jonquilla and juncifolius are of this type.

I often visit with delight a garden where lilies, familiar and rare, grow 
under ideal conditions. Visit it yourself by sending for the catalogue. It gives 
good descriptions and cultural advice, and the collections listed are alluring; 
an All-Season, a Native American, and a fine Rock Garden, one that tempts 
me with 4 each of 3 varieties, $2.50. Write Edgar L- Kline, Kilkare, Rt. 1, 
Oswego, Oregon.
