DAFFODILS 
\ A/ ITH no other garden flower, perhaps, 
* * has such rapid progress been made in 
the development of new varieties. During 
the past twenty years or so hybridists have 
improved the Daffodil to a marvelous ex¬ 
tent. In all types there are larger and more 
perfectly formed varieties but especially in 
the red-cupped types is the change most de¬ 
cided. Many of these are startling in their 
beauty, and cups have been developed to the 
most intense shades of orange and scarlet. 
No garden should be without a good share 
of the newer Daffodils. 
The following list includes a fine range, 
giving a choice of the best varieties in each 
type. The official classification is followed 
and we urge all gardeners to acquaint them¬ 
selves with the differences in the classes. 
The flowering time of each variety is indicated in 
roman numerals after the name as follows: I (early), 
II (midseason). III (late). 
DIVISION I ■ Trumpet Daffodils 
Distinguishing character—Trumpet or Crown as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments. 
ALL-YELLOW VARIETIES 
Class A: Varieties with yellow or lemon-yellow trumpets, and perianth of same shade or lighter, but not white. 
Aerolite. (I). Huge golden yellow flower, beauti¬ 
fully proportioned. The flat perianth is very 
broad and star-shaped; trumpet long and grace¬ 
ful. Long lasting either in garden or cut. Highly 
recommended. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Alasnum. (I). Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet of 
pure deep yellow, a shade deeper than the perianth. 
Finely placed, with good neck, the flower "looks you in 
the eye." Excellent for landscape groups. Very early. 
$5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 
Dawson City. (III). One of the most refined of the yellow 
trumpets of merit as a splendid garden variety or for 
exhibition table. Broad, flat, overlapping perianth of 
smooth substance with well-formed, flanged trumpet of 
the purest golden yellow. $5.50 per doz.; $37.50 per 
100 . 
Diotima. (I). Despite its huge size (perianth being 5 to 6 inches 
across), the whole flower is beautifully proportioned and is car¬ 
ried gracefully on flattened, tapering stems, 2 feet tall, entirely 
free from the Amaryllis-like stiffness of many of the giant trum¬ 
pets. The broad, overlapping petals form a star-shaped perianth 
of medium deep primrose; trumpet somewhat more deeply col¬ 
ored. Undoubtedly one of the best for many years to come. 
$1.75 each; $18.50 per doz. 
Emperor. (III). Perianth deep primrose-yellow; trumpet rich yel¬ 
low. A very large flower. Excellent for naturalizing or forcing. 
One of the oldest and most satisfactory Daffodils grown. 
Doz. 100 
Large bulbs.$0.85 $ 6.00 
Mammoth bulbs. 1.15 8.00 
Selected jumbo bulbs. 1.50 10.00 
Golden Chief. (III). A huge, perfectly formed flower of pure 
golden yellow. The perianth is 5 inches across, the petals broad, 
flat, and overlapping; trumpet in fine proportion with beautifully 
frilled and recurved brim. A superior flower and ideal for ex¬ 
hibition. $1.75 each; $18.50 per doz. 
Golden Spur. (I). A very good variety, both perianth and trum¬ 
pet being of a rich yellow color. Of robust habit and unsurpassed 
for garden, pots, or forcing. Doz. 100 
Large bulbs.$0.85 $ 6.00 
Mammoth bulbs. 1.15 8.00 
Selected jumbo bulbs. 1.50 10.00 
Hebron. (II). A huge trumpet Daffodil of fine form. The perianth 
is broad and flat and long trumpet is beautifully recurved at 
rim. Color a deep golden yellow throughout. Specimen winner 
at Virginia Daffodil Show this year. Unquestionably one of the 
best exhibition varieties. $4.50 each. 
King Alfred. (II). Strong grower, with magnificent frilled trumpet 
and large perianth, all of a uniform rich golden yellow. Although 
a comparatively old variety it is still one of the best. Unexcelled 
for forcing and fine in the garden. (Color illustration, page 24) . 
Doz. 100 
Extra heavy bulbs .$1.25 $ 9.00 
Mammoth bulbs. 1.75 12.00 
Selected jumbo bulbs. 2.50 17.50 
Liberty. (I). Fine, large, golden yellow perianth, with wavy petals 
and long, deep golden trumpet. Of enormous size, larger than 
King Alfred, and forces as early. Very early in garden. $1.75 
per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Lord Wellington. (II). One of the best of yellow trumpet Daffo¬ 
dils. The enormous flower is of rich golden yellow, with broad 
petals, large trumpet, and carried on a tall, strong stem. Though 
the flower is very large, it is, on account of its perfect form, re¬ 
fined in appearance. $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 
Muriel Evans. (II). An early, clear yellow Daffodil remarkable for 
its wonderful trumpet, which is deep, wide and flaring with the 
brim elegantly rolled back and frilled. The whole flower pre¬ 
sents a striking appearance. $6.50 per doz.; $45.00 per 100. 
Olympia. (III). This remarkably fine Daffodil might briefly be 
described as an improved Emperor, being much larger and of a 
richer, deeper color. $1.75 per doz. $1 1.50 per 100. 
Robert Sydenham. (I). Sulphur-yellow, well-formed perianth; 
beautiful, large, yellow, wide-open trumpet, with a fine deeply 
frilled brim. A splendid exhibition variety for forcing after Feb¬ 
ruary 1. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
