Double Narcissi 
Division 10. Full double flowers of white, 
cream and yellow in a variety of attractive forms. 
Albus Plenus Odoratus. (Double white Poeti- 
cus). Snowy-white sweet scented, gardenia-like 
flowers much prized for cutting. Likes deep cool 
soil, not too dry. The latest narcissus. 12 for 75c, 
100 for $5.00. 
Cheerfulness. The double Elvira. Beautiful 
flower with broad white outer petals and creamy 
yellow center. 3 for 45c, 12 for $1.50. 
Mary Copeland. One of the most famous of the 
new semi-double type. The longer petals are pure 
creamy-white, interspersed with shorter petals of 
lemon and brilliant orange, giving a 3-color effect. 
Each $1.00. 
Sulfur Phoenix (Codlins and Cream). Beauti¬ 
ful sulfur-white flower. A large informal type of 
flower on a long flexible stem. 12 for 75c, 100 for 
$5.00. 
Double Narcissiis—The Pearl 
The Pearl. Each year we find that this lovely 
creamy white narcissus becomes more popular. 
The flowers are very gracefully formed—not too 
double—and are borne in profusion. The stems 
are strong but not too stiff. Blooms well in many 
warm climates where Albus Plenus Odoratus 
comes blind. 12 for 80c, 100 for $5.00. 
Snovvsprite. A double Leedsii. Pure white in¬ 
terspersed with very light lemon. Tall stems. Very 
late. 12 for $1.50. 
Twink. One of the fine new varieties that are 
rapidly replacing the old sorts. Large flowers of 
the semi-full type with alternate petals of soft 
primrose and clear oi^ange. Early and long last¬ 
ing. Strong tall stems. Each 20c, 12 for $2.00. 
Hints On Growing Daffodils 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us 
for giving them the proper care by producing more 
and better flowers. Start with good bulbs; this 
almost guarantees flowers for the first year. See 
that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phos¬ 
phates and potash. Early planting is advisable. 
September is the best month for most parts of 
the country. Cover the tops of the bulbs about 4 
inches, and in cold climates mulch well after the 
ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the 
bulbs too many years without resetting them. 
They become crowded and fail to bloom. About 
every third year, dig the bulbs when the tops have 
ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in 
the fall. Never move the bulbs before or during 
blooming time as it will injure their growth very 
severely. 
Poetaz Narcissus Elvira 
Poetaz Narcissi 
Division 8. Hardy bunch-flowering hybrids of 
Poeticus Ornatus and Polyanthus Narcissi such 
as Soleil d’ Or. Tall vigorous growers, bearing 
heads of large, well-formed fragrant flowers. Ex¬ 
cellent garden flowers and very early forcers. 
Abundance (Helios). Creamy yellow perianth 
with darker yellow cup. Five to seven flowers on 
stiff, strong stem. Very free flowering. 12 for 80c, 
100 for $6.00. 
Admiration. Beautiful large clusters of about 
six flowers. The perianth is a soft sulphury-yel¬ 
low, the cup rich orange-scarlet. Highly recom¬ 
mended. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.75. 
Cheerfulness. See double narcissi. 
Elvira. Three or four large flowers with white 
petals and yellow cup, edged orange. The flowers 
are held erect on a strong tall stem with good 
foliage, making it a very effective variety for 
garden decoration. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
Glorious. A very fine outstanding flower. Each 
tall stem bears two or three very large flowers 
with broad poeticus type perianth and orange- 
scarlet eye. Particularly recommended for partial 
shade. Each $1.00. 
Orange Cup. Nice clusters of six to eight flor¬ 
ets. The perianth is soft yellow, the beautifully 
frilled cup is bright orange-red. Lasts better in 
partial shade. 12 for $1.00. 
Mixed Poetaz Narcissi. An excellent mixture 
containing all the different colors. 12 for 70c, 100 
for $5.00. 
Tazetta or Polyanthus 
Narcissi 
Division 8. Bunch flowering narcissi used so 
extensively for forcing in water and fibre. 
Chinese Sacred Lily. Large clusters of white 
flowers with yellow cups. Each bulb produces sev¬ 
eral spikes of the fragrant flowers. Very easily 
grown in bowls of pebbles, or fibre, and water. 
Each 10c, 12 for $1.00. 
Grand Soleil D’Or. This variety has been ex¬ 
tensively used for forcing but its usefulness out of 
doors has been too often overlooked. It is as 
hardy as many of the daffodils. Large clusters of 
dark yellow flowers with bright orange cups. Tall 
growing and vigorous. Healthy home grown bulbs. 
12 for $1.00. 
Paper White Narcissus. The most popular 
bulb for forcing in water. Large clusters of pure 
white, fragrant flowers. We consider the Chinese 
Sacred Lilies more satisfactory. 12 for 75c, 100 
for $5.00. 
Unless otherwise specified, all narcissus bulbs 
are the large double nose grade. These will produce 
two or more flower spikes the first season.
