JOHN EVELYN (INCOMPARABILIS) 
RED CROSS (GIANT INCOMPARABILIS) 
ARISTOCRATIC 
For those who have grown and enjoyed the standard varieties of Daffodils 
and now want something new, we offer the following selected list of novelties. 
These are truly Aristocratic Daffodils of the highest merit. Most of them have 
received Awards of Merit at the English flower shows where blossoms are sub¬ 
jected to the keenest competition. The varieties in this list have all been tried, 
proven and selected for their beauty, vigor, and hardiness. 
Beersheba (2) (White Trumpet) (See illustration) is in every respect pure white. 
It is truly a great flower and far ahead of any other white Daffodil. It has a really 
magnificent perianth; perfectly flat and standing at right angles to the trumpet. 
The segments are long and overlapping, yet beautifully clean cut and pointed * 
forming a great bold clear cut star. When seen growing in company with other 
Daffodils the outstanding purity of its whiteness is most striking, while its beauti¬ 
ful lines and stately carriage give it a serene loveliness that compels unqualified 
homage. It is a very free bloomer, grows with extreme vigor, and is quite early 
while its splendid parchment-like substance enables it to last an amazing time. 
Beersheba is a large flower growing up to 5 inches in diameter with a height of 
21 inches. It has been awarded a medal as the best flower in the London Daffodil 
show of the Royal Horticultural Society as well as other awards. Price $2.00 each. 
Mrs. R. O. Backhouse (3) (Giant Leedsii). This is the famous "Pink Daffodil". Fine 
informal perianth of ivory white and beautifully proportioned slim long trumpet 
of apricot-pink, changing to shell pink at the deeply fringed edge. On opening 
the trumpet has the appearance of pale yellow, but as the flower unfolds the 
color changes to delicate pink which becomes more pronounced as the flower 
ages. Height 20 inches. Each $2.00. 
Red Cross (4) (Giant Incomparabilis) (See illustration). This splendid flower is very 
large and of perfect form. The soft yellow perianth is very flat and overlapping. 
The large expanded crown is of deep orange shading down to golden orange at 
the center. Substantial, long lasting and a splendid exhibition and garden variety. 
Red Cross is after the style of Fortune. Fortune being earlier with the color of its 
crown much deeper and more intense. First Class Certificate, Haarlem. 45c each, 
$4.50 dozen. 
Mitylene (3-4) (Giant Leedsii). A grand and most striking show flower quite distinct 
from other Leedsii, and a really magnificent garden plant; tall, vigorous, free of 
bloom and increase. Very large, having broad, rounded, much overlapping pure 
white perianth of great substance and beautiful quality, and a large, wide and 
shallow smooth saucer-shaped crown of cardboard-like substance and palest 
primrose color fading to almost cream. Mitylene has received many awards at 
English Daffodil shows. 75c each, $8.00 dozen. 
John Evelyn (2) (Incomparabilis) 
(See illustration). One of the fin¬ 
est Daffodils of the present day 
and a perfect show flower of ex¬ 
ceptionally fine substance. The 
very large, much overlapping 
perianth of creamy white 
stretches 4 to 5 inches across, 
with a very wide flat cup of 
lemon yellow nearly 2 inches 
in diameter, densely and beau¬ 
tifully frilled. The individuality 
of lohn Evelyn is found in this 
unusual and most attractive 
cup. Award of Merit, R. H. S. 
20c each, $2.30 doz.

fully formed even flat overlapping perianth of fine substance, 4 in. across, stand¬ 
ing at right angles to the large crown, of perfect shape and finish, nicely ruffled 
at the brim. A most aristocratic 
and altogether lovely flower.
