cMo.5 
Every one an exhibition flower. A 
suitable collection for the more advanc¬ 
ed Daffodil fancier. 
Diotima. (Yellow Trumpet.) Considered one of the finest 
of the new yellow trumpets. The perianth measures from 
five to six inches across. Beautifully proportioned flower 
of deep primrose perianth with a deeper colored trumpet. 
Each, $2.00. 
Mrs. R. 0. Backhouse. (White Trumpet.) The famous 
"pink" Daffodil. Very fine flaring perianth of ivory-white 
with beautifully proportioned, slim, long trumpet of clear 
pale apricot, deeper at edges, finely frilled. One of the 
choicest. Each, $2.50. 
Beersheba. (White Trumpet.) One of the best of the 
white Trumpet Daffodils. Perianth and trumpet of mag¬ 
nificent proportions. Although its color is not a pure 
white, it is expressive of purity in the highest sense. 
Each, $3.00. 
Madame Van Waveren. (Bicolor Trumpet.) The largest 
and finest of the new bicolor trumpets. Flowers of large 
dimension, but refined. Broad overlapping perianth of 
purest white with a deep yellow trumpet. Each, $1.75. 
Carlton. A most beautiful giant Incomparabilis. Broad, 
overlapping, flat perianth with a large expanded cup. The 
whole flower is of soft uniform yellow. Very free-flowering, 
and a strong and sturdy grower. Each, $1.50. 
Dick Wellband. (Incomparabilis.) One of the finest of 
recent introductions. Very strong grower and exceptionally 
free-flowering. The perianth is pure white and the cup a 
brilliant flame-orange. One of its most remarkable quali¬ 
ties is that the color does not fade but rather intensifies 
with age. The flower has unusual lasting qualities. Its 
greatest beauty lies in the startling contrast between 
petals and cup, which makes it stand out in the largest 
collections of Daffodils. An exhibition variety "par excel¬ 
lence". Each, $2.50. 
Sheherazade. (Incomparabilis.) A giant among the new 
Incomparabilis. Very tall with citron-colored perianth of

standing. Large perianth of bright primrose and pure yel¬ 
low, wide-open trumpet, with a tint of orange in the

perianth of pure Poeticus-white, and of exceptional tex¬ 
ture; medium sized cup of lemon-yellow with golden 
orange margin. Tall and vigorous grower. Each, $4.00.

Leedsi. Large flower 41/2 inches across with a trumpet 
formed cup of nearly two inches, it resembles a giant 
Trumpet, but much more graceful in form. The perfectly 
overlapping perianth of pure white, with cup opening 
primrose and turning to light canary-yellow. A truly re¬ 
markable flower of great lasting quality. Each, $5.00. 
Tunis. (Leedsi.) A most beautiful, striking flower. Broad 
white, overlapping perianth and broad, wide-open, large 
cup of softest primrose becoming with age overlaid at the 
edges with a rare sheen of greenish gold. Outstanding 
exhibition variety and exceptionally fine for semi-shady 
situations in the garden. Each, $3.75. 
General Pershing. (Jonquil Hybrid.) A new type of Jon¬ 
quil Hybrid, large as some of the moderately sized yellow 
trumpets; foliage is flat but very long and narrow, much 
more graceful than the trumpet type. The flower is very 
refined and of purest Jonquil-yellow, with the trumpet 
just a shade deeper than the perianth. Each, $3.00. 
Glorious. (Poetaz.) Tall, strong growing variety, informal 
in habit, perianth Poeticus-white with orange eye, edged
