DAFFODIL BLEND — Now fii’st of all let’s ffet names 
straightened out. Some people seem to use "Narcissus” to 
mean one thing, and “Daffodil” to mean quite another. 
Really the two terms are complete synonyms. Narcissus 
is the generic botanical name for the entire group, while 
"Daffodil” is the old English or common folk-name for 
precisely the same thing. Whichever you prefer to call 
them, we offer a mighty fine mixture of hardy kinds here. 
There are great golden trumpets, primrose tintings, chalice, 
medium-cup and star sorts, with the snowy, orange-cen¬ 
tered and flame-touched Narcissi of the poets. All types 
together in good balance and blend, offered at a price that 
will allow most liberal plantings. Here are blooms for a 
thousand bouquets, blossoms to fill a woodland margin, a 
pasture field, an old orchard, with wave on wave of spring¬ 
time. We grew most of these at our nursery, but we have 
already mixed together all the blooming-size stock, so 
don’t ask us to pick out separate kinds. Remember, too, 
that one kind will make naturally a small bulb, another 
naturally a large bulb. Variations in bulb-sizes, then, are 
simply assurances of good blending. 10 for 50c; 25 for 
$1.00 ; 100 for $3.75. (Postage extra, of course, as with all 
bulbs and plants. See note, top page six.) 
CAMASSIA LEICHTLINl—The flowers are spreading 
stars, perfectly formed, sometimes an inch and a half 
across, and each tall, airy, loosely formed spike carries 
many of them widely open at one time. The spikes are 
often four feet tall, and may bear one hundred blossoms. 
The bulbs seem to be fully hardy anywhere in the coun¬ 
try, and the season of bloom is long, all through late 
sprifng. I offer mixed colors only, including white, rich 
cream, delicate lavender, indigo and blue-violet. Camassias 
cannot be recommended too highly for every garden, and 
this is possibly the finest of them. 3 for 25c; 12 for $1.00 ; 
25 for $2.00. 
IRIS DUTCH AND SPANISH—Named sorts, grown sepa¬ 
rately. in many rare colorings, are in this mixture, all 
true Bulb Irises, varieties and hybrids of Iris xiphium. 
The blossoms are very like orchids, at least in reminder, 
and particularly long-lasting as cut flowers. They have 
been called Poor Man’s Orchid, but rich men are glad 
enough to grow them, too, for they are exceedingly beau¬ 
tiful. There will be russet and smoky bronze combinations; 
pale blue indigo, rich yellow, white, softly tinted. Hardy 
and easy. We supply bulbs of good blooming size that 
will give splendid effects in outdoor plantings, flowering 
freely and long the first spring. Don’t use them for indoor 
winter forcing, though. For that you would need bigger 
stock. 15 for 50c; 31 for $1.00; 100 for $3.00. 
ZYGADENUS FREMONTI—Open panicles of pretty blos¬ 
som-stars, all of a rich creaminess, each center with a 
super-imposed star of a deeper yellow. Grows to 18 inches 
and blooms in April and May. Particularly good in damp 
places, and about pool margins, though hardy and adapt¬ 
able enough in any garden situation. 3 for 25c; 10 for 
75c. 
MUSCARI NEGLECTUM—Excellent species with sweetly 
scented flowers of dark plum-violet in dense spikes. Of 
fullest hardiness. 4 for 25c; 18 for $1.00. 
WHITE GRAPE HYACINTH—The old-fashioned white 
Muscari, with a multitude of snowy spikes in early spring. 
A pretty thing. 10 for 35c; 25 for 75c. 
MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE—It will give great splashes 
of sky-rivaling blue for many radiant spring weeks. Use¬ 
ful for varied purposes and in varied places, rock garden, 
border, beds, clumps at edges of shrubbery or against 
foundations. It gives effects of startling beauty when 
widely naturalized in meadows, open woodlands, or about 
lawn edges. It may even be forced for winter bloom, ten 
bulbs together in a good-sized pot. 10 for 30c; 25 for 65c; 
100 for $2.25. 
HARDY STAR OF BETHLEHEM—Enormous quantities of 
pure white, upfacing star-flowers. Decidedly pretty, and 
may be used in every way that we have suggested for 
Muscari Heavenly Blue, and very effectively mixed right 
with it. We have seen interesting use made of it for 
naturalizing along roadsides. Botanically it is Ornithogalum 
umbellatum. 10 for 35c; 25 for 80c ; 100 for $2.75. 
DOLLAR DELIGHT COLLECTION—Four Calochortus El 
Dorado, three Cherry Sunbright, four Calliprora, three 
Plume Hyacinth and seven Cloth of Gold Crocus; 21 bulbs, 
five labeled kinds, $1.25 value, for only ONE DOLLAR in 
the collection. No changes. 
THE COLLECTION HUNDRED—One hundred bulbs, be¬ 
ing 25 each of Daffodil Blend, Muscari Heavenly Blue, 
Hardy Star of Bethlehem, and Iris Dutch and Spanish, for 
only $2.95 in the collection. No changes. See note top 
page six about postage.
