CISS 
(DAFFODILS) 
CORRECT DAFFODIL NOMENCLATURE 
Many of our gardening friends are under the impression that all yellow varieties are known as Daffodils or Jonquils and 
the white varieties as “Narcissus.” They are all correctly expressed hy the botanical term of “Narcissus’ or the English 
common name of “Daffodil.” However, the term of “Jonquil” applied to any but the true Jonquil type, listed under 
Division VII, is a misnomer. 
DIVISION I-TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet (or crown) as long as, or longer 
than, the perianth segments (petals) 
(Divided into Three Classes) 
CLASS A. ALL YELLOW 
AEROLITE. A golden daffodil that will replace many 
older varieties. The large flower is beautifully proportioned 
with a deep primrose perianth and a pure medium-yellow 
trumpet. A long lasting daffodil either in the garden or 
after being cut. Highly recommended for naturalizing. 
$1.65 for 10; $14 per 100. See illustration page 15. 
DAWSON CITY. One of the most refined of the yellow 
Trumpets. A splendid garden variety as well as suitable for 
the exhibition table. Broad, flat, overlapping perianth of 
smooth substance with well-formed trumpet of purest 
golden-yellow. $4.50 for 10; $42.50 per 100. 
DIOTIMA. Considered one of the finest of the new 
super-giant yellow Trumpets. The perianth measures five 
to six inches across. Despite its great size, the whole 
flower is beautifully proportioned and is carried gracefully 
on flattened tapering stems, two 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 deep primrose, the trumpet is of a somewhat 
deeper color. Each, $2; $ I 7.50 for 10. 
EMPEROR. An old variety, though still deserving a place 
in every garden. Rich, full yellow trumpet with a deep 
primrose perianth. Splendid for permanent mass planting 
and naturalizing. $ 1.25 for 10; $ 10 per 100. 
KING ALFRED. Remarkably handsome daffodil. Large, 
bold, golden-yellow flower, deeply frilled at mouth; of last¬ 
ing quality both in the garden and when cut. One of the 
best. Eleavy, doublenosed bulbs, $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 
100. Extra heavy, doublenosed bulbs, $1.75 for 10; $15 
per 100. Special stock, only limited quantity available, 
$2.25 for 10; $20 per 100. 
LORD WELLINGTON. One of the best of the yellow 
Trumpet daffodils. Enormous flowers of rich golden-yellow 
with broad petals and large trumpet; carried on a tall, 
strong stem. Beautifully proportioned and graceful despite 
its size. $5 for 10; $47.50 per 100. See illustration, 
page 11. 
MINIMUS (t rue). The tiniest and earliest of all daffo¬ 
dils. The dainty little Trumpet flowers are of a rich full 
yellow. Height, 3 inches. It enjoys peaty soil and may 
be naturalized in rockeries, or in short grass. Very scarce. 
$3.85 for 10; $36 per 100.

fodil of superb, yet graceful proportions. Massive, over¬ 
lapping, deep golden-yellow perianth, large, flaring, well- 
formed trumpet. A most suitable exhibition variety. Each, 
$2.00; $17.50 for 10. See illustration, page 7. 
TRESSERVE. An older variety, though still considered a 
leader among the giant Trumpets. Extra-large flowers of 
deep canary-yellow with a paler perianth and Iaciniations 
at mouth of trumpet. A flower of distinct individuality. 
Extra-heavy bulbs, $1.25 for 10; $10 per 100. Special 
stock, only limited quantity available, $1.45 for 10; $12 
per 100. 
CLASS B. ALL WHITE OR ALMOST WHITE 
BEERSHEBA. Possibly the most popular of the white 
Trumpet varieties. Perianth and trumpet of magnificent 
proportions with sturdy foliage and stem. Its color is not 
pure white, yet is expressive of purity in the highest sense. 
Deserves to be included in every exhibition collection. 
Each, $3; $27.50 for 10 . See illustration, page 11.
