DAFFODILS • Division VIII • POETAZ 
Tazeiia HybritJs 
Hybrids from the Polyanthus type. The heads are made up, 
usually, of 5 to 8 flowers, deliciously fragrant. Especially good for 
indoor culture, but also hardy in the garden. 
Abundance (Helios). (II). Creamy yellow; pure yellow cup. Good 
forcer. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
Cheerfulness. (See Division X, this page.)

in January. White with yellow cup. Three to four flowers on a 
stem. (Color illustration, page 24). $1.75 per doz.; $13.00 
per 100. 
Glorious. (I). Tall variety with flower delightfully informal in 
habit. Perianth Poeticus white, with eye orange, edged red. 
Good for semi-shade. Very early and an excellent forcer. $1 .25 
each; $1 3.50 per doz. 
Golden Perfection. (I) . A perfect perianth with wide, overlapping 
segments, deep citron-yellow with mica sheen, and cup of pure 
gold, perfectly proportioned to remainder of flower; calyx gray- 
green, flecked with gold. A Giant Poetaz unique in its class. 
$3.00 each. 
Oronge Cup. (II). Creamy white; conspicuous orange cup—a 
most delightful color-combination. There are six to eight florets 
per stem and usually two stems per bulb. $1.50 per doz.; 
$ 1 0.00 per 1 00. 
DIVISION IX . Poeticus {Poet s Narcissus) 
Old-fashioned, favorite type. All have snowy white flowers, with 
yellow or lemon-yellow cups, margined more or less deeply with 
red, and having a rich spicy odor. They do well in the open border 
or naturalized in grass, and are perfectly hardy. 
Actaea. (II). The largest Poeticus Daffodil. The pure white, broad 
and overlapping petals form a perianth over 4 inches in diameter. 
The eye is large and brightly colored. $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 
per 100. 
Edwina. (I), Purest white perianth; broad, overlapping petals; 
very flat cup, yellow-edged red. Fine form and substance. Highly 
recommended. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Horace. (III). Pure white perianth; conspicuous red eye. Free 
flowering and strong-stemmed. Splendid for forcing. (Color 
illustration, page 30.) $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Ornotus maximus. (II). More symmetrical than the old Poeticus, 
and blooms much earlier. Flowers large, pure white; cup mar¬ 
gined with scarlet. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 
1000 . 
Recurvus (The Old Pheosant's-Eye). (III). White perianth; cup 
deep orange-red. One of the latest Daffodils, often blooming 
with the May-flowering Tulips. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; 
$65.00 per 1000. 
DIVISION X • Double Daffodils 
The double varieties are particularly well adapted for winter 
forcing and keep a long time as cut flowers. Grown in the open, 
they are suited for planting in solid beds, or may be naturalized 
either in the lawn, meadow, or woodland. A clump here and there 
makes an attractive showing.

Mary Copeland. (III). One of the finest. The long petals are 
pure creamy white, with a golden ray down the center, inter¬ 
spersed with shorter petals of lemon and brilliant orange, giving 
a three-color effect. Unsurpassed for the garden or the show 
bench. $1.25 each; $13.50 per doz. 
Argent. (II). Beautiful, semi-double, star-shaped flower with 
white petals and yellow and white center. Very hardy and free 
flowering. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
Cheerfulness. (I). Double white Poetaz hybrid. Bears three to 
four large flowers on a strong stem. While the general effect 
of the coloring is white, there is a suggestion of pale yellow at 
the base of the petals which gives character to the flower. (Color 
illustration, page 25.) $1.75 per doz.; $12.50 per 100. 
Daphne. (111). A double form of Poeticus Ornatus. Large, well- 
formed flowers of purest white, and sweet scented. Lovely gar¬ 
den variety and easily forced. Is, undoubtedly, much more de¬ 
pendable than the old Alba Plena Odorata which very often 
failed to bloom except under unusually ideal conditions. $3.50 
per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Snowsprite. (III). Pure white, with a 
lemon-yellow. This is a double 
Leedsi type, and blooms very late, 
on tall stems. Unlike Alba Plena 
Odorata, this variety will flower 
anywhere. Highly recommended. 
$1.75 per doz.; $12.50 per 100. 
Twink. (I). Graceful, semi-double; 
petals alternating soft primrose and 
clear orange. Forces as easily as 
Golden Spur; outdoors is very early 
and free flowering. A fine all- 
around variety. (Color illustration, 
front cover.) $3.00 per doz.; 
$20.00 per 100.
