Narcissi-Daffodils for Naturalizing 
$15.00 for 1000, f.o.b. Eugene 
We have too many of some varieties of narcissi and we just 
have to cut down on the stocks. These varieties are being 
made into a special mixture. They are all good sorts-—fine for 
nautralizing. The bulbs are all blooming size and will make a 
splendid display the first year and increase in beauty for years. 
This special offer closes October 20th as all unsold at that time 
are replanted. 500 at the same rate, not less sold. 
lonquilla and Jonquil Hybrids 
Division 7. All varieties of narcissus jonquilla parentage. 
BUTTERCUP. One of the graceful hybrids between a single 
jonquil and large trumpet daffodil. Clear buttercup yellow 
with straight trumpet and good flat overlapping perianth. Very 
free flowering, fragrant. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.20. 
ODORUS CAMPERNELLI (Single Campernelle Jonquil). 
Two to four beautiful bright yellow flowers on a tall round 
stem. Delightfully fragrant. Foliage erect and rush-like. 
Makes very attractive clumps for the border. 12 for 75c, 
100 for $5.00. 
ODORUS CA3IPERNELLI PLENUS (The Double Camper¬ 
nelle Jonquil). A splendid variety bearing heads of deep yellow 
double flowers on tall stems. Rich green rush-like foliage. De¬ 
lightfully fragrant. Like the other campernelles it is much 
better when not dug for two or three years. 12 for 75c, 100 for 
$5.00. 
GOLDEN SCEPTRE. Another attractive hybrid of a single 
jonquil and large daffodil. It has the color and fragrance of 
the jonquil with a daffodil-like trumpet. Tall stem and attrac¬ 
tive foliage. Wonderfully free flowering. The first blooms 
come quite early followed by secondary stems that result in 
the flowering period being longer than almost any narcissus in 
our plantings. Sometimes two flowers on the stem. 12 for 80c, 
100 for $6.00. 
JONQUILLA SIMPLEX. The true single jonquil that was 
a favorite in gardens long ago. Now that good healthy stocks 
are available at low prices it is again in great demand. Much 
more slender than the campernelle jonquils and even more 
delightfully fragrant. Clusters of as many as seven deep yellow 
flowers on slender stems about a foot high. 12 for 60c, 
100 for $4.00. 
JONQUILLA FLORE PLENO (Queen Anne’s Double Jon¬ 
quil). A dainty low growing variety having heads of fully 
double flowers like tiny yellow roses. One of the very latest 
narcissi. True jonquil fragrance. 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
ODORUS ORANGE QUEEN. Outstanding for its intense 
golden-orange color. The flowers, two or three on a stem, are 
produced in lavish profusion. A delightful variety, rather low 
growing, for the garden or for cutting. Jonquil fragrance. 
3 for 35c, 12 for $1.25, 100 for $9.25. 
TULLUS HOSTILIUS. Of the jonquil yellow trumpet type. 
Two or three golden, yellow flowers of remarkable substance. 
3 for 35c, 12 for $1.25. 
JONQUIL ODORUS CAMPERNELLI 
Hints on Growing Daffodils 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us for giving 
them the proper care by producing more and better flowers. 
Start with good bulbs; this almost guarantees flowers for the 
first year. See that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phosphates and 
potash. Early planting is advisable. September is the best 
month for most parts of the country Cover the tops of the 
bulbs about 4 inches, and in cold climates mulch well after 
the ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the bulbs too 
many years without resetting them. They become crowded and 
fail to bloom. About every third year, dig the bulbs when the 
tops have ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in the 
fall. Never move the bulbs before or during blooming time as 
it will injure their growth very severely.
