Giant Incomparabilis and Giant Leedsii —Continued

tinct from other Leedsii, and a really magnificent garden plant; tall, vigorous, 
free of bloom and increase. Very large, having broad, rounded, much overlap¬ 
ping pure white perianth of great substance and beautiful quality, and a large, 
wide and shallow smooth saucer-shaped crown of cardboard-like substance and 
palest primrose color fading to almost cream. Mitylene has received many 
awards at English Daffodil shows. 75c each, 3 bulbs $2.15, $8.00 doz. 
Mrs. R. O. Backhouse (3) (Giant Leedsii) (See illustration, page 6). This is the 
famous "Pink Daffodil". Fine informal perianth of ivory white and beautifully 
proportioned slim long trumpet of apricot-pink, changing to shell pink at the 
deeply fringed edge. On opening the trumpet has the appearance of pale yellow, 
but as the flower unfolds the color changes to delicate pink which becomes more 
pronounced as the flower ages. Height 20 in. Each $2.00, 3 bulbs $5.00. 
Red Cross (4) (Giant Incomparabilis) (See illustration). This splendid flower is 
very large and of perfect form. The soft yellow perianth is very flat and over¬ 
lapping. The large expanded crown is of deep orange shading down to golden 
orange at the center. Substantial, long lasting and a splendid exhibition and 
garden variety. Red Cross is after the style of Fortune. Fortune being earlier with 
the color of its crown much deeper and more intense. First Class Certificate,

Silver Star (Giant Leedsii) (See illustration). Of outstanding beauty, and worthy 
to be in every garden. Perfect broad-petaled star-shaped perianth of pure cream- 
white, with finely proportioned, wide mouth trumpet of primrose, changing to 
cream-white, just a shade deeper than perianth. 15c each, 3 bulbs 40c, $1.50 doz.

fully frilled at margin. A fine variety for bowls. Height 20 in. 20c each, 3 bulbs
