NAMES AND SIZES EXPLAINED 
DAFFODILS AND NARCISSI 
These are called either by their common name Daffodils or their botanical name 
Narcissi. A very common usage is to call the larger type Daffodils and the smaller 
ones, especially the ones with several blooms, Narcissi. The term Jonquil is 
usually limited to the small sweet-scented yellow type. These are also called 
Campernels. 
THE SIZES OF DAFFODILS 
The usual designations of Daffodils for size are Double-nosed for the larger 
ones with two bloom stems and Single-nosed or Round for the second largest 
size with only one bloom stem. Our Single-nosed or Round bulbs have that 
heaviness so essential for quality bloom next spring. Therefore, we can very 
truly call them "Heavy Rounds." 
THE SIZES OF TULIPS 
The standard commercial term for the largest size of Tulips is "Top Size." The 
commercial term for tulips of the next largest size is "First Size,"—a most un¬ 
fortunate term since so many think that "First Size" is an invariable term for the 
largest size and the best grade. Throughout this list second sizes are indicated 
in such way that there can be no doubt as to their not being the largest size. 
VARIETIES DIFFER IN SIZE OF BULBS 
A very important factor in considering the sizes of bulbs is the wide variation 
in the sizes of types and varieties. The sizes of bulbs of one type or variety 
differ considerably from those of another. Therefore, such terms as are used to 
indicate the largest size, refer to the type or variety in question. In view of these 
variety variations, it frequently happens that the largest bulb of one variety may 
be no larger than the second largest size of another. We guarantee that the 
bulbs we offer are for that variety the sizes indicated. 
THE SIZES OF MIXTURES 
On page 7 we offer several mixtures of daffodils and tulips. There are also 
offered mixtures of crocus and ixias. These mixtures are generally made up from 
the best bulbs left over after picking out the largest bulbs for named varieties. 
Therefore, the bulbs in largest size mixture are not as large as the ones selected 
for named varieties. 
Our Uniform Price System 
Our same price each for 1 or 100 bulbs is born of the difficulties our proprietor has 
experienced in his efforts to have variety in his home garden. The having to buy varieties 
he did not want or having to buy more of certain varieties that he did want in order to 
get the benefit of collection prices has led him to work out this price system, which com¬ 
pletely removes both these buying barriers to garden progress. Our same price each for 1 
or 100 bulbs enables you to get what you want the way you want it without your having 
to pay extra on the items, of which you only want a few. Each collection is your own 
selection. 
The orders for 1939 bulbs, which have already come in, clearly indicate that our pur¬ 
chasers have discovered that they can save money on purchases of 100 bulbs of the same 
variety as well as on smaller lots of different varieties. The fact that the orders so far re¬ 
ceived have averaged 100 per cent larger than we estimated is full proof that the buying pub¬ 
lic appreciates the wonderful opportunity of buying bulbs of the highest quality on a 
more favorable basis than ever before or than anywhere else now.
