DAFFODILS 
\A/ITH no other garden flower, perhaps, 
* ■ has such rapid progress been made in 
the development of new varieties. During 
the past twenty years or so hybridists have 
improved the Daffodil to a marvelous ex¬ 
tent. In all types there are larger and more 
perfectly formed varieties but especially in 
the red-cupped types is the change most de¬ 
cided. Many of these are startling in their 
beauty, and cups have been developed to 
the most intense shades of orange and scar¬ 
let. No garden should be without a good 
share of the newer Daffodils. 
The following list includes a fine range, 
giving a choice of the best varieties in each 
type. The official classification is followed 
and we urge all gardeners to acquaint them¬ 
selves with the differences in the classes. 
The flowering time of each variety is indicated in 
roman numerals after the name as follows: I (early), 
II (midseason). III (late).

DIVISION I • Trumpet Daffodils 
Distinguishing character—Trumpet or Crown as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments. 
ALL-YELLOW VARIETIES 
Class A: Varieties with yellow or lemon-yellow trumpets, and perianth of same shade or lighter, but not white. 
Aerolite. (I.) Huge golden yellow flower, beauti¬ 
fully proportioned. The flat perianth is very 
broad and star-shaped, trumpet long and grace¬ 
ful. Long lasting either in garden or cut. Highly 
recommended. (Color illustration, page 30.) 
$1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Alasnam. (I.) Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet of 
pure deep yellow, a shade deeper than the perianth. 
Finely placed, with good neck, the flower "looks you in 
the eye." Excellent for landscape groups. Very early. 
$4.25 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 
Dawson City. (III.) One of the most refined of the yellow 
trumpets of merit as a splendid garden variety or for 
exhibition table. Broad, flat, overlapping perianth of 
smooth substance with well-formed, flanged trumpet of 
the purest golden yellow. $3.25 per doz.; $22.50 per 
100 . 
Diotima. (I.) Despite its huge size (perianth being 5 to 6 inches 
across), the whole flower is beautifully proportioned and is car¬ 
ried gracefully on flattened, tapering stems, 2 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 medium deep primrose; trumpet somewhat more deeply col¬ 
ored. Undoubtedly one of the best for many years to come. 
$1.75 each; $18.50 per doz. 
Emperor. (III.) Perianth deep primrose-yellow; trumpet rich yel¬ 
low. A very large flower. Excellent for naturalizing or forcing. 
One of the oldest and most satisfactory Daffodils grown.
