CORRECT DAFFODIL NOMENCLATURE 
Many of our gardening friends are under the impression that all yellow varieties are known as “Daffodils or 
Jonquils” and the white varieties as “Narcissus.” They are all correctly expressed by the botanical term of “Nar¬ 
cissus” or the English common name of “Daffodil.” However, the term of “Jonquil” applied to any but the true 
Jonquil type, listed under Division VII, is a misnomer. 
DIVISION I - TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet (or crown) as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments (petals) 
(Divided into three classes) 
CLASS A. ALL YELLOW 
AEROLITE. A golden daffodil that will replace many 
older varieties. The large flower is beautifully propor¬ 
tioned with a deep primrose perianth and a pure me¬ 
dium yellow trumpet. A long lasting daffodil either in 
the garden or after being cut. Highly recommended for 
naturalizing. $1.50 for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
DAWSON CITY. One of the most refined of the yellow 
Trumpets. A splendid garden variety as well as suitable 
for the exhibition table. Broad, flat, overlapping peri¬ 
anth of smooth substance with well-formed trumpet of 
purest golden yellow. $2.50 for 10; $22.50 per 100. 
DIOTIMA. Considered one of the finest of the new 
super-giant yellow Trumpets. The perianth measures 
5 to 6 inches across. Despite its great size, the whole 
flower is beautifully proportioned and is carried grace¬ 
fully on flattened tapering stems, 2 feet tall, entirely free 
from the amaryllis-like stiffness of many of the giant 
Trumpets. The broad overlapping petals form a star¬ 
shaped perianth of deep primrose, the trumpet is of a 
somewhat deeper color. Each, $1.75; $15.00 for 10.

ful despite its size. $2.45 for 10; $22.00 per 100.

dils. The dainty little Trumpet flowers are of a rich full 
yellow. Height, 3 inches. It enjoys peaty soil and may 
be natualized in rockeries, or in short grass. Very 
scarce. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100.

daffodil of superb, yet graceful proportions. Massive,

well-formed trumpet. A most suitable exhibition va¬ 
riety. Each, $1.75; $15.00 for 10. See illustration,

lection. Each, $2.00; $19.00 for 10. See illustration,
