C. miniata because of its ease of culture and reliability. But there is no 
variation in colors. Some of these miniata hybrids are very close to miniata, 
others are very different. Some are a very great improvement in size of 
flowers. We have sold many of these for $5.00 each. We would like to 
classify and select them for color variations but time does not permit as there 
are several thousand in stock. We have therefore decided to reduce the 
stock first. Any plant in the lot is well worth more than this price. Some 
are worth double. Large plants, $2.50 ea., $24 per doz. Blooming size $2.00 
ea., $19.00 per doz. $150 per 100. Small plants should bloom in two years, $1 
ea., $9.50 per dbz. Per 100, $75. 
Note. No one can fortell whether or not a Clivia will bloom the following 
season. Hence a “blooming size” Clivia is one as large as those plants that 
do frequently bloom. 
Cyrtanthus are small bulbous plants about the size of Zephityanthes. The 
lovely long tubular flowers appear abundantly in the spring with a few now 
and then thruout most of the year. Easy to grow in pots or in garden in half 
shade. Evergreen. In the north they must be potted to spend the winter 
in a semi--donmant state. Special reduced prices. 
C. lutescens. Bright yellow flowers. 35c ea. $3.50 per doz. 
C. mackenii. Ivory white. 35c ea. $3.50 per doz. 
DAFFODILS 
This name for all Narcissi has the authority of the British Royal Horti¬ 
culture Society. They are universal garden favorites. 
Culture. All Daffodils except the Polyanthus Narcissus are hardy both 
in the mild climate of the south as well as in the colder northern states. In the 
north especially it is best to plant the bulbs rather deep where the frost does 
not reach. Six inches is about right. Smaller bulbs like Jonquils may go more 
shallow and be mulched. In California too, and all the south there is an ad¬ 
vantage in deep planting. We plant the trumpets at least 4" deep. 
Some Daffodil is fitted for about every situation and exposure in the gar¬ 
den. A little shade is good for probably every one and some need) about 90%‘ 
shade in mid-day with full sun only In morning and evening. 
Where special requirements are needed,, that is mentioned with the de¬ 
scription. 
The time of planting should not be delayed. Plant early for best results. 
Poeticus should be planted very early. Most of them are ruined if still out of 
the ground by Nov. 1. 
Sandy loam is the best soil, but any good rich garden soil will do. The 
addition of thoroughly decayed manure is a help. Use no fresh manure. The 
addition of lime to the soil is good and necessary if leaf mold is used, as they 
need a mildly alkaline or neutral soil. 
Many people cut off the tops of Daffodils after flowering. As a result 
they do not bloom for several years. Keep them growing as long as pos¬ 
sible to increase in number and size and to miake a blooming bud for the next 
season. Remove the leaves only when they begin to turn yellow. That will be 
in June in So. California. 
All Daffodils bloom well in the house, but certain ones are especially suited 
to pot culture. These are mentioned.
