LEEDSII NARCISSUS 
These are the Star Narcissus. Perianths are white, 
and cups or crowns white, cream or pale citron, 
sometimes tinged with pink or apricot. They are very 
dainty, have remarkable substance and are splendid 
keepers. I consider Silver Star the best of the large 
cupped in the lower priced ones and Mrs. Nette 
O’Melveny in the short cupped. 
DAISY SCHAFFER. (3) One of the most 
outstanding of the new Giant Leedsii 
type, the flower inches across, with 
cup nearly 2 inches resembles a Giant 
Trumpet, but much more graceful in 
form; perianth pure white, with cup open¬ 
ing primrose and turning to light canary- 
yellow. Long lemon-yellow stigma and 
styles add to the color harmony of this 
remarkable flower; a leader for years to 
come. Awarded a Gold Medal at the 
“Flora” International Exhibition, Haar¬ 
lem, Holland, 1935; many other awards. 
Each $1.75. 
GERTIE MILLAR. (3) Wonderful flower 
of the new Giant Leedsii type with pure 
white perianth of enormous size; the 
beautiful cup is pale primrose, deeply 
fluted and frilled and of translucent tex¬ 
ture; unusually long pistils and anthers 
match these colors perfectly. Each 30c, 
doz. $3.00. 
HERA. (3) Broad petaled creamy white 
perianth; star-shaped and deeply frilled 
cup of creamy white; with a dainty edg¬ 
ing of light primrose. Very chaste in ap¬ 
pearance and a great favorite. Each 10c,

LORD KITCHENER. (3) Fine star-shaped 
white perianth; canary-yellow cup, nicely 
frilled.Each 10c, doz. $1.00. 
LA TENDRESSE. (2) Perianth is pure

first opening, changing to pure white, 
with a frilled clear pink edge. A most 
refined and distinct flower of good sub¬ 
stance. Each $1.25. 
MITYLENE. (3) A grand large flower with 
perianth of pure white, which is broad, 
rounded, and much overlapping. The sau¬ 
cer-shaped cup is wide and shallow, of 
palest primrose, fading almost to cream- 
white. The entire flower is of cardboard¬ 
like substance. Different from other 
Leedsiis. Has been given a First Class 
Certificate and four Awards of Merit. 
Recommended as one of the finest in this 
class. Each 75c. 
MRS. NETTE O’MELVENY. (3) A most 
charming daffodil with a pure white peri¬ 
anth and cup of clear lemon-yellow, with 
orange picotee. The splendid foliage, tall 
stems, and good neck make it a most de¬ 
lightful flower. Everyone falls in love 
with Nette’s fine pose and good manners.

MYSTIC. (6) A Leersii-Poeticus cross of 
rare beauty. The large overlapping peri¬ 
anth is glistening white; the flat cup is 
white, shading to a soft cool apple-green 
in the senter. The cup has a very narrow 
rim of pinkish orange. A most unusual 
and charming color combination, very 
chaste. Highly recommended. Each 35c,

SILVER SALVER. (5) Words cannot des¬ 
cribe this most refined and beautiful 
Leedsii-Poeticus hybrid. The well formed 
perianth is of Poeticus whiteness; the 
short flat cup or eye is clear apple green. 
Charming. Although it produces small 
bulbs, it is a good grower and free flow¬ 
ering. Each $1.00.

star-shaped perianth of pure cream- 
white, with finely proportioned, wide 
mouthed trumpet of primose, changing to
