HERMITAGE GARDENS are located at Aspen, Md., 7 miles 
north of the Md.—D. C. line on the Brookville (Seventh 
Street) Pike, route 97 out of Washington; and from Balti¬ 
more through Ellicott City to Olney, then south on route 
97 about 51/2 miles. 
An exhibit of the popular varieties is maintained during 
the flo'wering season, which begins in late March and com 
tinues to mid-May. Visitors are cordially invited to see it, 
as well as the gardens in which are growing more than 400 
of the better varieties and thousands of seedlings. 
The production of new varieties from controlled crosses 
of the best varieties and species has been an absorbing 
hobby since 1925. Among the thousands that bloom each 
year are many of the very highest qu^ity. They must be 
seen to be appreciated. It is not possible to describe them 
in the limits of this catalog. The best are offered to appre¬ 
ciative daffodil lovers at very moderate prices. 
Figures in parentheses following name indicate the rela¬ 
tive season of bloom, 1 being earliest, and 6 latest. F. F. C.,

by the Royal Horticultural Society (and by others); A. M., 
Award of Merit.

ajiy variety is sold out I will substitute a variety of similar 
character and value unless the purchaser instructs other¬ 
wise.
