LEWISIA REDIVIVA 
“The most beautiful flower of its season”, so we would 
estimate Lewisia rediviva, and even though you might, in- * 
conceivably to us, make other choice, we know that at 
least you must rank Lewisia very close to the top. Big 
blossoms like feathery waterlilies in exquisite pink tint- 
ings, from softest blush to a shade so deep and rich that 
it approaches rose, petals with the sheen and texture of 
silk. Of fullest winter-hardiness, and of rather easy culture 
in rock garden or border. For a wonder display, plant it 
in quantity in slightly raised beds to insure good drainage, 
preferably in a soil not too heavy, mixing a proportion of 
peat-moss with the soil to act as a constant moisture-feed¬ 
ing sponge. The beds may be so shaped and placed as not 
to appear beds at all, but natural colonies, if thought in 
the planning be used. Keep them hidden though, from the 
casual passer’s view, else they will bring to inquiry many 
a flower-loving stranger; but perhaps you may not mind 
that. This Lewisia is very dwarf, but flowers of sur¬ 
prising size and number. Plants supplied will be dormant, 
roots a bit flabby, but that’s their nature, just the way 
they should be at planting time, and this is the time to 
plant. Only point you have to watch is to push the tubers 
down in the soil again if frost should heave them out 
during the winter. Lewisia blooms during May and June. 
7 for 50c ; 15 for $1.00 ; 100 for $6.00. 
DAFFODILS FOR SPRING 
Call them Daffodils or Narcissi as you will, for the two 
names really mean the same thing, though different persons 
may apply them variously to diverse sections of the great 
Daffodil-Narcissus group. Under whatever name you 
know them, the flowers are just as lovely, just as varied, 
the bulbs just as easy to grow. The kinds below are all 
of fullest winter hardiness in the garden, but they are 
suitable too, for slow winter forcing- in pots indoors. 
NARCISSUS KING ALFRED—Giant trumpets of richest 
possible golden yellow, deeply frilled and recurved. Vigor¬ 
ous. 3 for 40c; 10 for $1.25 ; 25 for $2.75 ; 100 for $10.00. 
NARCISSUS POETICUS ORNATUS—Flat flowers of 
purest whiteness, tiny center-eye of pale yellow, margined 
scarlet. This is the Narcissus of the Poets. Particularly 
good for naturalizing. 9 for 50c; 25 for $1.25; 100 for 
$4.50. 
NARCISSUS LAURENS ROSTER—A cluster-flowered 
Narcissus with richly, sweetly perfumed blossoms, these 
white and waxen, with deeply fluted center-cups of orange. 
Though about as garden-hardy as the rest, it adapts itself 
particularly well to winter window pot culture, forcing 
with very considerable ease. 3 for 25c; 10 for 70c; 25 
for $1.55. 
NARCISSUS BATH’S FLAME—Bright yellow perianth, 
with medium or “chalice” cup of darker yellow edged with 
brilliant orange scarlet. 2 for 25c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for 
$2.25. 
NARCISSUS SIR WATKIN—Largest of the chalice type 
Daffodils, a showy and robust variety. Soft yellow 
perianth, wide trumpet of deep, dark golden yellow. 4 for 
35c; 10 for 80c; 25 for $1.75. 
NARCISSUS ORANGE PHOENIX—Big fully double flow¬ 
ers, palest sulphur with bright orange. 3 for 25c; 10 for 
75c. 
NARCISSUS COLLECTION—Three bulbs each of the above 
six kinds, separate bags, separate labels, for $1.60. 
DAFFODIL BLEND—Here is a general mixture of the 
hardy Daffodils (Narcissi), the above with many others, 
giving you near to the full range of color and form. 
Showy for garden or border planting, low enough in cost 
so that one may afford wide naturalizing of them in lawn, 
meadow or woodland. Please note that Narcissus varieties 
and groups vary much in size of bulb. Bulbs of some kinds 
being always small, others always by their nature, large. 
This being a general mixture, will contain bulbs of many 
different sizes, but each will be blooming size for the 
particular type. 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.10 ; 100 for $3.65.

Hoop-petticoat Daffodil, and for Double Sweet Jonquil.
