Poeticus, Horace 
The Poet^s Narcissus 
Narcissus Poeticus 
Division 9. This class of Narcissus, in¬ 
stead of having a trumpet or crown, has a 
small, wide-mouthed cup. They are very 
hardy, and are used in large numbers for 
naturalizing, their simplicity of form and the 
refined character of their blooms making 
them excellent flowers for cutting. 
ACT^A. The largest and most beautiful of 
the new Poeticus. Pure white perianth; 
broad, overlapping petals with a flat lemon- 
yellow cup frilled deep red. 
20 cts. each; $1.80 for 10; $15.00 per 100 
HOMER. This variety, like Horace, is one 
of the better types of Poet’s Narcissus. 
Perianth pure white; cup canary-yellow, 
rimmed bright red. Excellent variety for 
forcing because of the large size of the 
flower, and length of stem. 
15 cts. each; $1.25 for 10; $8.00 per 100 
HORACE. This variety, like Homer, is one 
of the better types of the Poet’s Narcissus. 
Perianth pure white; cup canary-yellow, 
rimmed bright red. 
15 cts. each; $1.25 for 10; $8.00 per 100 
ORNATUS. Pure white flowers; saffron cup, 
tinged rosy scarlet. Larger than the old 
original Poeticus, and earlier in bloom. 
Can be forced without difficulty. 
10 cts. each; 80 cts. for 10; $7.00 per 100 
PHEASANT’S EYE. The original late- 
flowering Pheasant’s Eye variety popular 
for gardens and naturalizing. Pure white 
flowers with orange cup, edged red. 
10 cts. each; 70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
Tazetta and Tazetta Hybrids 
Division 8. Under this class of Narcissus 
we have two very popular types—Tazetta or 
the original Bunch-flowering Narcissus which 
can be grown in the house in pebbles and 
water, such as the Paper-White, Chinese 
Sacred, and Grand Solell d’Or listed on the 
following page, and the increasingly popular 
hybrid tvpe known as Poetaz, which are 
now extensively planted in gardens on ac¬ 
count of the mass effect of their blooms. 
Bulbocodium conspicuus and Triandrus albus 
Poetaz 
The Hardy Cluster-flowered Poet's Narcissus 
The chief characteristic of this type of 
Narcissus is that hybridizers by crossing the 
strong-scented Polyanthus varieties with the 
Poeticus type, developed a hardy strain of 
Daffodils which has the bunch-flowered 
character of the Polyanthus with larger 
flowers similar to the Poet’s described on this 
page. They are excellent for pot-culture and 
are splendid for the garden border. 
ADMIRATION. Sulphur-yellow perianth; 
sulphur-yellow eye with scarlet-red border. 
A beautiful variety in every way. 
20 cts. each; $1.80 for 10; $15.00 per 100 
ASPASIA. Perianth pure white, with soft 
yellow eye; three or four flowers on a stem. 
10 cts. each; 80 cts. for 10; $7.00 per 100 
ELVIRA. Clusters of 3 or 4 large flowers with 
broad white petals and bright yellow cups 
thinly edged orange. One of the loveliest 
of a lovely family. 
10 cts. each; 90 cts. for 10; $8.00 per 100 
GLORIOUS. Pure white, broad, overlap¬ 
ping petals, with really brilliant scarlet 
cup. Free-flowering. Recommended as the 
finest Poetaz in cultivation. Tall and ro¬ 
bust in the garden; excellent for forcing. 
60 cts. each; $5.50 for 10; $50.00 per 100 
KLpNDYKE. Perianth pure bright yellow, 
with golden yellow eye. Vigorous and 
remarkably free-flowering. This is probably 
the most useful yellow-flowered Poetaz 
type, holding its color without fading as 
much as the other yellow types of this class. 
10 cts. each; 90 cts. for iO; $8.00 per 100 
LAURENS KOSTER. Perianth pure white, 
with soft yellow eye. Robust growers, and 
probably the best of the older varieties for 
general garden planting. 
10 cts. each; 90 cts. for 10; $8.00 per 100 
MAJESTIC. Bright yellow cup, making a 
nice contrast with the finely formed snowy 
white perianth. 
15 cts. each; $1,25 for 10; $10.00 per 100

Poetaz. Perianth even yellow; cup bright 
orange. Greatly admired by all.

Poetaz, Orange Cup 
Miniature Daffodils 
Jor the Rock-Garden 
Division 11. Several of the botanical 
species of Daffodils are very tiny, making the 
rock-garden the logical place to use them. 
Eor this purpose they are ideal. In addition 
to the varieties listed below, we suggest the 
use of Division 5, the Triandrus and Triandrus 
Hybrids (page 6), and Division 6, the Cycla- 
mineus and Cyclamineus Hybrids (page 6) 
as especially suited for rock-garden planting.

low Hoop Petticoat. Rich golden yellow

BULBOCODIUM MONOPHYLLUS. The

of water while in growth.
