Particularly Recommended In This Class is Laurens Koster 
Division 8: All Poetaz are hybrids from Poeticus Ornatus and Polyanthus 
Narcissi. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, bearing heads of large, 
well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant. There is no better group for iri- 
door culture in flats, pots or bowls, while if planted in time, their hardi¬ 
ness outdoors leaves nothing to be desired. 
^Admiration Doz. $2.05,100 $13.00 
This beautiful cluster-flowered Daffodil is especially lovely in full sun¬ 
light, as it has a transparent character, but the flowers viewed in shade 
do not look poor or papery. The perianth, which is a sulphur-yellow, 
seems rather to be of the quality of the soft taffeta silk which, in the 
old days, was known as "sarsenet," and the petals are slightly ridged 
lengthwise. The corona is of rich orange-scarlet and there are usually 
about 6 flowers to a stalk. 
Cheerfulness Doz. $1.40, 100 $9.25

fine garden and show flower.

Tulipa Clusiana.
