DAFFODILS 
ALL-WHITE DAFFODILS 
In addition to the “white daffodils” listed below we wish to 
invite your attention to the beautiful Leedsii varieties. Many 
of these sorts have trumpets or cups as large as the “white 
daffodils” and are even more attractive. 
BEERSHEBA. The lovely form and pure whiteness of this 
flower have caused it to be cherished by daffodil lovers the 
world over. The magnificent perianth is perfectly flat and very 
broad. Earlier than King Alfred and because of its parchment¬ 
like substance lasts a long time. Double nose bulbs, each $2.00. 
Hound bulbs, each $1.60. 
LA V ESTALE. A very refined flower of beautiful form and 
large size. The trumpet is creamy yellow at first but after 
opening the entire flower becomes waxy-white. Each 25c, 3 for 
70c, 12 for $2.50. 
MADAME DE GRAAFF. This graceful daffodil was the 
first of a new class and the most famous of the white trumpets. 
A rather low growing free flowering plant. The trumpet opens 
pale primrose changing to white. Late. 3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
MRS. E. H. KRELAGE. The best white daffodil of medium 
price. A variety that is so strong and satisfactory that it is 
often called “the white King Alfred”. After opening the flower 
is a uniform white of waxy texture. 3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
PINK DAFFODILS 
Since they are so entirely distinct from other varieties, we 
are placing these in a little group all their own. Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse is officially a Leedsii but that is misleading for it 
is a large trumpet daffodil in shape. 
LOVENEST. A very dainty flower with a nicely shaped 
trumpet of saffron-yellow turning to apricot-pink. Pure white 
starry perianth. Medium in height. Very early. Rounds, 
each 40c, 3 for $1.10, 12 for $3.85. Double nose, each 50c, 
3 for $1.35 12 for $4.80. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE. The famous “pink” daffodil. The 
long slender trumpet is apricot-pink changing to shell-pink at 
the deeply fringed edge. Informal ivory-white perianth. Al¬ 
though the whole flower has a delicately beautiful appearance 
it is really unusually long lasting. Round bulbs, each $1.40, 
3 for $3.85, 12 for $14.00. Double nose, each $1.75, 3 for $4.80, 
12 for $17.50. 
Leedsii Narcissi 
Division 4. According to the official classification any white 
or nearly white daffodil is put in the Leedsii class if the trum¬ 
pet is shorter than the perianth segment. This results in 
many varieties being put in the Leedsii class that look like 
“All White Daffodils”, e. g. Daisy Schaffer, Louis Capet, Gertie 
Millar. Another group has small cups like in the Barrii class, 
e. g. Queen of the North. Mrs. Nettie O’Melveny. 
DAISY SCHAFFER. One of the very finest and largest of 
the new Giant Leedsii type with flowers as large as a giant 
trumpet but much more graceful in form. Very wide pure 
white perianth. Large widely opened cup of light canary - 
yellow. Double nose bulbs, each $3.60. Round bulbs, $3.00. 
MRS. NETTIE O'M ELVENY 
pale primrose cup deeply fluted and frilled. Double nose bulbs, 
each 45c, 3 for $1.30, 12 for $4.25. Round bulbs, each 35c, 
3 for 95c, 12 for $3.40. 
HERA. When this flower is fully developed it becomes a 
uniform clear white—a very lovely thing. Large broad petaled 
perianth, medium size cup, nicely frilled, edged with primrose 
on opening. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00. 
LOUIS CAPET. A perfectly formed white daffodil that 
would add distinction to the rock garden or naturalized plant¬ 
ing. White perianth, trumpet type cup of light primrose. Clean 
upright foliage. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.25. 
MRS. LANGTRY. White perianth, cup edged lemon-yellow 
when opening, but soon becomes pure white. Rapid multiplier 
and free flowering. One of the best for naturalizing. Also can 
be used to advantage in the rock garden. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4. 
MRS. NETTIE O’MELVENY. A fine tall-stemmed flower 
with large perianth of pure white, medium size cup of clear 
lemon-yellow with orange picotee. A delightful flower with 
more color in the cup than the other Leedsii narcissi listed 
here. 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
QUEEN OF THE NORTH. Broad glistening white peri¬ 
anth. Medium size lemon-yellow cup that is prettily fluted. A 
very attractive flower on a tall stem. 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
SILVER STAR. One of the very loveliest daffodils and now 
most moderate in price. Broad creamy-white perianth with a 
beautifully ruffled wide mouthed trumpet just a shade deeper. 
Unusually free flowering. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.35, 100 for $10.00. 
TUNIS. A magnificent daffodil for the garden and an ex¬ 
hibition variety of much merit. Large long-lasting flowers on 
tall stems. Attractive tall foliage. Broad waved white peri¬ 
anth. Large expanded cup which opens primrose and changes 
to white with a well marked frill of coppery gold. Highly rec¬ 
ommended for California as well as colder climates. Double 
nose bulbs, 40c each, 3 for $1.10, 12 for $4.00. Large round 
bulbs, 30c each, 3 for 85c. 12 for $3.00. 
DELAWARE. This is one of our special favorites. It is a -+ 
beautifully formed flower of large size. The large trumpet or 
cup is unusually deeply crinkled and of thick velvety sub- There are a lot of different grades of daffodils—the finest is 
stance. The cup opens a golden quince color and changes to the large double nose bulbs. This is the grade we supply unless 
creamy lemon. Pure white perianth. Delightfully fragrant. we specify otherwise. These produce at least two flowers per

GERTIE MILLAR. Another of the charming Giant Leedsii largest dealers is of a much poorer grade. Our round bulbs 
type that have trumpets as large as the large trumpet division are a good value, too. However, they give only one flower the 
but are much more gracefully formed. Pure white perianth, first season.
