LITTLE DAFFODILS AND SPECIES 
These are distinctive sorts quite apart from the general run 
of narcissi-daffodils. All are hardy and easily grown and would 
be quite at home in rock gardens. 
Triandrus Hybrids 
These hybrids of Narcissus Triandrus have a most graceful 
form. There are usually two or three lovely blossoms in an 
attractive cluster. Most of them are white or nearly so. We 
think there are few narcissi more beautiful than Thalia and 
the very similar Moonshine. 
AGNES HARVEY. An exquisite little flower of purest 
white unmarked by any color. Each stem carries one or two 
flowers with starry perianth and short trumpet. 3 for 60c, 
12 for $2.25. 
MOONSHINE. A very lovely creamy white narcissus of 
the Thalia type. Often three flowers on a stem, beautifully 
arranged and gracefully drooping. 3 for 40c, 12 for $1.45. 
PEARLY' QUEEN. Each stem bears two or three flowers 
with star-shaped creamy white perianth and short smooth 
trumpet of lemon yellow. The distinct pearly sheen provides 
the name. The drooping flower clusters are freely produced. 
3 for 30c, 12 for $1.10, 100 for $8.00. 
QUEEN OF SPAIN. A wild hybrid discovered in Spain. 
One of the most distinct and graceful daffodils. Highly rec¬ 
ommended for naturalizing and rock gardens. Soft delicate 
canary yellow with gracefully reflexing perianth. Height 12 
inches. Each 25c, 3 for 70c, 12 for $2.50. 
SILVER CHIMES. This outstanding flower has been the 
winner in innumerable prizes in the small-cupped Triandrus 
Hybrids division. It is a hybrid of a triandrus with a tazetta 
and frequently produces heads of six or eight flowers with pure 
white perianth and very pale primrose cup. It grows remark¬ 
ably well on the Pacific coast and other mild parts of the 
country. For colder climates it makes a beautiful plant to 
grow in a cool greenhouse. Each $3.50. 
THALIA. Each stem bears two to four flowers of purest 
white, arranged in a beautiful cluster. It is one of the most 
exquisite things in our entire catalog. 3 for 55c, 12 for $2.00. 
BULBOCODIUM CITRINUS. The large sulfur Hoop Petti¬ 
coat. Beautiful pale citron flowers on 6 to 8-inch stems. Pre¬ 
fers a damp sandy peat soil. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.80. 
BULBOCODIUM CONSPICUUS. Some of the narcissus 
species are a little difficult to grow but not this little hoop- 
petticoat. It is not exacting as to growing conditions but pre¬ 
fers a sandy peat soil with plenty of moisture while in growth. 
The little golden yellow flowers grow about 6 inches high. The 
foliage is slender and rush-like. We have an extra good stock 
of bulbs grown from seeds that will prove much more satis¬ 
factory than the usual stock. 12 for 70c, 100 for $5.00. 
CANALICULATUS. A dainty little polyanthus narcissus 
suitable for sunny situations in the rock garden. Tiny heads 
of three or four florets on 6-inch stems. White perianth and 
globular yellow cup. Sweetly scented. Grows very easily and 
increases rapidly. 12 for 70c, 100 for $5.00. 
FEBRUARY GOLD (Cyclamineus Hybrid). This beautiful 
little daffodil is especially desirable for with us the golden 
yellow flow’ers each year introduce the daffodil season. The 
perianth is beautifully reflexed, giving the flower a very dis¬ 
tinct appearance. Each 25c. 3 for 60c, 12 for $2.25.

Hints on Growing Daffodils 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us for giving 
them the proper care by producing more and better flowers. 
Start with good bulbs; this almost guarantees flowers for the 
first year. See that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phosphates and 
potash. Early planting is advisable. September is the best 
month for most parts of the country Cover the tops of the 
bulbs about 4 inches, and in cold climates mulch well after 
the ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the bulbs too 
many years without resetting them. They become crowded and 
fail to bloom. About every third year, dig the bulbs when the 
tops have ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in the 
fall. Never move the bulbs before or during blooming time as 
it will injure their growth very severely.
