Helios 
of Giant Iucomparatle 
BEAT ALL. The perianth, colored glistening white, is very large 
with the petals overlapping. The crown, colored chrome-orange, 
makes a brilliant contrast against the white of the perianth. Pro- 
duces immense quantities of bloom and the bulbs multiply rapidly. 
These characteristics make it especially desirable for naturalizing. 
$2.66 per doz.; $18.40 per 100. 
BERNARDINO. A really gorgeous flower having a large well-closed 
cream-white perianth surmounted with a large deeply frilled cup 
colored soft yellow with a deep orange-apricot rim. A variety 
which can take a lot of abuse. $1.68 per doz.; $11.42 per 100. 
CROESUS. If you were to ask Mr. Elliott what is the finest Dafo- 
dil in cultivation, he would answer most emphatically, “Croesus.” 
This marvelous Daffodil has a mammoth, flat orange cup against 
the reflexed perianth of delicate, light lemon-yellow. A truly 
marvelous variety, and one which is remarkably free flowering. 
$1.72 per doz.; $11.60 per 100. 
DICK WELLBAND. This variety is for the collector of rare Daffo- 
dils. It is a very strong grower and exceptionally free blooming, 
and the flowers last an unusually long time. Daffodils of this 
general color have a tendency to fade badly in the sunlight but 
the most remarkable quality of Dick Wellband is that the color 
gets more intense with age. Its great flame-orange cup makes a 
spectacular contrast against the background of its glistening white 
perianth. Dick Wellband is a variety of startling beauty and one 
which stands out in the largest collection of Daffodils. 3 for 
$2.52; $8.20 per doz.

DAFFODILS 
FRANCISCA DRAKE. Some three years ago about one hundred 
varieties of new Daffodils were planted in our test garden. Most 
of them when they came into bloom we judged worthless. ‘Just 
another trumpet: a Barri not as good as Red Beacon—” was the 
disgusted comment of Mr. Elliott as he examined them. One, 
Francisca Drake, stood out from among the rest like a light- 
house on a dark night. It had a pure white perianth of un- 
usual substance, each petal was one and one-half inches wide 
and tinted gold at the base; the cup wide and deep rich gold at 
the base and changing to flaming orange-scarlet at the edge of 
the beautifully frilled trumpet. The flowers had the poise and 
grace of a gull on the wing. In the judgment of Mr. Elliott, 
the new Francisca Drake is lovely beyond compare. 3 for $1.28; 
$4.20 per doz.; $26.42 per 100. 
HELIOS. A few years ago the old giant Sir Watkin was the most 
popular Daffodil in existence. Helios is Sir Watkin increased in 
size, streamlined, and brought up to date. The great perianth 
is the same rich golden yellow; the petals still overlap gracefully 
and the same delicately frilled cup crowns the flower. Blooms 
earlier than the others. $1.82 per doz.; $12.16 per 100. 
JOHN EVELYN. A new Giant Daffodil with perfectly formed 
flat perianth measuring from five to six inches in diameter, col- 
ored a pure glistening white without a trace of cream, above 
which rises a flat cup two inches in diameter, fluted to the base 
and colored a clear lemon-yellow with. just a suggestion of 
orange. Admittedly one of the four or five most beautiful Daf- 
fodils in existence. $2.48 per doz.; $16.42 per 100.

Francisca Drake 
LUCIFER. Before the creation of Francisca Drake, Lucifer was 
the acknowledged leader of the red-cupped Daffodils; indispens- 
able in every garden. With its delicate sulphur-yellow, star- 
shaped perianth, and its chrome-yellow cup heavily suffused with 
orange-red, it is just as lovely now as it always has been though 
it is not, of course, as large or as perfect as the great Francisca 
Drake. When the individual flowers will not be examined too 
closely, Lucifer is ideal. $1.62 per doz.; $10.36 per 100. 
RED CROSS. Red Cross is famous everywhere in the world where 
Daffodils can be grown. It is one of those rare varieties equally 
prized in Scandinavia, in Britain, as well as in the United States. 
The flowers are unusually large and very strong. The perianth 
is flat, primrose-yellow; the cup very deep, densely frilled, deep 
yellow with a broad glistening orange margin. Red Cross is in- 
dispensable for flower show exhibitors and equally desirable for 
the gardens of those who do not care to compete. 3 for $1.00; 
$2.96 per doz.; $19.42 per 100. 
WHITEWELL. This new giant Daffodil has a pure white perianth, 
star-shaped and flat or only very slightly recurved. The cup is 
large and bold, beautifully frilled and fluted, colored deep prim- 
rose and having a glistening orange edge. The stems are rather 
long, holding the flower well above the foliage. $1.78 per doz.; 
$10.68 per 100. 
YELLOW POPPY. When Yellow Poppy was first introduced, 
English gardeners took it to their hearts and secured a virtual 
monopoly on all available bulbs. The declaration of war gave 
American growers their opportunity. The English were too busy 
to plant many bulbs and we were able to import ample propa- 
gating stocks. Those who have seen it will appreciate why we 
wanted it. It is truly outstanding. It has gorgeous flowers with 
overlapping primrose-yellow perianth crowned with an expanded 
shallow cup colored bright yellow edged orange. A stately va- 
riety standing more than 20 inches high and most excellent for 
forcing and unsurpassable in the garden or for naturalizing. 
$1.68 per doz.; $10.46 per 100.
