POETICUS DAFFODILS 
Poets Narcissus, loved by poets from Vergil to Tennyson, have white petals 
with a red edged cup a contrast that gives distinction. Altho they bloom late 
they must be planted very early. Some are not too easy to grow but these are. 
Horace. Conspicuous red eye. Free flowering. 10c ea. $1.00 doz. 
Recurvus. Pheasant’s Eye Narcissus. The variety known by the poet Vergil 
8c ea. 65c doz. 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
The ‘cluster flowered.’’ Hardy only in mild climates, but unequalled for 
pots in the house. Highly perfumed. May be grown in bowls of fiber or held 
up by pebbles in a dish of water. 
Chinese Lily. White with yellow eye. Blossoms Dec. to Jan. 10c ea. 85c doz. 
Grand Monarque. White with primrose eye. 10c ea. 85c doz. 
Paper White. Pure white, earliest. 8c ea. 50c doz. $4.00 per 100. 
Soliel d’Or. Petals pure deep golden yellow, cup brilliant orange. Makes 
brilliant effect in the garden here in Jan. Equally fine in the house and goes 
right on blooming even at 20° F. The most desirable in this group. Special price, 
8c ea. 60c doz. $4.75 per 100 post paid. Larger size, same price, charges collect. 
POETAZ HYBRIDS 
Hybrids between the Polyanthus and Poet’s Narcissus. Hardy and fine in 
pots or garden. 
Aspasia. Pure white, yellow cup. Best in this color. 10c ea. 90c doz. 
Orange Cup. Pale yellow, with deep orange cup. 10c ea. $1.00 doz. 
JONQUILS 
They look like small Trumpet Daffodils, with about three flowers on a 
stem. Exquisite. Very hardy and rapid multipliers. Fine for potting. A most 
alluring and distinctive fragrance. 
Campernelle regulosus. Improved pure yellow. 10c ea. 85c doz. 
Golden Scepter. A new Jonquil-Daffodil hybrid. Flowers 3” across. Late 
deep Jonquil yellow. 25c ea. 
Jonquilla simplex. The smallest. It has two or three perfectly shaped, tiny 
daffodils of pure rich yellow topping a 10” stem. It is the sweetest scented of 
Jonquils, but never heavy like the scent of the Polyanthus. Forces well in pots. 
Special price, 5c ea. 50c doz. Per 100, $3.50 postpaid. 
Narcissus Special. Many bulbs are left in the field when digging. Some- 
times labels are lost. We have assembled these unnamed ones. They are mostly 
the less expensive ones like Paper White and Soliel d’Or In fact you might get 
only those but there are quite a few better sorts including Large Trumpet 
types etc. These are the prizes that some of you draw. It’s a gamble. Price, 30 
for $1.00. 
Elisena longipetala. Rare Peruvian amaryllid. Bulb and plant much like 
Ismene, Hymenocallis calathina, and culture the same. The flowers are much 
prettier, being pure white with long petals. It may be grown in the north 
easily, like Ismene, by the Gladiolus method. $5.00 each. 
Eucharis grandiflora, The white purity and fragrance of their flowers are 
without rival. An evergreen pot plant of utmost desirability but unfortunately 
difficult for amateurs to flower. Potting soil should consist of sandy loam, cow 
manure and leaf mould. Add a sprinkle of bone-meal. If the pH is above 6 or 
6.5 substitute some peat for all or part of leaf mould. A handful of granular 
charcoal in each pot is good. Perfect drainage is important. They need full sun 
in winter but part shade in summer. After planting give little water until they 
start, but copiously when in vigorous growth. Night temperature about 65°. 
When leaves are fully matured and abundant, withhold water until they droop 
slightly. Then water. Repeat process several times for about a month then 
water freely and they should flower. Growing bulbs with roots and foliage, 
$1.50.
