DAFFODILS " - 2 r i 
~~ ON ~~ ecient 
PARADE 

The Daffodil, also called Jonquil or Narcissus, according to locality, is one of the 
most beautiful and permanent of all garden flowers; also a superb cut flower for the 
house, especially if not kept in a dry, heated room. The fact that the earlier varieties 
bloom even before winter ends is ample proof that they love cool weather. A careful 
reading of what follows will enable anyone to plant bulbs which will give blooms over a 
period of from 50 to 70 days. They are among the earliest of all garden subjects, re- 
quiring no care or attention. Once planted in well-drained soil, 3 to 6 inches deep de- 
pending on the size of bulb, they will thrive and increase indefinitely. It is advisable, 
however, to dig, separate, and replant every 3 or 4 years as multiplication is so rapid 
that an area of soil which can support one bulb can not take care of 6 or 8 and allow 
them all to produce satisfactory blooms. 
The most outstanding points about the following list are the + and — figures 
appearing before each variety. The earliest to bloom is Christmas Glory (class 1A) 
and the + 31 appearing before it indicates that, in an average season, it will bloom 31 
days before Croesus (class 2A) which is a midseason, or peak of the blooming season 
variety. While Albo Pleno (class 10) with its — 32 indicates its blooming time is 32 
days after Croesus and 63 days later than Christmas Glory. There are hundreds of va- 
rieties that bloom between these two extremes Those appearing on this list have been 
most carefully selected and are outstanding in their various classes. With a little study 
every one can enjoy a real DAFFODIL PARADE in a way that has never before been 
possible. Order bulbs now for shipment in early September while varieties are fresh in 
your memory and earn a 5% discount for cash, allowed only during March and April. It 
is probable that there will again be a shortage on certain novelty types and early or- 
ders will of course receive preference at shipping time. If preferred, they will be sent 
C. O. D. also in September. Business reference: Bank of Gloucester, Gloucester, Vir- 
ginia, and M. Van Waveren & Sons, Nuttall P. O., Gloucester, Virginia. 
Any one interested in obtaining price and blooming data on varieties not listed 
can obtain them by writing me. Also I will gladly answer any written questions per- 
taining to your problems with Daffodils.
