SNaraissi or Naffodils 
CORRECT DAFFODIL NOMENCLATURE 
Many of our gardening friends are under the impression that all yellow varieties are known as “Daffodils or 
Jonquils” and the white varieties as “Narcissus.” 
They are all correctly expressed by the botanical term of “Nar- 
cissus” or the English common name of “Daffodil.” However, the term of “Jonquil” applied to any but the true 
Jonquil type, listed under Division VII, is a misnomer. 
DIVISION | 
- TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet (or crown) as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments (petals) 
(Divided into three classes) 
25 Bulbs or More of One Variety are Offered at the Hundred Price 
CLASS A. ALL YELLOW 
AEROLITE. A golden Daffodil that will replace many 
older varieties. The large flower is beautifully propor- 
tioned, with a deep primrose perianth and a pure me- 
dium yellow trumpet. A long lasting Daffodil either in 
the garden or after being cut. Highly recommended for 
naturalizing. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
ALASNAM. Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet of 
pure deep yellow, a shade deeper than the perianth. 
Excellent for naturalizing planting. Early flowering va- 
riety. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
DAWSON CITY. One of the most refined of the yellow 
Trumpets. A splendid garden variety as well as suitable 
for the exhibition table. Broad, flat, overlapping peri- 
anth of smooth substance with well-formed trumpet of 
purest golden yellow. $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100. 
DIOTIMA. Considered one of the finest of the new 
super-giant yellow Trumpets. The perianth measures 
5 to 6 inches across. Despite its great size, the whole 
flower is beautifully proportioned and is carried grace- 
fully on flattened tapering stems, 2 feet tall, entirely free 
from the Amaryllis-like stiffness of many of the giant 
Trumpets. The broad overlapping petals form a star- 
shaped perianth of deep primrose, the trumpet is of a 
somewhat deeper color. Each, $1.00; $9.00 for 10. 
“EMPEROR. An old variety, though still deserving a 
place in every garden. Rich, full yellow trumpet with 
a deep primrose perianth. Splendid for permanent mass 
planting and naturalizing. $1.15 for 10; $9.00 per 100. 
LKING ALFRED. A remarkably handsome Daffodil. 
Large, bold, golden yellow flower, deeply frilled at 
mouth; of lasting quality both in the gar- 
den and when cut. One of the best. A com- 
Gy mon variety but still hard to beat. Heavy, 
J’ double-nosed bulbs, $1.45 for 10; $12.00 
77 per 100. Extra heavy, double-nosed bulbs,

lection. A sensation in our borders at “Paradou” last 
spring. Each, $1.50; $15.00 for 10. See illustration,
