Poetaz Narcissus, Elvira 
elas ONwcissi 
Particularly Recommended In This Class is Laurens Koster 
Division 8: All Poetaz are hybrids from Poeticus Ornatus and Polyanthus 
Narcissi. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, bearing heads of large, 
well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant. There is no better group for in- 
door culture in flats, pots or bowls, while if planted in time, their hardi- 
ness outdoors leaves nothing to Le desired. 
* A dmiration Doz. $2.30, 100 $15.00 
This beautiful cluster-flowered Daffodil is especially lovely in full sun- 
light, as it has a transparent character, but the flowers viewed in shade 
do not look poor or papery. The perianth, which is a sulphur-yellow, 
seems rather to be of the quality of the soft taffeta silk which, in the 
old days, was known as “‘sarsenet,’’ and the petals are slightly ridged 
lengthwise. The corona is of rich orange-scarlet and there are usually 
about 6 flowers to a stalk. 
Cheerfulness Doz. $1.65, 100 $10.75 
The double Elvira, a very pleasing double white Poetaz, good stems, a 
fine garden and show flower. 
Elvira Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.09 
Three to four large flowers of great substance, borne on long, grace- 
ful stem; broad white petals and a golden yellow cup, edged orange; 
delicately fragrant. Makes a splendid combination in the garden when 
planted among the earliest Darwin Tulips or massed on a bank with 
Tulipa Clusiana. 
Frans Hals Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.00 
Creamy white perianth of perfect form, yellow cup, which sparkles in 
the sunlight, exceedingly free flowering. 
Glorious Each $0.55, Doz. $5.50, 100 $37.50

eye orange, edged red; good for semi-shade; very early and excellent 
variety for growing in the house. (Color illustration, page 12.) 
*Klondyke Doz. $1.55, 100 $10.25 
One of the finest of the yellow Poetaz. Perianth is of rich yellow with 
a slightly darker cup. 
*Laurens Koster Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00

Orange Cup Doz. $1.65, 100 $10.75 
Creamy white, conspicuous orange cup, a most delightful color com- 
bination of plastic rubies floating on sulphur pools, 6 to 8 florets and 
usually two stems per bulb. Keeps its color in bright sunlight positions. 
*Scarlet Gem Each $0.30, Doz. $3.00, 100 $21.00 
Here is a very artistic contrast in color. The attractive, finely formed 
flower has a perianth of primrose-yellow with a deep orange cup. A most 
interesting Poetaz.
