SOLFATARE (GIANT LEEDSI) 
Medium Trumpet Daffodils --Continued 
Red Cross (4) (Giant Incomparabilis) (See illustration). This splendid flower 
is very large and of perfect form. The soft yellow perianth is very flat and 
overlapping. The large expanded crown is of deep orange shading down 
to golden orange at center. Substantial, long lasting and a splendid exhibition 
and garden variety. Red Cross is similar in style to Fortune, Fortune being 
earlier with the color of its crown much deeper and more intense. First Class 
Certificate, Haarlem. 20c each, 3 bulbs 55c, $2.00 doz. 
Silver Star (Giant Leedsii) (See illustration). Of outstanding beauty, and worthy 
to be in every garden. Perfect broad-petaled star-shaped perianth of pure cream- 
white, with finely proportioned, wide mouih trumpet of primrose, changing to 
cream-white, just a shade deeper than perianth. 20c each, 3 bulbs 55c, $2.00 doz. 
Sir Watkin (2) (Incomparabilis). Perianth primrose-yellow; large and well-formed 
deep yellow cup. Long stemmed. A giant among the medium-crowned varieties.

Solfatare (3) (Giant Leedsii) (See illustration). This flower is so large it is used by 
many as a White Trumpet Daffodil. Very large bold flower with broad, white, 
overlapping perianth and very large, broad crown of creamy primrose, beauti- 
fully frilled at margin. A fine variety for bowls. Height 20 in. 20c each, 3 bulbs 
55c, $2.00 doz. 
Torch (3) (Incomparabilis). The large and deep orange cup is the outstanding 
feature of this good looking Daffodil, whose star-shaped yellow perianth is very 
broad. A free flowering, tall, vigorous grower. Height 20 in. Award of Merit, 
R.H.S. 3 bulbs 35c, $1.25 doz., $9.00 per 100.

to creamy white, retaining a remarkable flush of pale coppery gold at the edge. 
Height 25 in. First Class Cert., R. H.S. 50c¢ each, 3 bulbs $1.35, $5.00 doz. 
White Nile (2-3) (Giant Leedsii). On first opening the crown is very pale lemon, 
but the whole flower soon passes to absolutely pure white. It has a most beauti- 
fully formed even flat overlapping perianth of fine substance, 4 inches across, 
standing at right angles to the large crown, which is of perfect shape and finish, 
nicely ruffled at the brim. A most aristocratic and altogether lovely flower. Tall, 
vigorous and free of increase. Height 20 in. Award of Merit, R. H. S. 45¢ each, 
3 bulbs $1.20, $4.50 doz.
