PARADE 
HE 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 any one to plant bulbs which will give 
blooms over a period of from 50 to 60 days. They are among the earliest of all garden 
subjects, requiring little care or attention. Once planted, they will thrive and increase 
indefinitely. It is advisable, however, to dig, separate, and replant every 3 or 4 wears 
as multiplication is so rapid that an area of soil that can support one bulb can not 
take care of 6 or 8 and allow them 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 + 32 appearing before it indicates that in an average season, it will bloom 32 
days before Croesus (class 2A) which is mid-season, 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 64 days later than Christmas Glory. There are hundreds of varie- 
ties that bloom between these two extremes. Those appearing on this list have been 
mast 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 mind and earn a 5% discount for cash, allowed ONLY during March and April. 
It is probable that there will again be a shortage of certain novelty types and early 
orders 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,

Any one interested in obtaining prices and blooming data on varieties not listed, 
can obtain them by writing me. I have printed price lists, (without descriptions,) 
covering the 615 varieties I sell. Also I will gladly answer any written question pertain- 
ing to your problems with Daffodils.

-PLANTING INSTRUCTION FOR DAFFODILS 
The main requirement for success is a well drained soil. They are not happy where 
water will stand for a day or two after rains. Any good garden soil is ideal. Cow Ma- 
nure mixed in the soil at, or preferably before, planting time will produce blooms and 
bulbs of unbelievable size. Bone meal is the only safe substitute to use at planting 
time. A top dressing of stable manure during the winter months is always helpful; also 
serving aS a mulch. In the Middle Atlantic States, plant deep enough so the neck 
of bulb is covered by 3 or 4 inches of earth after ground has settled. In the more 
Northern States, 4 or 5 inches is desirable; while in the Southern States, 2 or 3 inches. 
is sufficient. All questions pertaining to their culture and care, cheerfully answered.
