DAFFODILS 
DAFFODILS FOR CALIFORNIA GARDENS: Increased planting of 
daffodils will help materially in solving the problems of the home owner 
who hasn't much time to devote to gardening. The original plantings 
may be made from late September to December. Once made, the bulbs 
need not be moved for 3 to 5 years. They need no special care or fer- 
lilizing. Gophers do not eat them. In summer, shallow rooted annuals 
or vegetables may be planted over them and irrigated normally with- 
out harming them. Only two rules are important: Plant 4 or 5 inches 
deep, and do not cut the foliage until it is yellow and ripe.

For a succession of bloom, plant an early and a late variety together. 
Suggested combinations: Helios and Croesus; Silver Star and Hera; 
La Vestale and John Evelyn; Twink and Anna Croft; Jonquil Campernelli 
and Moonshine or Cheerfulness. © 
IMPORTANT: Except where specially noted, all our daffodils are 
No. 1 Double-Nose grade which produce two or more large flowers the 
first year. Round bulbs, which are commonly offered, usually produce 
only one flower the first year. 
QUANTITY RATES: Six 
bulbs of a variety take the 
dozen rate; for less than 6 
of a variety, the price each 
is 10% of the dozen prices; 
25 of a variety takes the 
100 rate. On orders total- 
ing 500 bulbs (any kind) or 
more, a discount of 10% is 
allowed.
