DAFFODILS 
These beautiful harbingers of spring are now taking a prominent place in our plant- 
ing and we take pleasure this year in offering one of the finest selections of Daffodils 
available in America, a number of varieties of which we believe are not procurable else- 
where in this country. Many of the marvelous new things from Ireland, England, Scotland, 
Holland, New Zealand and Australia are such great improvements over the old varieties 
commonly grown in gardens that there is little comparison. They vary in color from the 
deep yellow of the now familiar King Alfred to light lemon yellows, bicolor white and yel- 
lows, and various combinations of white or yellow with orange or red; and in a few cases, 
pink, buff, and apricot. 
There is considerable confusion prevailing as to the use of the terms, Daffodils, Jon- 
quils, and Narcissi. As the Royal Horticultural Society uses the name ‘Caffodil for all 
varieties and types of the genus, they will so be considered here. And, of course, Narcissus 
is the botanical name of all members of the group. Florists frequently incorrectly call 
yellow trumpet varieties jonquils, but the true jonquils are members of the group having 
rush shaped leaves and bearing several sweet scented yellow blossoms on a stem. Gardeners 
frequently call the yellow trumpet varieties Daffodils and the poeticus and poetaz varieties 
Narcissus. We shall designate all varieties as Daffodils. An abridged form of the Royal 
Horticultural Society’s classification follows: 
Division 1—Trumpet as long or longer than perianth segments. 
a. Yellow. 
b. White. 
ec. Trumpet yellow, perianth white or nearly white. 
Division 2—Incomparabilis. Cup or crown not less than one-third but less than the 
length of the perianth segments. 
a. Yellow, or yellow and red. 
b. Bicolor, white perianth and yellow cup. 
Division 5—Barrii. Same as division 2 but with cup less than one-third the length of 
the perianth segments. 
Division 4—Leedsii. Perianth white with crown white or pale yellow, or in pinkish 
tones. 
a. Same dimensions as Incomparabilis. 
b. Same dimensions as Barrii. 
Division 5—Triandrus hybrids. 
Division 6—Cyclamineus hybrids. 
Division 7—Jonquil hybrids. 
Division 8—Tazetta—includes polyanthus varieties. 
Division 9—Poeticus. 
Division 10—Doubles. 
Division 11—Various. 
PLEASE NOTE: ALL ORDERS FOR DAFFODILS SHOULD BE RECEIVED BE- 
FORE SEPTEMBER FIRST. You may rightly say that Daffodil bulbs may be purchased 
much later than this but as we grow mainly novelty varieties and all Daffodils benefit by 
early planting, we aim to plant in September; hence, we ask that orders may be received 
before September 1st to avoid disappointments. Orders may be held for shipment in Sep- 
tember or October, however. 
PLEASE READ 
In common with our practices on Glad sales, Daffodils are offered for cash or 25% 
down and the balance before delivery or bulbs may be shipped c.o.d. for balance. All stock 
offered subject to prior sale. On orders of $10.00 or more, 10% extra value in bulbs may be 
selected in place of the cash discount offered with Glads. I aim to send out doukle nose 
bulbs except in case of a few varieties that usually make mostly round bulbs. Most of these 
should give two blooms. 
2 [ appreciate your stating whether or not to substitute if I am out of a variety ordered. 
Kindly order Daffodils on separate sheet from Glads as it saves time here and may avoid 
mistakes. Prices quoted are prepaid. 
Remember: Please Order Daffodils Before September First.
