DIVISION IX - Poeticus (Poet's Narcissus ) 
Old-fashioned, favorite type. All have snowy white flowers, with 
yellow or lemon-yellow cups, margined more or less deeply with 
red, and having a rich spicy odor. They do well in the open border 
or naturalized in grass, and are perfectly hardy. 
* Actaea. (II.) The largest Poeticus Daffodil. The pure white, broad 
and overlapping petals form a perianth over 4 inches in diam- 
eter. The eye is large and brightly colored. $3.50 per doz.; 
$25.00 per 100. 
Edwina. (1.) Purest white perianth; broad, overlapping petals; 
very flat cup, yellow-edged red. Fine form and substance. Highly 
recommended. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
Horace. (III.) Pure white perianth; conspicuous red eye. Free 
flowering and strong-stemmed. Splendid for forcing. $1.15 per 
doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
Ornatus maximus. (I/.) More symmetrical than the old Poeticus, 
and blooms much earlier. Flowers large, pure white; cup mar- 
gined with scarlet. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Recurvus (The Old Pheasant’s-Eye). (III.) White perianth; cup 
deep orange-red. One of the latest Daffodils, often blooming 
with the May-flowering Tulips. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 
DIVISION X - Double Daffodils 
The double varieties are particularly well adapted for winter 
forcing and keep a long time as cut flowers. Grown in the open, 
they are suited for planting in solid beds, or may be naturalized 
either in the lawn, meadow, or woodland. A clump here and there 
makes an attractive showing. 
Argent. (II.) Beautiful, semi-double, star-shaped flower with 
white petals and yellow and white center. Very hardy and free 
flowering. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
*Cheerfulnmess. (1.) Double white Poetaz hybrid. Bears three to 
four large flowers on a strong stem. While the general effect 
of the coloring is white, there is a suggestion of pale yellow at 
the base of the petals which gives character to the flower.

*Daphne. (III!.) A double form of Poeticus Ornatus. Large, well- 
formed flowers of purest white, and sweet scented. Lovely gar- 
den variety and easily forced. Is, undoubtedly, much more de- 
pendable than the old Alba Plena Odorata which very often 
failed to bloom except under unusually ideal conditions. $2.50 
per coz.; $17.50 per 100. 
Holland’s Glory. (IIl.) Of lovely clear lemon-yellow throughout. 
In form it tends to have a distinct double perianth and a sep- 
arate trumpet which is also fully double. Not the rosette tyne

* Mary Copeland. (III.) One of the finest. The long petals are 
pure creamy white, with a golden ray down the center, inter- 
spersed with shorter petals of lemon and brilliant orange, giving 
a three-color effect. Unsurpassed for the garden or the show 
bench. Doz. 100

Snowsprite. (IIl.) Pure white, with a few small petals of pale 
lemon-yellow. This is a double Leedsi type, and blooms very 
late, on tall stems. Unlike Alba Plena Odorata, this variety will 
flower anywhere. Highly recommended. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 
per 100. 
Texas. (III.) A huge flower borne on tall stem. The large soft yel- 
low petals are interspersed with brilliant orange. Fully double 
and very showy. Certainly one of the largest and finest in this 
class. $1.50 each; $16.50 per doz. 
Twink. (1.) Graceful, semi-double; petals alternating soft prim- 
rose and clear orange. Forces as easily as Golden Spur; out- 
doors is very early and free flowering. A fine all-around variety.

HOSEA WATERER 2seni2us" 

CNaturalizing Daffodils 
When Daffodils are to be naturalized, they should not be 
planted in regulur rows or at even distances apart. The best 
thing is to carry a basket of bulbs over the ground, spilling 
them irregularly and planting the bulbs where they fall. It 
will take several years to achieve the full value of a natur- 
alistic planting, and the Daffodils should be left entirely 
undisturbed during that period. The foliage should never be 
cut off, but allowed to ripen and wither away naturally. 
If the ground is fairly moist and shady, an interplanting 
of Mertensia is extremely effective, and Anchusa myosotidi- 
flora is also a very beautiful plant to combine with natural- 
izing Daffodils. 
Waterer’s Ideal Naturalizing Mixture 
A truly wonderful mixture of fine Daffodils on which we 
have been highly complimented. It consists of many stand- 
ard and new varieties, which could not be included at a lower 
price, and a great range of color and interesting types. Early 
and late varieties together give this mixture a long blooming 
season. Made up of large, firm bulbs. $6.00 per 100; 
$55.00 per 1000; $500.00 per 10,000. 
Waterer’s Regular Naturalizing Mixture 
A very satisfectory mixture. It does not include as many 
interesting and newer varieties as our Ideal Mixture and the 
bulbs are somewhat smaller. However, the results will be 
most gratifying—a very good value. $4.50 per 100; $40.00 
per 1000; $350.00 per 10,000. 
DIVISION XI - Various 
Miniature Daffodils for the Rock Garden 
end Naturalizing 
Most of these are natural species but we have included several 
varieties which are so small as to be out of place in their right 
class, and are more adapted to this use. 
Bulbocodium Conspicuus. (II.) Grows only six inches tall, with 
fine, rushlike foliage and golden yellow, funnel-shaped flowers 
about an inch wide. Flowers very early in the spring and is ideal 
for deep, sheltered pockets in the rock garden. 85c per doz.; 
$6.00 per 100. 
Canaliculatus. (I].) A dainty little Polyanthus Narcissus from 
Mentone, suitable for sunny situations in the rock garden. It has 
narrow, erect, bluish green foliage and bears heads of three to 
four flowers with white perianth and globular golden cup, sweetly 
scented. Height, 6 inches. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Cyclamineus. (1.) A pure yellow species for damp and shady situ- 
ations, and one of the earliest to open. Perianth reflexed like 
the flower of the Cyclamen, with slender trumpet. About 5 
inches tall. $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 
Jonquilla simplex. (III.) (Single Sweet-Scented Jonquil.) Rich 
buttery yellow. Not so large a flower as the others. Fragrant 
and free flowering. $1.15 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 
Juncifolius. (I1l.) The miniature Rush-Leaved Daffodil, a charm- 
ing and elegant species for pots or select spots in the rock gar- 
den. It has small, rich yellow flowers, rather smaller than a 
Jonquil, with a dainty little flattish crown. Height, 3 to 4 inches. 
Delicately fragrant. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Minimus. (1.) The smallest and dwarfest of all Trumpet Narcissi. 
Miniature yellow flower on 3-inch stem. Blooms very early and 
requires a sheltered location. $3.25 per doz.; $22.50 per 100. 
Triandrus Albus. (II1.) (Angel’s Tears.) Creamy white trumpet 
which points down, while the sharply recurved perianth petals 
point upward. Exceedingly dainty and beautiful. Prefers gritty 
soil pease rocks. Height, 6 inches. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 
per 100. 
W. P. Milner. (1.) Miniature sulphury white trumpet and peri- 
anth. Splendid for rockeries or for forcing in small pans. $2.25 
per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
*Those marked with an asterisk (*) we con- 
sider to be the most outstanding varieties in 
their class and, we strongly recommend them.
