Poetaz Narcissus, Elvira 
ie @Norcish 
Division 8: All Poetaz are hybrids from Poeticus Ornatus and Polyanthus 
Narcissi. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, bearing heads of large, 
well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant. There is no better group for in- 
door culture in flats, pots or bowls, while if planted in time, their hardi- 
ness outdoors leaves nothing to be desired. 
Admiration Three 70c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.00 
This beautiful cluster-flowered Daffodil is especially lovely in full sun- 
light, as it has a transparent character, but the flowers viewed in shade 
do not look poor or papery. The periarith, which is a sulphur-yellow, 
seems rather to be of the quality of the soft taffeta silk which, in the 
old days, was known as “’sarsenet,’’ and the petals are slightly ridged 
lengthwise. The corona is of rich orange-scarlet and there are usually 
about 6 flowers to a stalk. 
Cheerfulness Three 50c, Doz. $1.65, 100 $10.75 
The double Elvira, a very pleasing double white Poetaz, good stems, a 
fine garden and show flower. 
Elvira Three 45c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
Three to four large flowers of great substance, borne on long, grace- 
ful stem; broad white petals and a golden yellow cup, edged orange; 
delicately fragrant. Makes a splendid combination in the garden when 
planted among the earliest Darwin Tulips or massed on a bank with 
Tulipa Clusiana. 
Glorious Each 40c, Three $1.10, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Tall, flower delightfully informal in habit, perianth Poeticus-white with 
eye orange, edged red; good for semi-shade; very early and excellent 
variety for growing in the house. 
Klondyke Three 45c, Doz. $1.60, 100 $10.50 
One of the finest of the yellow Poetaz. Perianth is of rich yellow with 
a slightly darker cup. 
Laurens Koster Three 45c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
Creamy white perianth, lemon-yellow cup, free flowering. Excellent for 
growing in the house. (Color illustration, page 9.) 
Orange Cup Three 55c, Doz. $1.75, 100 $11.25 
Creamy white, conspicuous orange cup, a most delightful color com- 
bination of plastic rubies floating on sulphur pools, 6 to 8 florets and 
usually two stems per bulb. Keeps its color in bright sunlight positions. 
Scarlet Gem Each 70c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $17.00 
Here is a very artistic contrast in color. The attractive, finely formed 
flower has a perianth of primrose-yellow with a deep orange cup. A most 
interesting Poetaz.
