LEEDSIL NARCISSUS 
These are the Star Narcissus. Perianths 
are white, and cups or crowns white, cream 
or pale citron, sometimes tinged with pink 
or apricot. They are very dainty, have re- 
markable substance and are splendid keep- 
ers. I consider Silver Star the best of the 
large cupped in the lower priced ones and 
Mrs. Nette O’Melveny in the short cupped. 
BETSY PENN. (4) A giant of most lovely 
form and perfect texture. Broad over- 
lapping pure white perianth of wax-like 
substance, crown light yellow, develop- 
ing to ivory, shallow and fluted at mar- 
gin. A fine tall garden plant of unusual 
merit. Each $2.25; 3 for $6.00. 
BLIZZARD. (3) Big white wavy perianth; 
large broadly flanged or widely reflexed 
trumpet-crown of lemon _ passing to 
cream. Hach 75c; 3 for $2.00; doz. $7.50. 
DAISY SCHAFFER. (3) One of the most 
outstanding of the new Giant Leedsii 
type, the flower 4% inches across, with 
cup nearly 2 inches, resembles a Giant 
Trumpet, but much more graceful in 
form; perianth pure white with cup 
opening primrose and turning to light 
canary-yellow. Long lemon-yellow 
stigma and styles add to the color har- 
mony of this remarkable flower; a leader 
_for years to come. Awarded a Gold Medal 
at the ‘‘Flora’’ International Exhibition, 
Haarlem, Holland; 1935; many other 
awards. Hach $2.00; for $5.50. 
ETTRICK. (4) Large flower of smooth 
waxy texture and splendid form, large, 
flat, white perianth with well propor- 
tioned pale primrose cup. Each 75¢; 3

FAIRY CIRCLE. (3) A most beautiful and 
dainty variety of the small crowned 
Leedsii; flat circular and overlapping

apple-green base, margined with a 
clearly defined pink rim. Each $1.00; 
3 for $2.75; doz. $10.00. 
GERTIE MILLAR. (3) Wonderful flower 
of the new Giant Leedsi type with pure 
white perianth of enormous size; the 
beautiful cup is pale primrose, deeply 
fluted and frilled and of translucent tex- 
ture; unusually long pistils and anthers 
match these colors perfectly. Hach 60c; 
3 for $1.65; doz. $6.00. 
GREEN MANTLE. (5) Snow white peri- 
anth, overlapping and somewhat re- 
flexed. The short cup is creamy-white

vellowish apple-green, the green running 
into the perianth. Each 25c; 3 for 70c;

ing of light primrose. Very chaste in ap- 
pearance and a great favorite. 3 for 40c; 
doz. $1.50. 
HEXAGON. (3) Very large wide-spread 
pure white perianth of great breadth. 
Firm and flat and of good substance. The 
beautifully proportioned, not too long a 
crown, opens faint citron or cream and 
soon passes to white. The 6 divisions of 
the perianth segments can be clearly 
traced down the perianth tube inside the 
crown, giving it a beautiful hexagonal 
form; vigorous grower. Each $3.50.
