DAFFODILS 
1945 Special Daffodil Collection 
DIOTIMA 
A clear primrose large-trumpet flower which has a spread of 
5 to 6 inches. Notwithstanding its large size it is well proportioned 
and carried gracefully on long stems. 

MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE 
A very choice variety. It is the famou3 “pink daffodil”. The 
trumpet is long, frilled, and rather slender, and is apricot pink. 
In addition to all of these charms it has long lasting qualities. 
EDWINA 
A large, flat, broad-petaled perianth which is snow white, has 
in its center a small yellow cup with bright red edging. A very 
striking and beautiful ‘’Poeticus”’. 
GERTIE MILLAR 
You will like this daffodil for the delicacy of its coloring and 
the perfection of its molding. The large, fluted trumpet is pale 
primrose and because of its texture light filters through and gives 
it life. Back of this beautifn] trumpet is a spotless white perianth. 
DICK WELLBAND 
Unlike some of the delicately shaded daffodils this is a stunning 
affair in sharp contrasts. The perianth is white, the cup is not 
long but is widely flaring and of flaming orange. Unlike the color 
changes in the trumpets of many daffodils the color intensifies as 
the flower ages. 
FLEUR 
A broad widely flaring shallow cup, set in a saucer of pure 
white. The bottom of the cup is citron yellow which deepens to 
bright orange at its frilled edges. 
MRS. E. H. KRELAGE 
One of the long trumpets which, as it opens, is a pale yellow 
bicolor which changes later to ivory white. It will flash upon that 
“inward eye’ which Wordsworth wrote about.

PLANTING AND CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
Daffodils grow readily in most any soil but they need good 
drainage. Fertilizer can be worked into the soil below the depth 
of the bulb but no fresh manures should contact the bulbs. In 
medium soils have the top of the bulb twice the length of the bulb 
below the surface. In lighter soils set a little deeper. They flourish 
in sun or partial shade,
