without this old favorite and it is the one to buy in quantity or if one must plant only 
one sort. It is the standard by which Daffodils are evaluated. Pure, deepest gold, 
beautiful and graceful in form. Small bulbs, most of which will flower under proper 
- culture (but they are not so likely to flower unless you do give proper culture) 10c ea. 
6 for 50c or 75c per doz. Good blooming size, round bulbs, 15c ea., $1.50 per doz. 
Per 100, $8.00 by express, f.0.b.—Largest size, round bulbs, really jumbos 25c ea. 
6 for $1.25. $2.25 per doz. Per 100, $15.00 by express, f.o.b. The largest size gives 
several flowers per bulb, the blooming size usually about two and the small bulbs, one 
smaller flower. But small bulbs become large in one year. 
Mrs. R. O. Backhouse. The best of the famous Pink Daffodils, much more pink 
than the Lovenest. The perianth is white and the long trumpet is a rich apricot pink, 
changing to shell pink at the deeply fringed edge. The possession of even one will 
excite interest in your daffodil collection. $1.25 ea. 6 for $6.50 or $12.00 per doz. 
Smaller bulbs are sold by some dealers for less. 
Winter Gold. Perianth bright yellow. The long frilled trumpet is deep golden 
yellow. This daffodil produces elegant flowers in Feb. as early as the rather insignificant 
“Golden Spur” and in addition Winter Gold is a very showy, 18” flower. Forces easily 
in pots for mid-winter bloom. 25c ea. $2.50 per doz. 
Leedsi Daffodils. The above are all Long Trumpet Daffodils. The Leedsi have a 
smaller and shorter trumpet but are very fine daffodils. We offer Leedsi, “Crystal 
Queen,” pure white perianth with primrose trumpet that soon fades to white, giving 
the effect of a pure white daffodil. These are mixed with a yellow daffodil, probably 
Incomparabilis Helios. You might get all Helios or all Crystal Queen. Either sort is 
worth more. 15c ea. 6 for 60c. $1.00 per doz. 
Nerine. This genus is seldom seen in America, altho it is one of the most beautiful 
and varied of the Amaryllids. They bloom in succession from Aug. 1 thru Jan. They 
are hardy only in the south where temperatures seldom go under 26°. But they are 
one of the finest pot bulbs. Culture: Pot or plant in mildly acid to neutral soil. Sandy 
soils are more likely to be acid and drainage is better. Use peat or leaf mould to bring 
soil to pH 6.5 or 7. Alkaline soil is the most frequent cause of failure. Pot bulbs at 
once with bulb well covered and 2” to 4” deep in gardens. Full sun. When foliage 
yellows withhold water but be sure they have made a vigorous growth. 
Nerine Bowdenii. 10 or more rose pink flowers in an umbel 9” wide on a 15” 
scape. The finest of all and of easy culture. Delivery Jan. to July, sometimes later. 
$1.00 and $1.50 ea. Budded (usually in Dec.) $2.00 ea. 
N. Bowdenii, Pink Beauty. Larger and finer. Late spring delivery. $5.00 ea. 
Budded (usually Jan.) $6.00 ea. | 
N. filifolia. Lovely small Nerine with evergreen thread like foliage. Carmine pink 
flowers on 12” stem. A dozen bulbs may go into a 6” pot. Bloom in Sept. Delivery, 
any time. 15c ea. $1.00 doz. If ordered after Sept. 15, you may get no flowers the 
first year. 
N. massonorum. Earliest, often mid-July. Foliage like N. filifolia. Flowers resemble 
it but smaller, on a shorter scape. Very long spathe. Delivery any time. 5(0c ea. 
N. species unknown. This is either undulata or erubescens, which are very similar, 
Flowers similar to Filifolia but larger and on a 15” to 18” scape. Fine for cutting.

Sprekelia formosissima superba. We found this variety (described and named by 
Hayward in 1938 Herbertia) in an old California Garden. The flowers are about twice 
as large as the common type, a lighter and more pleasing red color. The foliage is 
evergreen and the flowers are freely produced at intervals thruout the year. We call this 
the Orchid Amaryllis because of the orchid-like shape. Jumbo bulbs, 75c ea. M. 5(0c ea. 
Tulbaghia violacea. A close relative of Agapanthus, but small enough to plant 3 in 
a 5” pot. Flowers are mauve to Chinese violet in an umbel on 24” stems. Begins as soon 
as established and blooms almost continuously thru the year—winter and summer. 
Foliage has garlic odor when bruised. 35c ea. 3 for $1.00.
