Though everyone can not perhaps manage ‘’a host of golden 
daffodils, beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and 
dancing in the breeze,’’ the same general effect can be ob- 
tained even in a small garden. Groups of six, or twelve, or 
even by threes, planted informally (not in rows) in the shade 
of a deciduous tree, or at the edge of an ever-green, or in 
front of shrubbery even, or an iris border will produce a very 
happy effect. 
Our list is small, and contains only those that we have tried 
_ for a number of years and found to thrive under the same 
somewhat casual care we give our iris. 
We hope that more and more people will join us trying a 
few new varieties of these beautiful flowers each year for that 
stable joy found only in flowers. 
Daffodils 
PRES. ROOSEVELT—On the cloudy day that Pres. Franklin 
Delano Roosevelt died, our most unusual colored seedling to 
date opened. We hesitated about introducing it under the 
name that immediately occurred as appropriate, because it 
was a sort of pink, which might be the dream of satirists, but 
does not represent our estimate of Roosevelt. Also according 
to iris standards, the somewhat velvety rose falls shading to a 
brown-orange smudge at the haft, are, like so many pinks, 
prone to fade at the edge under bright sunlight. The standards 
are slightly ruffled anda real pale pink. But the coloring has 
been so much admired, and the stem even better the second 
year than the first, 38’ and well branched, that here it is. 
The parentage is Rancho on Samoset. $10.00 
CANDLE WHITE—The most heavily substanced white we have 
ever seen, and one of the largest flowered. Very early bloom- 
ing, coming at the same time or earlier than one of its parents, 
Easter Morn. In Southern California it has a second fall 
bloom. The falls are broad and flaring and waxy and heavy, 
smudged at the haft with yellow. The standards are larger 
and of heavier substance than Easter Morn. The stem is 36”.
