season. A tall stemmed white and lemon double with 
sometimes a few greenish petals. 35c¢ each. 
LYNDALE GOLD (Brown) 1a, 20 in. Midseason. A very 
good yellow trumpet of smooth finish, good form and quite 
good! size. Not a golden yellow but a very pretty shade 
of clear lemon. $1.00 each. 
LYNDALE STAR (Brown) 2a, 22 in. Midseason. Some- 
what like the above but with a crown rather than a 
trumpet and of clear primrose yellow. 
pretty flower. $1.00 each.

deep golden yellow trumpet which is very wide from the 
mouth to the base. Large bright yellow perianth. Quite 
spectacular. 75c each.

It’s raining Daffodils; 
In every dimpled drop I see 
Wild flowers on distant hills.

And all the Daffodils 
Are blowing.

Oh, hush, my heart, and take thine ease, 
For here is April weather! 
The Daffodils beneath the trees

MAGNIFICENCE (Engleheart) la, 17 in. Early. This and 
Goldbeater are usually the first two trumpet varieties to 
open here other than the small Golden Spur and some of 
the species. Quite large but not as smooth as the later 
blooming trumpets. 60c each. 
MALVERN GOLD (Brown) Za, 24 in. Early. This is perhaps 
the most attractive of any of the large flowered very early 
kinds in my planting. Rich golden yellow flowers with 
large flat perianths and short well expanded crowns. A 
very nice cut flower usually coming about ten days before 
King Alfred. This should be a most popular commercial 
variety when stock becomes generally available. $2.00 
each. 
MARCH SUNSHINE (de Graaff) 6, Early. One of the com- 
paratively few cyclamineus hybrids and I think one of 
the most attractive. The medium sized flowers of rich 
yellow coloring and attractive form open at about the 
same time or a little before the first large yellow trum- 
pets. 60c each. 
MARGARET FELL (West & Fell) 2b, 20 in. Late midseason. 
A beautiful flower with large broad perianth of white and 
a yellow saucer shaped crown banded rich orange red. 
A very fine addition to its class. $3.00 each. 
MARKET MERRY (Brodie) 3a, 19 in. Midseason. A very 
rich deep buff yellow or old gold broad overlapping 
perianth of large size, and a brilliant deep red cup char- 
acterize this fine flower. One of the finest in its class 
and of much value for hybridizing. $5.50 each. 
MARMORA (Brodie) 4a, 22 in. Early midseason. Very 
refined flower with pure white broad petals and a medium 
sized lemon cup which passes to almost pure white as 
the flower ages. Very tall strong stems and a vigorous 
grower. 40c each. 
MARY LONGSTREET (Mrs. Backhouse) 2b, 20 in. Mid- 
season. A cream perianth of good form, quite well over- 
lapping sets off the large brilliant orange cup. At its 
best, a very striking flower. 62.50 each. 
MATAPAN (Richardson) 8b, Midseason. Valuable both for 
its unusual beauty and for the fact that it is earlier than 
nearly all other flowers of its type. Extremely broad pure 
white petals makes a very rounded flower, and the rather 
small brilliant fiery red cup makes for a very beautiful 
contrasty bloom. Apparently not too vigorous. None to 
spare this year. 
MEDUSA (P. D. Williams) 8. Two or three white flowers 
with orange cups borne on each stem. 40c each, 
MELVA FELL (West & Fell) 2b, 22 in. Midseason. YWery 
beautiful large white flower with a well proportioned 
yellow cup banded with red. Somewhat similar to Jean 
Hood but more refined and beautiful in form although 
not quite as tall nor early. $4.50 each.
