Naroissi or Daffodils 
CORRECT DAFFODIL NOMENCLATURE 
Many of our gardening friends are under the impression that all yellow varieties are known 
as “Daffodils or Jonquils” and the white varieties as “Narcissus.” 
They are all correctly ex- 
pressed by the botanical term of “Narcissus” or the English common name of “Daffodil.” How- 
ever, the term of “Jonquil” applied to any but the true Jonquil type, listed under Division VII, 
is a misnomer. 
DIVISION 1 - TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet (or crown) as long as, or longer than, the perianth segments (petals) 
(Divided into three classes)

AEROLITE. A golden Daffodil that will replace many 
older varieties. The large flower is beautifully propor- 
tioned with a deep primrose perianth and a pure me- 
dium yellow trumpet. A long lasting Daffodil either in 
the garden or after being cut. Highly recommended for 
naturalizing. $2.15 for 10; $19.00 per 100. See illus- 
tration, page 38.

anth of smooth substance with well-formed trumpet of 
purest golden yellow. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See

DIOTIMA. Considered one of the finest of the new super- 
giant yellow Trumpets. The perianth measures 5 to 6 
inches across. Despite its great size, the whole flower is 
beautifully proportioned and is carried gracefully on 
flattened tapering stems, 2 feet tall, entirely free from 
the Amaryllis-like stiffness of many of the giant Trum- 
pets. The broad overlapping petals form a star-shaped 


perianth of deep primrose, the trumpet is of a somewhat 
deeper color. $4.25 for 10; $40.00 per 100. 
EMPEROR. An old variety, though still deserving a place 
in every garden. Rich, full yellow trumpet with a deep 
primrose perianth. Splendid for permanent mass planting 
and naturalizing. $1.55 for 10; $13.00 per 100.
