Daffootls Grow Casily 
Daffodils announce the arrival of springtime and reward you richly. They 
grow with little attention and provide quantities of cut flowers. These gay 
flowers endure unseasonable cold weather without damage. They never dis- 
appoint you. They grow so easily that children plant them. They multiply 
rapidly if good, sound bulbs are used and your dividends of beauty are doubled 
each year. They harmonize beautifully with other flowers. No garden is too 
modest for an abundance of them. 
An outstanding and appealing group is the Incomparabilis, of which we offer 
more than a score. The white and yellow Trumpets, the Barri and Leedsi shown 
below, are highly praised and include splendid varieties of recent development. 
cllow Trumpet Daffodils 
Division la: Trumpet as long or longer than perianth segments, trumpet 
lemony, yellow or sulphur colored, with perianth of same shade but not of 
white. 
Aerolite Six $1.55, Doz. $2.75, 25 $4.85, 100 $17.75 
The large flower is beautifully proportioned, giving the impression of 
gracefulness, despite its size; perianth deep primrose, with a medium 
yellow trumpet which is left in bold relief by the broad pointed star 
formed by the opening outer petals, an inch and a half wide; medium 
early, but remains until late, and is one of the longest lasting of all 
Daffodils in the garden or after being cut. 
Alaska Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.60, 100 $21.00 
Giant flower of deepest gold; more graceful than most of the giant Ajax 
varieties as the trumpet is deeply frilled and recurved. 
Alasnam Six $1.50, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00 
Wide, short, densely frilled trumpet of pure deep yellow, a shade deeper 
than the perianth; finely placed with good neck; flower “looks you in 
the eye’; excellent for landscape groups, also for forcing; very early, 
possibly the first of the trumpet varieties to bloom. 
Dawson City Six $1.55, Doz. $2.75, 25 $4.85, 100 $17.75 
Much overlapping and flat perianth with a very smooth trumpet, nicely 
flanged at the mouth. This perfect flower is golden yellow throughout. 
Great favorite in England. 
Diotima Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75, 25 $10.75, 100 $40.00 
Considered by experts as the very best of the new super-giant yellow 
trumpets; despite its huge size (perianth being five to six inches across) 
the whole flower is beautifully proportioned and is carried gracefully 
on two-foot tall stem, entirely free from stiffness of many of the giant 
trumpets; the broad overlapping petals form a star-shaped perianth of 
medium deep primrose, trumpet somewhat more deeply colored; un- 
doubtedly one of the top-notchers for many years to come. 
Emperor Six $1.50, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.50, 100 $16.00 
Perianth primrose, trumpet darker, a forcing and bedding flower of 
proven merit. Still a fine old variety. 
King Alfred 
Top Size Round Bulbs Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 100 $15.00 
Mammoth Double Nose Bulbs Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
A king among the fine varieties. Rich, lustrous golden yellow through- 
out. Extremely vigorous in habit. Perianth often 4 inches across, trum- 
pet fully 2 inches. Most popular variety for forcing. 
Lord Wellington Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 25 $7.00, 100 $25.00 
One of the laraest yellow Trumpets of unusually strong texture and 
lasting remarkably long in condition, perianth slightly reflexing, trum- 
pet long, rich golden yellow. It is our opinion this is one of the finest 
of the yellow Trumpet Daffodils. 
Mount Royal Each 65c, Six $3.50, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00, 100 $45.00 
Wide spreading trumpet with perianth having three base petals extra 
wide, the three inner being narrower and more curved, making a partic- 
ularly well-formed attractive flower. 
Stadendam Each 55c, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.50, 25 $10.25, 100 $37.50 
An extremely large golden yellow Trumpet Daffodil of superb yet grace- 
ful proportions. Massive overlapping deep golden yellow perianth, large, 
flaring, well-formed trumpet. Vigorous grower suitable for exhibition. 
Warwick Six $1.75, Doz. $3.00, 25 $5.60, 100 $21.00 
Another of the striking new King Alfred seedlinas outstanding in every 
wav and very early; refined stem and neck bearing a star-shaped peri- 
anth of great substance; golden yellow, with trumpet a shade deeper 
in color. 
Winter Gold Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 25 $7.00, 100 $25.00 
Very early, of great garden merit, producing flowers of very elegant 
form in February in mild territories. Perianth bright yellow, trumpet 
long and straight, of a deep golden yellow, prettily frited at mouth. 
Very showy. Height 18 inches. 
Youth Six $1.55, Doz. $2.75, 25 $5.35, 100 $19.00 
A superb flower of very good form and invaiuable for exhibition. The 
perianth is flat and overlapping with long trumpet beautifully propor- 
tioned. A clear shade of pale lemon-yellow throughout. Outstanding.
