Poetaz Narcissi 
Division 8: The hardy bunch-flowered Narcissus is a distinct sec- 
tion produced by crossing N. Tazetta varieties with N. poeticus 
varieties. The flowers are freely produced in pairs and clusters on 
strong stems so that a bed or clump of the plants in bloom shows a 
dense mass of flowers. They force easily and are effective when 
grown in pots or pans. The flowers are nicely perfumed but the 
fragrance is not so oppressive as that of the ordinary polyanthus 
Narcissus. Reliably hardy. 
ADMIRATION. Soft yellow perianth, cup bright orange. Flowers 
are large and showy on tall stems. A choice variety. 3 $.55, 12

at center. Fine for every use. A. M. for garden, Wisely 1935. 6 $.85,

Van Tubergen’s Specially 
Selected Mixtures for 
Naturalizing 
If you have an old orchard or other grassy place where the grass 
need not be mown before the end of June, there is a fine opportunity 
to naturalize Daffodils. The effect of the Daffodil blooms mingling 
among the grass is one that cannot well be described in words. 
The army of graceful flowers nodding and waving in the breeze is 
entrancingly beautiful; and the greater the quantity used, the more 
pleasure derived. 
To encourage the use of Daffodils in this manner, we asked our 
firm to put up some special mixtures of fine quality bulbs that we could 
offer our customers with fullest confidence in their success. Fine also 
for the cutting garden.

incomparabilis, Leedsi poetaz and poeticus). First Size Round Bulbs 
100 $4.50, 500 $19.00.
