Che Exquisite WHITE AND 

MRS. E. H. KRELAGE 
TRUMPET DAFFODILS — WHITE 
Division 1-B. Large trumpet varieties with white perianths 
and white or nearly white trumpets. 
There is not a great amount of difference between some vari- 
eties of this class and some of the giant Leeds‘is. The trumpets 
of many of the latter are as large as ‘‘white trumpets”’ but usually 
they are more flaring and frilled. 
BEERSHEBA. Now that this variety is down in the medium 
price class we hope that you will plant it freely. Unquestionably 
it is one of the loveliest daffodils grown. The whole flower is pure 
white of a splendid parchment-like texture. The trumpet is long 
and narrow, backed by a fine overlapping flat perianth. The 
flowers come early in the season and last surprisingly well. The 
plant is vigorous in growth and free flowering. Each 50c, 
3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.00, 100 for $37.50. 

HINTS ON GROWING DAFFODILS 
Like all other bulbs, narc’ssi-daffodils repay us for giving them 
the proper care by producing more and better flowers. Start with 
good bulbs; this almost guarantees flowers for the first year. See 
that the soil is well prepared. This means deep digging and plenty 
of plant food, especially phosphates and potash. Harly planting 
is advisable. September is the best month for most parts of the 
country. Cover the tops of the bulbs about 4 inches, and in cold 
climates mulch well after the ground has frozen. It is a mistake 
to leave the bulbs too many years without resetting them. They 
become crowded and fail to bloom. About every third year, dig 
the bulbs when the tops have ripened. Store in a cool, airy place 
and reset in the fall. Never move the bulbs before or during 
blooming time as it will injure their growth very severely. 
WHITE TRUMPETS 
CHINA CLAY. Built on the Beersheba pattern and having 
the same glistening pure whiteness, China Clay is €ven more 
charming than that variety and not quite as large. The perianth 
is star-shaped and the trumpet is unusually large and narrow. 
An exquisite cut flower. Each $3.00, 3 for $8.50, 12 for $30.60. 
ESKIMO. A beautiful exhibition flower of fine texture and 
form. The wide trumpet is pale primrose on first opening, the 
whole flower soon passing to an intensely pure white. A vigor- 
ous grower, flowering profusely, a beautiful garden plant. Each 
$2.75, 3 for $7.50. 
LA VESTALE. An excellent early variety which, like Mrs. E. 
H. Krelage, opens with a creamy-yellow trumpet changing to 
waxy white with age. The large, beautifully formed flowers last 
very well. Each 45c, 3 for $1.25, 12 for $4.50. 
MRS. HE. H. KRELAGE. Sometimes called “the white King 
Alfred’. The blossom opens as a light colored bi-color but later 
becomes a uniform ivory white of waxy texture. Especially at our 
new low price it is well worth growing. 3 for 70c, 12 for $2.50, 100 
for $18.75. 
PINK DAFFODILS 
MRS. R. 0. BACKHOUSE. This is the ‘‘Pink Daffodil’, and 
with us here in the Northwest it certanly is pink. When the 
flower opens the trumpet is amber in tone but the yellow soor 
disappears leaving a beautiful clear shell pink coloration. While 
the flower has a delicate appearance it really is long lasting and 
makes a delightful cut flower. Each %5e, 3 for $2.00, 12. for $7.50. 
ROSABELLA. A very attractive novelty. The color of the 
trumpet is a lovely shade of apricot-pink. In shape it is some- 
what flar‘ng and nicely frilled at the brim. The creamy perianth 
has a pleasingly informal appearance. Each $6.50, 3 for $17.85.
