DIOTIMA 
LARGE TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
This group of daffodils is undoubtedly the most popular in gardens 
everywhere. King Alfred is perhaps best known, giving excellent results. 
However, there are also many others of equal merit which should be 
included in the planting. Using several kinds of superior quality will 
provide interesting variation as well as an abundance of flowers for 
cutting over a long season. 
Our bulbs are the largest size in each variety to give more flowers and 
better quality. A comparison of other bulbs with Hallawell’s will be 
convincing.

DIOTIMA — This is the largest 
trumpet daffodil and in spite of 
its large size it is beautifully pro- 
portioned and is carried grace- 
fully on its very long stem. The 
perianth is primrose yellow, the 
trumpet slightly deeper. When 
properly grown in good garden 
soil you may expect stems up to 
24 inches and flowers larger than 
any other daffodil.

GROW BULBS IN POTS WITH 
HALLAWELL’S BULB FIBER 
Anyone can grow bulbs in pots with excellent results. 
We grow them every year for demonstration purposes, 
especially Narcissi, Hyacinths. Crocus, Freesias, Spa- 
raxis, Muscari, etc. Of the larger bulbs such as Narcissi, 
plant 4 or 5 in a 6- or 7-inch pot. Of the smaller bulbs 
put many in a pot, plant them close together and about 
1 inch deep. Moisten the bulb fiber before planting 
and keep it moist after. 
In our San Francisco climate, best results are obtained 
by setting the pot or bowl of bulbs out in the garden 
where it will be in bright daylight and cool. Leave it 
there until the first buds appear ready to open, then 
take it into the house. In more severe climates it may 
be too cold to leave them in the garden but we think 
it is important to keep them cold if they are stored 
indoors. 
Bulb fiber may also be used for planting in bowls with- 
out drainage and it contains all the necessary plant 
food. 
1% pounds of Bulb Fiber will fill a 7-inch pot. You may 
use it again by adding fertilizer.
