—Naroissi OU Daffodils 
VARIETIES OLD AND NEW 
S WITH Tulip listings, the Daffodil reveals the return of all the old favorites, among which are such friends as Beersheba, 
Fortune, King Alfred, Tunis, and the pink beauty which never fails to elicit admiration, Mrs. R. O. Backhouse. Formerly this 
was thought to be a rich man’s flower, but with the reduction in price, it is now within the reach of every garden lover. This 
is good news, too, for could any sight be more captivating than a grouping of the soft pink blossoms with an overhanging lacy 
canopy of pink Dogwood and a ground cover of Muscari? As a matter of fact, this blending and contrasting of garden mate- 
rials is equally fascinating for those proficient in horticulture and for those who are only beginners. 
DAFFODIL SHOWS 
URING the past few years, the Daffodil shows which have been so popular with amateurs have become just as popular with 
professionals, so that both classes of exhibitors will be particularly interested in the new varieties which are really collec- 
tors’ items. Many of them were developed and shown at flower shows quietly held among the Hollanders during the war, there- 
by proving that nothing could prevent these determined flower lovers from selecting a limited number of the most meritorious 
seedlings of distinctive characteristics to pass on to exhibitors in other lands. Fortunately, these exhibition novelites that were 
higher priced last year are so invitingly reduced that it is now possible to plan larger beds or groupings. 
QUALITY AND PRICE 
FE ARE not only proud to list many of these outstanding varieties as exclusive with us, but also to reveal that their price 
range is amazingly modest. All varieties, old and new, are lovely, so precisely poised on firm stems, ranging from the 
miniatures that nestle in the recesses of a rockery to the sturdy specimens that can endure the sweep of chill winds on unpro- 
tected lawns. 
Whatever the location, Daffodils should be planted for their heartening effect of gay coloring while Nature and its surround- 
ings are in the brown state preceding the spring’s full awakening. When your selection is made, you have our assurance as to 
quality and price. Indeed, all our bulbs are in first class condition, because we have no other grade but the cream of the crop. 
Incidentally, a card to us will bring a solution without cost to any of your garden problems or our traveling representative will 
call when in your neighborhood. 
It must be recalled, however, that the future of these products cannot be foretold, and you are urged to take immediate advan- 
tage of this opportunity, particularly noting our newer varieties which are really glamorous.
