NARCISSUS—DAFFODILS 
Narcissus are among the earliest spring-flowermg bulbs and as such are most welcome. Their gay yellow 
and white, and cream and orange blooms seem to be the very essence of the new season. It is well to plant 
them where they will have shrubs or evergreens as a background. Smaller kinds are very effective in the rock 
garden, and for a superb spring picture there is nothing to surpass a large planting of naturalized Narcissus. 
These bulbs are very hardy and may be left in the ground undisturbed for several seasons. They need a 
well-drained location. Plant the bulbs 4 to 5 inches deep, as early as possible in the fall. Smaller and fewer 
flowers after a few years indicate that the bulbs need to be dug up and replanted. 
Group 1 : Trumpet Daffodils 
Trumpet or crown as long or longer than 
the perianth segments. These are the 
giant-flowered varieties with long trumpets 
and wide perianthes of various shades. 
Aerolite. The large flower is beautifully pro- 
portioned, giving the impression of graceful- 
ness, despite its size. Perianth deep primrose, 
with a pure medium-yellow trumpet [eft in 
bold relief by the broad-peinted star, formed 
by the flat opening outer petals, 144 inches 
wide. Medium early but remains until late 
and is one of the longest lasting of all Daffodils. 
6 for 95c; 12 for $1.75; 25 for $3.25. 
Beersheba. The famous white Daffodil. A 
magnificent flower. Large, perfectly flat 
perianth; trumpet long and beautifully flanged 
at mouth. Of great size, measuring nearly 
5 inches across. A vigorous grower. 3 for 
$1.35; 6 for $2.50; 12 for $4.50. 
Diotima. Considered by many experts as the 
very best of the new super-giant yellow trum- 
pets. Despite its huge size (perianth being 
5 to 6 inches across), the whole flower is well 
proportioned and is carried gracefully on flat- 
tened tapering stems 2 feet tall. The broad 
overlapping petals form a star-shaped per- 
ianth of medium deep primrose, trumpet 
somewhat more deeply colored. $1.25 each; 
3 for $3.25.

varieties in existence. The perianth is well

all the trumpets. Medium in height, with a 
starry-shaped perianth of informal type; 
nicely proportioned trumpet of saffron-yellow 
turning to apricot-pink. Very early. 75c each;

THREE clin ale NOVELTIES 
INSURPASSABLE LOVELINESS! 
Insurpassable. Extremely large, yellow 
flower. You will be delighted when you see 
it in your garden. An outstanding novelty; 
early flowering. 3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.25; 
12 for $4.25. 
Mount Hood. Giant-sized flower of purest 
white; Its perfect form makes it one of the 
most admired Daffodils m our garden. 
Rather late flowering. 3 for $1.75; 6 for 
$3.25; 12 for $6.00. 
President Lebrun. The finest bicolor we 
have yet seen. Deep yellow trumpet, 
tinged orange; overlapping pure white 
perianth. Large flowering; of best form 
and substance. 3 for $1.25; 6 for $2.25; 
12 for $4.50. 
Group 2: Incomparabilis Narcissus 
Cup or crown not less than one-third 
but less than equal to the Iength of the 
perianth segments. In these Intermediates 
are to be found some of the most pleasing 
varieties of the entire Narcissus family. 
The trumpets are shorter than in the pre- 
ceding class, being mere cups in many 
cases, and the flowers are not so heavy. 
The rich coloring of the chalice cups against 
the pale perianths is delightfully pictur- 
esque, and whether used as cut flowers or 
Ieft on the plants for the glory of the gar- 
den, these Narcissus will bring the owner 
much pleasure. The following is a top- 
notch list of the newer and better varieties. 
Dick Wellband. One of the finest. A very 
strong grower and exceptionally free-flowering. 
The perianth is pure white and the cup flame- 
orange. One of its most remarkable qualities 
is that the color does not fade but rather 
intensifies with age. The flower lasts un- 
usually long. Its great beauty lies in the 
startling contrast between petals and cup, 
which makes it stand out in the largest col- 
lection of Daffodils. A worthy companion to 
Francisca Drake. 3 for 75c; 6 for $1.25; 
12 for $2.25; 25 for $4.25. 
Duke of Windsor. Broad overlapping perianth, 
large and white; pale yellow cup, which is 
very flaring and short, nicely ruffled. Inside of 
cup shows delicate flaking of broad golden 
band. We consider this one of the best In- 
comparabilis novelties lately introduced. 
Strong-growing variety. 85c each; 3 for $2.25; 
6 for $4.00. 
Everdine. Good stiff white petals; cup short 
and very flaring, nicely ruffled. Clear prim- 
rose-yellow crown. A most distinct novelty.

ing. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 6 for $4.50. 

Fortune. Broad, creamy yellow perianth of 
very solid texture; crown of great size and 
elegant form, opening at mouth and beauti- 
fully frilled, of a glowing soft orange. An early 
Giant Incomparabilis of perfect form. A 
strong grower. 3 for 75c; 6 for $1.25; 12 for 
$2.25; 25 for $4.25. 
Francisca Drake. It is impossible to describe 
adequately the beauty of this unusual flower 
of a distinct new type. The pure white 
perianth petals are of unusual substance,

favorite, outstanding among the Incom-

4 to 5 inches across, with a flat cup neariy 
2 inches in diameter, densely frilled. The 
perianth is pure white, without trace of shad- 
ing, and the cup lemon-yellow, fluted or 
shirred to the base. Good neck; strong grower.

$2.50; 6 for $4.50. 
Rene de Chalons. Strong, clear yellow, broad 
overlapping perianth. The long crown or

novelty which keeps well when cut. Con- 
sidered a better flower than the well-known
