Che Poet's Narcissus 
POETICUS 
Division 9—The true poet’s narcissus. 
The perianth is pure waxy white. The 
small cup or eye is yellow bordered red 
or is all red. 
These varieties like a deep moist soil and 
wil! tolerate considerable shade. Plant as 
early in the fall as possible and do not 
reset except when necessary to avoid 
crowding. 
ACTAEA. Frequently called the largest 
Poeticus variety. It is indeed a beautiful 
flower with its broad pure white peri- 
anth of heavy substance and flat eye of 
yellow brightly bordered with dark red. 
With its large flowers and tall stems it 
makes a very beautiful cut flower. 3 for 
40c, 12 for $1.50, 100 for $11.00. 
GLORY OF LISSE. Like the old fashioned 
Poeticus Ornatus but stronger growing 
and better. The perianth is, of course, 
purest white. The small cup is yellow 
brightly edged with red. True poet’s nar- 
cissus fragrance. An excellent variety for 
naturalizing. 3 for 35c, 12 for $1.20, 100 
for $9.00. 
RECURVUS. The old-fashioned Pheasant’s 
Eye. A fine old narcissus that blooms at 
the end of the season. The white petals 
retlex from the yellow cup which is bor- 
dered with bright orange-red. One of the 
best for naturalizing. 3 for 40c, 12 for 
$1.40, 100 for $10.50. 

THALIA 
TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS 
Division 5—All varieties which are ob- 
viously derived from N. Triandrus. Of 
very graceful habit with flowers that are , 
more or less drooping. 
PEARLY QUEEN. Each stem bears two 
or three flowers with star-shaped creamy 
white perianth and short smooth 
trumpet of lemon yellow. The dis- 
tinct pearly sheen provides the 
name. The drooping flower clusters 
are freely produced. The attractive 
blossoms are delightful in flower 
arrangements. 3 for 50c, 12 for $1.80. 
SHOT SILK. A charming triandrus hybrid 
of the Thalia type bearing three flowers 
of soft pure white in a graceful cluster. 
Somewhat star-shaped petals, long nar- 
row cup. Probably the highest in quality 
of any of the little daffodils. Each 35c, 
3 for $1.00, 12 for $3.50. 
SILVER CHIMES. One of the loveliest 
things in our whole catalog and quite a 
favorite with us and with people who visit 
our plantings. The clusters usually have 
six or seven florets with pure white peri- 
anths and firm cups that open pale prim- 
rose and become ivory as they develop. 
It makes a vigorous plant with tall stems 
and attractive foliage. Usually consid- 
ered as not being very hardy but it was 
unharmed this winter by six weeks of cold 
weather with temperatures down to 
nearly zero. Each $1.00, 3 for $2.75, 12 
for $10.00. 
THALIA. The picture below gives only an 
inkling of the exquisite beauty of this 
lovely variety. The flowers are of the pur- 
est white usually arranged in a cluster of 
three. The bulbs are easy to grow and 
produce freely of these enchanting flow- 
ers so desirable for arrangements or cor- 
sages. Each 25c, 3 for 70c, 12 for $2.50.
