PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DAFFODILS 
The main requirement for success is a well drained soil. 
They are not happy in a wet spot where water will stand. 
Any good garden soil is ideal. Cow manure mixed in the soil 
at, or preferably before planting time, is ideal and will pro- 
duce blooms and bulbs of unbelievable size. Bone meal is 
the only safe substitute to use at planting time. A top dres- 
sing of stable manure is always helpful during the winter 
months, serving also as a mulch. In the Middle Atlantic 
states plant bulbs deep enough so the neck of the bulb is 
covered with 3 or 4 inches of earth after the ground has 
settled. In the more Northern states 4 or 5 inches is de- — 
sirable, while in the Southern states 2 or 3 inches is suf- 
ficient. Early planting is advisable so that the root system 
can develop before cold weather sets in. All questions per- | 
taining to daffodils cheerfully answered. ea 
ITEMS OF INTEREST 
For the edification of Daffodil enthusiasts we give be- © 
low the principal changes under the new revised system — 
for the classification of Daffodils, effective January 1, 
1950. : : 
DIVISION I. Bicolor Trumpets are moved up to Sub 
Division “b’, white trumpets move down to Sub Division 
“c”, and a new Sub Division ‘‘d” is added. 
DIVISION II. Two new Sub Divisions “‘c” reyes “qd are 
added. 
‘ DIVISION III. Two new sub divisions “g” as “d’? are 
added. 
DIVISION IV. The double varieties replace the LEED- .- 
SII types which formerly occupied this Division. The 
Leedsii are transferred to Divisions 2 and 3, 
DIVISIONS V through IX remain virtually un- 
changed, only a few Sub Divisions are added. 
DIVISION X. All wild forms hitherto included in 
various other Divisions are transferred to this pee 
Division.” 
DIVISION XI is to take care of any varieties not cov- 
ered in the preceding Divisions. " 
As a reference and convenience to the many people 
who loved the LEEDSII as a class, we are listing below 
those that we grow. The only ones that will retain their 
identy are those with white cups; they go into the newly 
created Sub Divisions “c” in Divisions 2 and 3. While those 
with yellow cups are put in with all the other 2 or 3 “b’s. 
psp as a convenience we list our PINKS and “so called” 
pinks.
