To avoid a lot of confusion for those who are not familiar with botanical names, we list 
our Narcissi under the heading of DAFFODILS. 
They include long, medium, and short trumpet types, as well as the charming Poeticus 
or Poet's Narcissi, and are listed in alphabetical order for convenience. Varieties offered 
include the better ones of each class which are available at moderate prices. 
CULTURE —In preparing the soil for daf- 
fodils mix in 3 or 4 Ibs. of bone meal to 
100 sq. ft. Set the bulbs 6 inches apart 
each way and 5 to 7 inches deep. Many 
California gardeners leave them in the 
ground year after year and plant on top 
of them, but do not remove the foliage. 
It must be left to die down naturally. 

ACTAEA—One of the lovely Poet’s Nar- 
cissi with pure white petals and an at- 
tractive reddish eye or cup in the center. 
Actaea is always a favorite at our annual 
daffodil show in April. 
3 for 65e; 12 for $2.00; 100 for $15.00 
BEERSHEBA—One of the choicest of the 
white trumpet class. The flowers are 
large, perianth is pure white, and the 
trumpet is ivory. We have had stems 20 
inches long. 
Each 70c; 12 for $7.00; 100 for $50.00 
CHEERFULNESS— A 
sus, bearing clusters of 8 or 4 double 
creamy white flowers with a shading 
of yellow at the base of the petals. An 
excellent cut flower and ideal for grow- 
ing in pots. 
3 for \65c¢; 
charming narcis- 
12 for $1.75 100 for $12.50

vellow, the broad fluted cup is rich or- 
ange, a striking contrast in color and a 
very desirable variety. 
3 for 65c, 12 for $2.00, 100 for $15.00 
DAISY SCHAFFER—A prize winner in its 
class and one of the finest of the extraor- 
dinary Leedsi type which is noted for 
grace and beauty. The perianth is white, 
the cup opens primrose, later turning to 
canary and deepening at the base. A 
grand flower.

DICK WELLBAND — Broad glistening 
white perianth with a long cup of flame- 
orange, which intensifies as the flower 
ages. It is one of the finest daffodils; 
good stem, good keeper and a fine cut 
flower. We now have a considerable in- 
crease in stock and have again lowered 
the price, so get your start now. 
3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.50; 100 for $25.00

DIOTIMA — This is the largest trumpet 
daffodil and in spite of its large size it 
is beautifully proportioned and carries 
gracefully 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. 
Bach 90c, 12 for $9.00, 100 for $65.00 
FORTUNE—One of the finest new daffo- 
dils of recent introduction. The clear 
deep lemon-gold perianth of broad over- 
lapping petals has a bold crown of glow- 
ing coppery red orange. It has perfect 
form, exquisite color and very long 
stems. A truly magnificent daffodil.

IMPORTANT ADVICE TO HOME GARDENERS 
The success of your garden 
depends 
largely upon your own good 
efforts, but highly important also is the quality of the seeds and bulbs 
you plant. 
One of the first things for a new gardener to learn is that there are 
many grades of bulbs and seeds offered on the market. 
Large healthy bulbs will produce strong healthy plants, and more and 
better quality flowers. Cheap low grade bulbs and seeds produce dis- 
appointing results and prove more expensive in the long run, 
The bulbs and seeds you buy are the least expensive part of your 
garden operations and the better quality of your original purchase will 
justify the 
time.

quality seed and bulb establishment and we solicit your patronage on 
the basis of high quality and good service.
