The Lure of the Sittl s Daffodils 
By “little Daffodils” are meant certain wild species of 
small stature that are all too seldom seen in gardens but 
that are, when given proper conditions, no more difficult 
to grow and to keep than are their prototypes of the later 
spring. 
That they are not more grown is perhaps due to the 
entirely unfounded belief that prevails in many quarters 
that these little Daffodils are not hardy. This is not at all 
the case. They are quite hardy in the face of many de- 
grees of extreme cold, but they do require certain condi- 
tions of soil and drainage if they are to be permanent 
“There flames the first gay daffodil 
Where winter-long the snows have lain.” 
however, in half shaded borders or on little shaded 
woodsy slopes under the eye of a loving and understand- 
ing caretaker, and where they are happy they increase 
and multiply with gratifying freedom. 
BULBOCODIUM CONSPICUUS. Flowers rich gold 
yellow, or hoop petticoat form and rush-like foliage; 
height, 6 inches. Prefers a dampish, sandy peat soil. $1.50 
for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
CYCLAMINEUS. The Yellow Cyclamen-flowered Daffo- 
dil. This beautiful little Daffodil is the earliest of all and 
NANUS. The smallest and dwarfest of all trumpet Daffo- 
dils, producing outdoors in early spring dainty little 
trumpet flowers of a rich full yellow; height about 3 
inches. It likes a peaty soil and may be naturalized on 
rockeries or in grass, or grown in pots or pans. $1.75 for 
10; $15.00 per 100. 
TRIANDRUS ALBUS. An exquisitely beautiful little 
species, appropriately called the “Angel’s Tears” Daffo- 
dil; it is of slender growth, and produces a cluster of 
elegant little creamy white flowers with globular cup and 
perianth reflexing as in the Cyclamen; height, 7 inches. 
is a charming, elegant little flower of very distinct form; 
the trumpet is rich yellow, straight and tube-like, ele- 
gantly serrated at the mouth, while the perianth is reflexed 
as in a Cyclamen. A valuable little species for pot culture, 
edgings, rock-work, and to naturalize in grass and shady 
nooks, or at the water’s edge; it delights in a dampish 
sandy peat soil and should be left undisturbed for years. 
Height, 6 inches, $1.90 for 10; $16.50 per 100. See 
illustration, page 36. 
The bulbs should be left undisturbed to establish them- 
selves. $1.65 for 10; $14.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 37. 
and increase their kind as we would have them do. More- 
over the bulbs are so small that they are frequently 
injured or dug out of the soil through thoughtless use 
of the hoe or spade in the part of the garden where they 
live—and this I believe to be the most frequent cause of 
failure with them. The rock garden offers them the most 
ideal home; here the soil may easily be mixed to their 
liking, and they may be assured immunity from inter- 
ference by the mangling hoe. They may also be grown,
