Brookville (New) 
Each 60c, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75, 25 $10.75, 100 $40.00 
Giant flowers and a greatly improved form of the well known John 
Evelyn. It is distinguished by its tremendously heavy, broad flat white 
perianth and large, short, completely ruffled cup of deep golden yellow. 
A magnificent new Hybrid of outstanding merit. It flowers freely and 
grows ruggedly; the general effect is bold and strong, yet handsome. 
One of the finest flowers for garden or cutting. Don’t miss including 
this variety in your next planting. 
Carlton Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
A most beautiful variety. Broad, overlapping, flat perianth with a large, 
expanded cup. The whole flower is of a soft uniform yellow. Very free 
flowering and a strong and sturdy grower. One of the outstanding 
varieties in this group. 
Cerebus Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50, 25 $15.00, 100 $55.00 
This is the giant of this fine group of hybrids. The flowers are huge. 
Perianth is pale ivory, the cup or crown very flaring and tinted a bright 
light golden yellow. Substance is uncomparable. It was the largest 
Incomparabilis or short cup Daffodil shown at the New York Daffodil 
Show held in 1948. A superb variety. You will be astonished at its size 
and beauty. Excellent grower and very free blooming. 
Dick Wellband Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
_ The perianth is pure white and the cup a brilliant flame-orange. One 
of its most remarkable qualities is that the color does not fade but 
rather intensifies with age. The flower has unusual lasting qualities. 
Its greatest beauty lies in the startling contrast between petals and 
cup which makes it stand out even in the largest collection of Daffo- 
dils. An exhibition variety “par excellence.” 
Duke of Windsor (New) g 
Each 65c, Six $3.50, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00, 100 $45.00 
Magnificent heavy, thick, pure white overlapping petals with pale yel- 
low cup very flaring and short, beautifully ruffled. The inside edge of 
the cup shows deiicate tinting of a broad golden band, a most interest- 
ing variation in the soft over-all pale yellow shade of the cup. This 
also is one of the choicest John Evelyn Hybrids destined to be a leader 
as soon as it becomes available generally. 
Fortune Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
Broad, creamy yellow perianth of very solid texture, crown of great size 
and elegant form, opening at mouth and beautifully frilled, of a glow- 
ing soft orange. A giant Incomparabilis of perfect form, early, a strong 
grower. Undoubtedly will soon become one of the most popular varie- 
ties. This is already a great English favorite. 
Francisca Drake Six $1.40, Doz. $2.35, 25 $4.25, 100 $15.50 
The pure white perianth petals are of unusual substance, an inch and 
a half wide, and tinted gold at the base, which shows through on the 
outside. The cup, wide and deep, is golden yellow at the base; changing 
gradually to flame-orange at the densely frilled edge. The flowers are 
held well above the fine foliage and give the effect of a flock of white 
seagulls taking flight; strong growing and free flowering.

Red Marley (New) Each 75c, Three $2.00, Six $3.75 
A choice and brilliantly tinted Daffodil. Perianth is a distinct dark 
golden yellow. The cup is quite long and tinted richest copper-red. This 
brilliant coloring remains throughout the life of the flower and is not 
affected by the sun. Red Marley is one of the finest Daffodils to come 
from Europe since the war. It multiplies freely and should be in every 
Daffodil fancier’s collection, :

edged with orange. This is one of the fine short cup Daffodils which 
should be in every collection. 
Rene de Chalons (New) 
Each 65c, Six $3.50, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00, 100 $45.00 
This is in a class with Carlton for size but is a much improved Fortune. 
Pale yellow, flat, broad petals with large, deep yellow beautifully ruf- 
fled cup, perfectly proportioned. It is perhaps the finest of the all pure 
yellow Incomparabilis. In Europe it is considered far better than Fortune 
and from what we have seen of it we agree. It’s a choice kind every 
connoisseur should have in his collection. In time it will be one of the 
most popular. 
Scarlet Elegance Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.85, 100 $13.25 
A superb Daffodil, one of the finest in this group. The substantial 
flowers are large and have well-formed, dark yellow petals or perianth 
with medium sized but intensely brilliant orange-scarlet cup. During 
the war, experts on Daffodils in Holland quickly increased their stocks 
ong now can offer this choice variety in quantity and at a remarkably 
ow price, 
Scarlet Leader (New) 
Each 45c, Six $2.50, Doz. $4.50, 25 $8.25, 100 $30.00 
Perfectly flat creamy-white petals with large deep red crown make a 
not easily forgotten picture. Scarlet Leader by many is claimed to be 
the finest of Incomparabilis. We don’t want to be quite that bold, but 
certainly it’s a magnificent flower ef which hundreds of thousands will 
be grown in the years to come. 
Smaragd (New) Each 50c, Six $2.75, Doz. $5.00, 25 $9.50, 100 $35.00 
The perianth is composed of short, heavy and thick, pure white petals. 
The soft lemon-yellow tinted crown is short, widely flaring and beauti- 
fully ruffled. We consider this one of the finest Daffodils Holland has 
sent us. It is distinct, handsome, very free flowering and multiplies fast. 
What more could be asked! 
Wodan (New) Each 60c, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75, 25 $10.75, 100 $40.00 
Large canary-yellow perianth with very large, flaring crown of the same 
color, beautifully frilled and ruffled. The edge of the ruffle is tinted 
light orange which gives a fine character to the flower. It is a very rug- 
ged variety which multiplies rapidly and blooms very freely. A superb 
Daffodil for the garden as well as for cutting. 
Yellow Poppy Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
Among all the fine Daffodils of recent introduction, few have more 
quickly made a name for themselves—a flower of good size, with wide 
flaring trumpet, 11% inches across, the whole flower being finely pro- 
portioned, and borne on a tall stem with a good neck. In color the 
perianth is pure yellow, and the cup of the same lovely shade deepening 
slightly at the frilled edge; conspicuous styles of the same shade as the 
perianth add to its beauty. Outstanding and in every way a satisfactory, 
as well as a sensational flower, both in the garden and as a flower for 
cutting.
