Che New John Evelyn Hybrid Daffodils 
Without question one of the finest lot of New Daffodils to come from Holland since the war is 
known as the John Evelyn Hybrids. In the autumn of 1946 and 1947 a limited number of bulbs was 
sent us by Grullemans of Holland. We, as well as several of our customers, have tested these now 
for two years. All unreservedly claim them to be the finest selection of short cup Daffodils they 
have ever seen. The flowers have twice or more the substance of the varieties now generally in use. 
Rain, snow or wind, as well as a burning hot sun, which frequently occur during the blooming 
season, do not affect them. All multiply very rapidly and do not require frequent transplanting 
to keep them blooming freely. 
Here is a selection of varieties which will give you a rich return in pleasure, we might almost 
say for a lifetime. Each and every one offered is tops; differences in prices are only due to 
available supply. 
Don’t miss planting these as well as the rare pink tinted varieties which are. offered for the 
first time.

New Pink Trumpet Daffodils 
Calling this group of Narcissi “Pink” Daffodils is taking liberties, but it is common practice to 
refer to the well known Mrs. R. O. Backhouse as “The Pink Daffodil” and certainly the varieties 
offered here merit the same privilege. They are lovelier and more delicately tinted than Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse, which is their parent. Each one of them is a jewel in any Daffodil collection. All are 
excellent growers and multiply rapidly. Wayside Gardens has possibly imported and distributed 
more fine and rare bulbs than any other nursery firm in America. Grullemans of Holland now 
make this collection available to us. Quantities are still limited so we ask you to kindly order these 
varieties as soon as possible. 
Antibes Each $1.25, Six $7.00, Doz. $12.50 
Pure white perianth, well formed and substantial. The trumpet when 
opening is pale apricot shaded salmon and soft orange, later turning to 
soft pink. It is later tlowering than most of the other new pink sorts. 
Biarritz Each $1.25, Six $7.00, Doz. $12.50 
The white perianth gracefully sets off a lovely trumpet of pale butter- 
cup-yellow which is broadly fringed and edged apricot-pink. When fully 
developed, the trumpet becomes a clear apricot-pink. This is a strong 
grower and multiplies very freely. 
Cannes Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
Good, stiff, white perianth, somewhat inclined to turn backward. Trum- 
pet or cup medium sized, slightly flaring, soft canary-yellow with most 
a ies pink ruffles on edge of cup. A beautiful and delicately tint- 
ed flower. 
Champagne Each $2.00, Six $11.00, Doz. $20.00 
Pure white perianth, well formed and of good substance. The cup is 
large, pale cream-pink, with broad apricot-ruffled edge. When in full 
bloom the color turns to salmon-pink. One of the first to bloom and one 
of the very best. 
Mentone Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
White perianth; trumpet apricot, shaded pink outside, which is fringed 
and of a lovely tangerine-orange and rose color; inside somewhat strong- 
er in color than outside. When fully developed the flower turns to nearly 
clear pink. Cup length is about 2 inches and it is also 2 inches wide. 
Mrs. R. O. Backhouse 
Each 60c, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75, 25 $10.75, 100 $40.00 
This is the old ‘’Pink Daffodil,’ fine informal perianth of ivory-white, 
and beautifully proportioned, slim long trumpet of apricot-pink, changing 
to shell-pink at the deeply fringed edge. Delicately beautiful but of ex- 
ceptional substance; long lasting; early. Belongs in every collection. 
Pink Favorite Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
Pure white perianth of good form. The trumpet is at opening very pale 
yellow, soon turning to a most beautiful apricot-pink, somewhat darker 
inside. Well named; it is one of our favorites. Grows well and very free 
blooming. 
Pink Fancy Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50, 25 $15.00, 100 $55.00 
White perianth, well formed, with a pale apricot cup, broadly fringed 
soft pink. This is a very free flowering variety and lovely for cutting. 
A few bulbs soon develop into a big clump. It is for that reason it can 
be offered for less. It is a splendid multiplier. 
Pink Glory Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
The “Orchid’’ among the Narcissi. Pure white perianth, somewhat loose 
but graceful, with an exquisite long trumpet opening light Indian yellow 
soon shading to a lovely pink, inside deep pinkish apricot remaining so 
till the end. Without any question one of the most beautiful ‘’Pinks’’ 
ever raised. When used in a small corsage with some Asparagus green, 
it is as delicate as an Orchid. 
Pink Rim Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
The stiff, pure white perianth is of exceptionally good form. The cup is 
soft citron-yellow with a sharply defined picotee-like pink rim. It is 
quite distinct in its marking and coloring and always draws a lot of 
attention wherever shown. Strong stem and free blooming plus a rapid in- 
creaser makes this one of the best new pink Daffodils. 
Pink Select Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
Pure white perianth of fine form, opening pale yellow, soon turning to a 
lovely pink with apricot shadings, but mostly pink when fully developed. 
The trumpet is nearly 2 inches long and 2 inches wide. 
Siam Each $1.50, Six $8.00, Doz. $15.00 
Pure white perianth, well formed and of good substance. The cup is 
wide and flaring, apricot-tinted changing gradually to a soft pink. This 
is perhaps the largest flowered one in the collection and we predict it 
will be used by the hundreds of thousands in the feature. 
Please Note: 
All pink and apricot-tinted Daffodil flowers, while in bud stage or at 
earliest opening, do not show the pink shadings. This develops when the 
flowers are about a day old.
