Division VIII - Tazetta Narcissi 
(Comprising the former Poetaz Narcissi (Bunch-flowered Group)) 
Distinguishing characters: Characteristics of any of the Narcissus Tazetta group Clearly 
evident 
A beautiful race of Narcissi, tall vigorous growers, the individual flowers, which are 
produced in a bunch, resemble those of a Poeticus and are delightfully perfumed. They 
were raised by crossing Poeticus Ornatus and Narcissi Polyanthus, the former being 
the seed parent. They are perfectly hardy and may be left undisturbed in the garden 
for years. We can also strongly recommend them for gently forcing. 
Admiration (19), a beautiful showy variety with 4 to 6 flowers on a stem, perianth 
pale yellow, cup orange, heavily margined scarlet, profuse bloomer, ideal for forcing 
and a grand bedding variety. $ 1.30 per doz.; $ 9.50 per 100 
Cheerfulness, (Double) (19), a double form of Elvira, creamy-white perianth with a 
full double centre of pale yellow, very distinct and decorative, strong grower. 
Officially classified under Division IV. $ 1.10 per doz.; $ 8.00 per 100 
Early Perfection (14), pure white perianth, cup citron-yellow, producing substantial 
flowers, very valuable for pots and bowls. $ 1.25 per doz.; $ 9.00 per 100 
Elvira (17), one of the best of this group, flowers have solid white petals with bright 
yellow cup, finely edged orange-scarlet, deliciously scented, a favorite garden 
variety and for late forcing. $ 1.25 per doz.; $8.75 per 100 
Fairness (Double), offered for the first time, a splendid double form of Tazetta N. 
Admiration, several double flowers on a stem, color pale yellow interspersed orange 
and scarlet, very decorative, good grower. (Officially classified under Division IV % 
25 cts. each; $ 2.50 per doz. 
Geranium (16), here is a Poetaz-Hybrid of great beauty, bearing on strong stems 
heads of 4 to 6 flowers with broad pure white petals of solid substance and a 
bright orange-scarlet cup, a very effective late flowering variety much recommen- 
ded for the border, sturdy grower, fine for pots and for forcing from the middle of 
February. (See illustration). $ 1.30 per doz.; $ 9.50 per 100 
Halvose (16), a very interesting variety on account of its color, the red from the crown 
suffusing into the segments, clear yellow perianth flushed coppery red, and bright 
red crown. $ 1.25 per doz.; $ 8.75 per 100 
Hermanii, very few growers seem to offer this new race of very fine Narcissus as most 
stocks appear to have been lost during the war, they produce two to three flowers 
as large as a Barrii on a strong upright stem, pure white perianth and orange cup, 
brighter orange at margin. They are extremely useful for table decoration and we 
strongly recommend our customers to try them. Mixed varieties, limited stock. 
$ 1.40 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 
Laurens Koster (22), bearing on tall, graceful stems heads of 5 to 6 large flowers, with 
solid rounded perianth and pale yellow cup, good grower and one of the best 
for forcing. $ 1.10 per doz.; $ 8.00 per 100 
Red Guard (16), F.C.C., Haarlem, a most charming and quite distinct flower of 
unusual coloring. The perianth is orange-yellow richly suffused with red, the cup 
is bright scarlet, it is of a very free flowering habit and often it is carrying two 
flowers on one stem. $ 1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100 
Scarlet Gem (15), A.M., Wisley, in our opinion this is one of the best bunch-flowered 
Narcissi yet raised, it is a very showy, free flowering variety with primrose-yellow 
perianth and brilliant orange-scarlet cup, $ 1.30 per doz.; $ 9.50 per 100 
St. Agnes (16), A.M., R.H.S. and Haarlem, this lovely variety deserves wide popularity 
to do justice to its beauty and attractiveness, it is a very beautiful Poetaz, large pure 
white perianth and expanded eye of brilliant deep solid red, several large flowers 
to a stem, a splendid garden plant. $1.10 per doz.; $ 8.00 per 100
