new super-giant yellow trumpets. The flower is 
beautifully proportioned and is carried gracefully on 
flattened tapering stems, two feet tall. The broad 
overlapping petals form a star-shaped perianth of 
medium deep primrose, 5 to 6 inches across; trumpet 
slightly deeper in color. One of the top-notchers for 
many years. Hach 50c; 3 for $1.35.

ing yellow trumpet daffodil with slightly lighter peri- 
anth; a flower of huge size, great substance, and fault- 
less form. Hach 50c; 3 for $1.35. 
KING ALFRED. E. A deep golden vellow flower of won- 
derful substance, on stiff two-foot stems. Trumpet 
deeply frilled and recurved at the mouth. By far the 
best all yellow in its price class. The universal fav- 
orite for the cutflower trade. Produces wonderful, 
large, hard bulbs. Fach 15c; doz. $1.50. 

NORTHWEST-GROWN 
MORNING SUN. Here is a bi-color that is different! 
A new variety which was introduced in 1949, and it 
is really outstanding. This is a huge flower with a 
giant trumpet of the loud-speaker type. The well 
overlapping perianth is soft creamy-white; the me- 
dium length trumpet (about 14, to 1% inches long) 
is of a lemon yellow color slightly darker at the 
wide open scalloped edge. The loud-speaker trumpet 
opens to a good 2% inches or more at the mouth, 
and, with its deep golden yellow throat and edge of 
lovely sunny yellow, it truly looks like the morning 
sun. Bouquets of these blooms at spring flower 
shows were exclaimed over and admired by all. If 
you like giant cups you’ll love this one. It’s reason- 
able, too, for a new introduction. Kach $2.00. Stock 
limited. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSKEK. M. This is the famous ‘Pink 
Trumpet Daffodil.” Fine informal perianth of ivory 
white, and beautifully proportioned; slim, long trumpet

canary yellow. The long lemon yellow stigma and styles 
add to the color harmony of this remarkable flower; a 
leader for years to come. Awarded a gold medal at the

1935; many other awards. Each 30c; 3 for 80c; doz.

“I have never seen anything better than Aranjuez. We had both 
strong winds and sun while it was blooming, and it held its color till it 
was gone. It seems to be the longest lasting variety of all...” 
Irene B. Schmitz, Van Nuys, Calif.
