TRIANDRUS ALBUS (Angel Tears)——The dainty little 
““Angel’s Tears” daffodils were found by the late Mr. 
Peter Barr on the mountains of Spain and Portugal, 
growing in very hard, firm, fine gritty soil, sometimes 
in the narrowest fissures of granite slatestone rocks. 
They make beautiful pot-plants and do very well in the 
rock garden where they form a picture of grace and 
beauty with their white flowers, and drooping habit. 
They prefer shade, a gritty soil and a well-drained po- 
sition. No manure should be given. Each 20c; doz. 
$2.00. 

FEBRUARY GOLD 


“ae 
. the parcel arrived. I could scarcely wait—in fact, I opened it 
at school, like a kid with a Christmas sock. At home I carefully re- 
moved each bag, opened it, and loved every bulb. And that sawdust 
(cedar) some of them were packed in! To you that is all it is—packing. 
To me it was a breath from home, whose fragrance carried a myriad 
of memories. Such little things mean so much to a person abroad. 
Everything is in perfect condition. I can scarcely wait for the week 
end to get up to the farm and tuck them into the ground . . . Wishing 
you every success in a business which must spread cheer to many (think 
of that when you have discouragements) .. .”
