E—early, M—midseason, and L—Iate.

izing. 3 for 60c, 12 for $2.00, 50 for $7.50. 
FRANCISCA DRAKE—(M). The broad, pure white petals are tinted 
gold at the base. The wide, deep cup is golden yellow at the base,

stems give the illusion of birds taking flight. 3 for 75c, 12 for $2.50, 
50 for $8.75.

white perianth opens flat, measuring often 4 or 5 inches across and

lemon-yellow. 3 for $1.00, 12 for $3.50, 50 for $12.50.

yellow petals; dark red cup with an orange-red margin. A splendid 
garden and cutflower. 3 for $1.00, 12 for $3.50, 50 for $12.50. 
DAINTY MINIATURE 
THALIA—(E). A dainty minia-

three pure white flowers are borne 
in a cluster on each stem. Excellent 
for the rock garden and for pots. Cut 
flowers make interesting arrange- 
ments. 3 for $1.00, 12 for $3.50, 50 
for $12.50. 
GROWING DAFFODILS 
Daffodils thrive in any good, well- 
drained garden soil. Deep soil prepa- 
ration is necessary. For best results 
work in bone meal or compost 16 
to 18 inches below the surface. No 
fertilizer of any kind should come 
in direct contact with the bulbs. Ad-

ivory white petals and long narrow 
trumpet of shell pink with deeply 
fringed edge. 60c each, 12 for $6.00.
