ROCOCO 2 We flowered over 300 varieties of daffodils in our trial gardens this spring, in- 
cluding most of the world’s best and this variety was unquestionably the finest of them 
all. Visitor after visitor would exclaim over it and state that it was not only the most 
wonderful variety in the garden, but the finest daffodil they had ever seen. It has a 
broad, massive white perianth and a beautiful pale orange-apricot crown. It is a noble 
flower. One of its greatest boons is its extra heavy substance. Its seedlings are 
bound to lead us to a new era of completely weather-proof daffodils. Unquestionably 
one of the finest daffodils in the last hundred years. F.C.C. Haarlem, 1947. To our 
knowledge has never been exhibited in this country. Each $20.00. 
SWANSDOWN 4 Wonderful, double pure white. Different from any other. Good substance 
with very overlapping outer segments and a center of pure white feathery-looking petals. 
Strong grower and rapid increaser. Each $10.00. 
ULTIMUS 2 Flowering after nearly all other daffodils are over. Tall stems. Perianth creamy. 
Cup soft orange. Each $3.00. 
WHITE TRIUMPHATOR 1 An enormous white daffodil. Beautiful form. Especially out- 
standing for exhibition. Has won great acclaim at the few shows where it has been 
exhibited. Each $14.50. 
New Pink Daffodils 
NOTICE —There is no such thing as a pure pink daffodil. All the new daffodils that are 
called “‘pink’’ and have created such a sensation have white or very pale perianths and 
cups of varying shades of pink, rose, apricot, and salmon. Many of these flowers do 
not show the full pink tones until the flower has been open for several days. The 
following are considered the finest available today.

opening and turning to soft pink. Each $.80; 6 $4.25; 12 $8.00.

side. Very outstanding. Each $2.50; 6 $13.50; 12 $25.00.
