Che New John Evelyn Hybrid Daffodils 
Without question one of the finest lots of New Daffodils to come from Holland since the war is 
known as the John Evelyn Hybrids. In the autumn of 1946 and 1947 a limited number of bulbs was 
sent us by Grullemans of Holland. We, as well as several of our customers, have tested these now 
for two years. All unreservedly claim them to be the finest selection of short cup Daffodils they 
have ever seen. The flowers have twice or more the substance of the varieties now generally in use. 
Rain, snow or wind, as well as a burning hot sun, which frequently occur during the blooming 
season, do not affect them. All multiply very rapidly and do not require frequent transplanting 
to keep them blooming freely. 
Here is a selection of varieties which will give you a rich return in pleasure, we might almost 
say for a lifetime. Each and every one offered is tops; differences in prices are only due to 
available supply. 
Don’t miss planting these as well as the rare pink tinted varieties which are offered for the 
first time.

One of the outstanding new varieties. 
Carbineer (New) Each 75c, Six $4.00, Doz. $7.50, 25 $15.00 
A rare new Daffodil of rare substance and form. Never before have we 
seen anything quite like it. The perfectly proportioned flowers are most 
unusual and clean cut. The perianth is perfect and so is the cup. Both 
are the same color, of deepest tangerine-orange-yellow. An outstanding 
variety noted for its perfection of bloom in particular. 
Carlton Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.75 
A most beautiful variety. Broad, overlapping, flat perianth with a large,

varieties in this group.

The cup of this variety is so large it is easily mistaken for a Trumpet 
Daffodil. Color of cup and perianth is rich golden yellow, unfading in 
brightest sun. Rated one of the best of the new Daffodils from Europe. 
It stood up excellently in our test garden for three years. Very free 
blooming. 
Dick Wellband Six $1.45, Doz. $2.50, 25 $4.65, 100 $17.00 
The perianth is pure white and the cup a brilliant flame-orange. One 
of its most remarkable qualities is that the color does not fade but 
rather intensifies with age. The flower has unusual lasting qualities. 
Its greatest beauty lies in the startling contrast between petals and 
cup which makes it stand out even in the largest collection of Daffo- 
dils. An exhibition variety ‘par excellence.”

orange near the perianth. It flowers very freely and multiplies well.

Broad, creamy yellow perianth of very solid texture, crown of great size 
and elegant form, opening at mouth and beautifully frilled, of a glow- 
ing soft orange. A giant Incomparabilis of perfect form, early, a strong 
grower. Undoubtedly will soon become one of the most popular varie- 
ties. This is already a great English favorite.
