SHORT CUP DAFFODILS—Continued 
Francisca Drake Six $1.35, Doz. $2.30, 25 $4.15, 100 $14.75 
The pure white perianth petals are of unusual substance, an inch and 
a half wide, and tinted gold at the base, which shows through on the 
outside. The cup, wide and deep, is golden yellow at the base; changing 
gradually to flame-orange at the densely frilled edge. The flowers are 
held well above the fine foliage and give the effect of a flock of white 
seagulls taking flight; strong growing and free flowering. 
John Evelyn Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.05, 100 $14.25 
Outstanding among the new Incomparabilis hybrids. Flatly opening peri- 
anth, 4 to 5 inches across, with a flat cup nearly 2 inches in diameter., 
densely frilled, the perianth being pure white without a trace of shad- 
ing, and the cup lemon-yellow and fluted or shirred to the base; good 
neck. Strong grower; free flowering and a good propagater; one of the 
greatest Daffodils. 
La Argentina (New) 
Each 70c, Six $3.75, Daz. $7.00, 25 $13.50, 100 $50.00 
Large and broad white perianth; the cup is white but filled with radiat- 
ing stripes of yellow and orange, giving the appearance as of spokes in 
a wheel. These distinct markings make this variety unusual and distinct. 
It never fails to draw attention. : 
Mrs. Margaret Erskine (New) 
Each 70c, Six $3.75, Doz. $7.00, 25 $13.50, 100 $50.00 
Pale yellow, well overlapping perianth of fine quality. Cup is deep yel- 
low, frilled and wide at the mouth. A thing one notices at once is its 
fine balance and proportions along with unusual substance and quality. 
Mary Blonck (New) 
Each 40c, Six $2.25, Doz. $4.00, 25 $7.00, 100 $25.00 
Large, long white petals; cup medium size, flaring, rich flame-orange 
Poeticus tint inside, paler outside. An improved Francisca Drake would 
describe this variety well. The pure white petals and the vividly colored 
cup make this an outstanding novelty Holland has offered us. 
Orange Triumphator (New) 
Each $1.00, Six $5.75, Doz. $11.00, 25 $21.00 
Exceptionally large, flat, pale yellow perianth of excellent substance. 
The bright orange cup is short, very flaring and ruffled. A most dis- 
tinguished flower of excellent quality, holding its color in all kinds of 
weather. 
Red Marley (New) Each $1.25, Six $6.75, Doz. $12.50 
A choice and brilliantly tinted Daffodil. Perianth is a distinct dark 
golden yellow. The cup is quite long and tinted richest copper-red. This 
brilliant coloring remains throughout the life of the flower and is not 
affected by the sun. Red Marley is one of the finest Daffodils to come 
from Europe since the war. It multiplies freely and should be in every 
Daffodil fancier’s collection. 
Reginald Dixon (New) 
Each 40c, Six $2.25, Doz. $4.10, 25 $7.50, 100 $26.00 
An outstanding Daffodil of great charm and beauty. The perianth is 
big, well proportioned and of fine substance, color soft pale yellow. 
Crown or cup is well proportioned and somewhat flaring, of same color 
as perianth, edged orange. The effect is soft and refined. Here is a 
variety for the connoisseur. 
Rene de Chalons (New) 
Each 60c, Six $3.00, Doz. $5.75, 25 $10.75, 100 $40.00 
This is in a class with Carlton for size but is a much improved Fortune. 
Pale yellow, flat, broad petals with large, deep yellow beautifully ruf- 
fled cup, perfectly proportioned. It is perhaps the finest of the all pure 
yellow Incomparabilis. In Europe it is considered far better than Fortune 
and; from what we have seen of it we agree. It’s a choice kind every 
connoisseur should have in his collection. In time it will be one of the 
most popular, 7 
Scarlet Elegance Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $13.75 
A superb Daffodil, one of the finest in this group. The substantial 
flowers are large and have well formed, dark yellow petals or perianth 
with medium sized but intensely briltiant orange-scarlet cup. During 
the war, experts on Daffodils in Holland quickly increased their stocks 
ped now can offer this choice variety in quantity and at a remarkably 
ow price. 
Scarlet Leader (New) 
Each 45c, Six $2.40, Doz. $4.30, 25 $8.00, 100 $28.00 
Perfectly flat creamy white petals with large, deep red crown make a 
not easily forgotten picture. Scarlet Leader by many is claimed to be 
the finest of Incomparabilis. We don’t want to be quite that bold, but 
certainly it’s a magnificent flower of which hundreds of thousands will 
be grown in the years to come. 
Selma Lagerlof (New) 
Each 50c, Six $2.65, Doz. $4.75, 25 $9.00, 100 $33.00 
Perianth is pure white with broad, heavy, overlapping petals. Cup is 
large and flaring, beautifully ruffled, soft yellow inside with wide rim 
of orange shading to red along the edge. This belongs among the fin- 
est of the new Daffodils. 
Yellow Poppy Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.10, 100 $14.50 
Among all the fine Daffodils of recent introduction, few have more 
quickly made a name for themselves—a flower of good size, with wide 
flaring trumpet, 1% inches across, the whole flower being finely pro- 
portioned, and borne on a tall stem with a qood neck. In color the 
perianth is pure yellow, and the cup of the same lovely shade deepening 
slightly at the frilled edge; conspicuous styles of the same shade as the 
perianth add to its beauty. Outstanding and in every way a satisfactory 
powell as a sensational flower, both in the garden and as a flower for 
cutting. 
Zarah Leander (New) 
Each $1.00, Six $5.75, Doz. $11.00, 25 $21.00

Each 45c, Six $2.50, Doz. $4.50, 25 $8.25, 100 $30.00

4 inches across, with cup nearly.2 inches, resembles a Trumpet, but 
much more graceful in form; perianth pure white, with cup opening 
primrose and turning to light canary-yellow, deeper at the base. Long, 
lemon-yellow stigma and styles add to the color harmony of this re-

handsome flower.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT 
As Well as for Your Flowers 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in their 
food needs as humans. There are plenty of what might be called the 
shot-in-the-arm kinds of ready mixed fertilizers. But, they are mostly 
only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a stimu- 
lant. They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots, produce good sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
Thats exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of 
our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is due to it. 
What it has done, and is doing for our 600 mile of plants, it will do 
for your gairden. ’
