3b LADY KESTEVEN (Backhouse-de Graaff) 1933— 
This is undoubtedly one of the very finest Barriis intro- 
duced by us. Words fail to describe this wonderful 
daffodil adequately. Suffice it to say that the perianth 
is pure white, well formed and substantial and that the 
cup is of the very deepest red ever seen in a daffodil. 
We are proud of the fact that we can introduce this 
beautiful daffodil to the United States, and though as 
yet it is too expensive to be forced for shows, we hope 
in a few years to be able to distribute it more freely. We 
believe that this is one of the most promising Barriis 
for hybridizing purposes, especially since the color does 
not seem to fade in the sun. A.M.H. 1931. 
per 100, $30.00

one of the best we have seen. each, $4.00

placing Laurens Koster. per 100, $7.00

our experience a most valuable daffodil for breeding as 
it has many good qualities and seems well adapted to 
our climate. each, $15.00
