The “Pink” Daffodil 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE. (Early Season). This is one of 
the most famous of all daffodils because of its unique 
and exquisite color. The perianth is informal and 
graceful, of soft ivory white; and the slender fluted 
trumpet is actually a luscious shade of soft creamy ap- 
ricot upon opening — deeper in tone at the mouth, 
rather delicately tinted toward the base. Each day the 
trumpet gradually changes, subtly blending to delicate 
amber, and then to a lovely shade of apricot pink. 
Flowers are medium in size, very airy, dainty and 
graceful. To really enjoy the delicate coloring of this 
\ variety the bulbs should be planted in clusters of 5 or 6. 
DP 
The flowers are well proportioned, with excellent sub- 
stance, and are long lasting. Very free flowering, adapt- 
able to many different locations, and will thrive for 
years and years without replanting. As it is very vigor- 
ous and multiplies rapidly, a cluster of a few bulbs will, 
in just a few years, develop into extensive clumps bear- 
ing countless flowers in breathtaking profusion. 
For sheer enchantment, cut a bouquet of several blos- 
soms which have just opened and arrange them on the 
dining room table out of the direct sunlight. In the 
subdued light of indoors the delicate coloration and 
subtle. changes will provide several days of delight for 
the entire family.
