DAFFODILS 
DICK WELLBAND. M. One of the finest in this class. 
The perianth is pure white and the cup the brightest 
flame orange, making a striking contrast. One of its 
most remarkable qualities is that the color of the cup 
does not fade but rather intensifies with age. The 
flower lasts unusually long. A marvelous exhibition 
variety and one of our favorites. Each 25c; 3 for 70c; 
> 
dozen $2.50. 
ELDORADO. M. Here is a magnificent variety, of good 
form and striking color. The broad petaled perianth 
is a deep golden yellow; the widely expanding cup is 
deep yellow edged with vivid orange, and opens almost 
flat against the petals to a width of about two inches. 
The flower is held majestically on a good stem. Each 
50c; 3 for $1.25; doz. $5.00. 
FORTUNE. E. One of the finest things in the Daffodil 
world, lovely in form, attractive in color, a good strong 
grower, with its flower held tall and nobly erect. 
Fortune is a Giant Incomparabilis of largest size, per- 
fect form, and gorgeous color, borne on a 24-inch stem. 
Its grand flat overlapping perianth of great substance 
is clear brilliant yellow, with a very large and long 
bold crown of wonderful coppery red-orange. Vigor- 
ous and of good constitution. A remarkable feature 
of this gorgeous flower is its extreme earliness. Get 
your start of this fine variety now! 25c each; 3 bulbs 
for 70c; 12 for $2.50. 
FRA ANGELICO. Fairly early, with 3%-inch over- 
lapping, broad petals, slightly reflexing, of soft yellow 
color. Large one-inch-long cup flaring to two inches 
wide at mouth. Cup bright orange with deeper orange, 
very ruffled rim. Another very showy one. Each $1.00; 
3 for $2.75. 
GRETA GARBO. Large, creamy yellow perianth, over- 
lapping; soft orange, flaring cup 2” wide at mouth 
with slightly deeper color on scalloped edge. Good 
substance with plenty of class. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.75. 
GROTE KOOS (Big Jack). L. The broad creamy white 
petals are nicely overlapping; the deep yellow cup opens 
flat against the petals and is edged with a rich orange. 
This large flower with the two-inch-wide cup is very 
showy, and as it blooms rather late it extends the daf- 
fodil blooming period. Each 40c; 3 for $1.10; doz. 
$4.00. 
JOHN EVELYN. M. An outstanding favorite in the daf- 
fodil world. Large pure white perianth opens per- 
fectly flat and is 4 to 5 inches across. The large flat 
cup of lemon yellow is densely frilled or shirred to 
the base. A flower of most refined appearance. Un- 
excelled for either garden display or the show bench. 
Each 25c; doz. $2.50. 
OPTIMIST. Late. The pure white perianth measures 314 
to nearly 4 inches for us, the three outer petals being 
so wide that they touch behind the three inner petals, 
all well rounded and with a golden halo against the 
cup. The rich yellow cup is heavily frilled and edged 
with vivid orange, a little over half an inch long and 
better than an inch wide at the mouth. The lateness of 
the flower gives some gorgeous bouquets when many 
of the other varieties are gone. It’s really a honey. 
Each 25c; 3 for 70c; doz. $2.50. 
ORANGE BLOSSOM. Primrose yellow petals overlapping 
and slightly pointed. Cup about one inch long and solid 
orange to base, slightly flaring and nicely ruffled. 
Holds color well and does not scald. Fine grower and 
propagator; should be in every garden. Hach 35c; 
3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.50. 
REINE BLANCHE. Early, white perianth overlapping 
and four inches wide. The rather large cup flaring 
to a ruffled and fluted edge, is cream edged lemon, 
which fades to white with cream edge as it develops. 
A dainty, waxy flower, vigorous yet graceful. Looks 
like a John Evelyn seedling. Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00. 
WESTERN STAR 
ROCKEFELLER. Here is a new one with extra long 
stems, white perianth of good size, overlapping and 
showing golden yellow at the extreme base adjoining 
the cup. The inch long cup is nicely frilled, slightly 
flaring and of a rich yellow color throughout, slightly 
deeper inside. Kach 25c; 3 for 70c; doz. $2.50. 
SELMA LAGERLOF. M. One of the most outstanding 
in this class, this magnificent flower has a large snow 
white perianth, a flat, expanding cup of lemon yellow 
with a band of vivid orange. The flat yellow cup, open- 
ing to a good two inches wide, with the striking orange 
edge flattened back against the pure white petals make 
a flower of striking beauty. Each 70c; 3 for $2.00. 
TUNIS. E. A large, tall robust growing Leedsii of most 
distinct character and great lasting substance; broad 
waved white perianth and large bold ivory crown with 
handsome flanged and serrated brim retaining a re- 
markable flush of pale coppery gold at the edge. Each 
25c; 12 for $2.50. 
*k* WESTERN STAR. This is a new introduction of real 
merit, being released for the first time in 
1949. The flower is a huge white star; wide 
overlapping petals of pure white, the three 
outer petals almost meeting behind the three 
inner ones. The inch long cup flares to over two 
inches wide at the heavily ruffled and fluted 
edge. This luscious cup is a soft cream-white, 
faintly darker at the edge, with a soft golden 
throat deep inside the cup. It is an early bloomer, 
good keeper, and an outstanding show flower. 
Although the bloom is large (4 inches or more) 
it is graceful and stately and was greatly ad- 
mired at various flower shows where displayed 
this spring. To our knowledge there is nothing 
like this on the market. We know you’ll like it. 
It is being introduced at the very reasonable 
price of $5.00 each. Stock limited.
