BEERSHEBA. (Late Season). A magnificent pure white of perfect 
form and exquisite texture; with a beautiful, broad flat perianth 
and long slender trumpet of perfect proportion elegantly frilled 
at the mouth. The flower is of great size, measuring nearly 5 
inches across. A very vigorous grower, free flowering; and a grand 
exhibition variety. Beersheba is the most graceful of the pure 
white trumpets, while Mount Hood (listed below) is bolder and 
more dominant, with a broad heavily frilled trumpet.

CHASTITY. A choice new white variety whose graceful flowers are 
of purest white in decorative form. A valuable addition by our 
firm to the white trumpets. Very free flowering.

CHINA CLAY. In our opinion, one of the prettiest pure white Daf- 
fodils. The entire flower is glistening white, the perianth is star- 
shaped and the trumpet is rather narrow, nicely frilled at the 
rim. The foliage is greenish-blue. An extraordinary flower for 
cutting and for corsages but equally fine for garden decoration. 
A large bowl of China Clay, interspersed with flowers of Mrs. 
R. O. Backhouse, the pink Daffodil, is a sight never to be for- 
gotten.

MOUNT HOOD. (arly Season). A pearl of pearls ...a jewel among 
precious stones. This superb exhibition variety of faultless form 
Opens creamy white and changes rapidly into the purest white. 
The whole flower is rather bold and flashing, with a very broad, 
long trumpet which is heavily frilled and elegantly flanged at 
the mouth. If boldness and majesty is desired in a pure white 
trumpet use Mount Hood. If queenly gracefulness is desired, use 
Beersheba (listed above). Both are long lasting, wind and weather 
resisting. None better. Equally grand in moonlight or noonlight.

MRS. ERNEST H. KRELAGE. (Mid-Season). A charming visitor, stand- 
ing before a bed of this exquisite variety asked us “Is this the 
white King Alfred?” That question conveys satisfactorily the 
impression its flowers make, although it is not quite as large as 
King Alfred. It reflects pristine purity when sunlight plays on its 
balanced petalage, revealing the graceful curve of the trumpet’s 
brim. Easy to force, long stemmed. Good propagator. When 
the flower first opens the trumpet is creamy yellow, but gradually 
changes to soft ivory and thence to pure white.

The ‘Pink’ Daffodil 
V STRAIN #1077 
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 
Y 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. 
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.

Net eds For sheer enchantment, cut a bouquet of several blos- 
soms which have just opened and arrange them on the 
MULATTO 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.
