seen growing at our Nurseries in Gloucester and Mathews

size double nosed bulbs. (do not be led astray by cheap of- 
fers which are usually for small inferior bulbs). All are

Entomologist and his Inspectors as free from disease. The 
grower of these outstanding varieties has had many years 
experience with Daffodils, which include 20 years as farm 
Hee for one of the Largest Dutch growers of fine daf- 
odils. 
Virginia grown Daffodils, planted in the North bloom 
two to three weeks earlier than those grown in the cooler 
Northern climate. Flowering this much earlier they have a 
chance to develop slowly and fully while the weather is 
still cool. This is important with the highly colored reds, 
oranges and especially so with the pinks and many deli- 
cate shadings that are seldom seen when flowers open late 
in the season during warm bright weather. 
Digging of bulbs must be completed in July, and some 
varieties on this list will not be dug unless ordered, It is 
therefore Important that orders be sent in EARLY. A 5% 
discount in bulbs (my selection) will be given on all or- 
ders received before 31 July. Shipment of bulbs will be 
made early in September. Check with order please, or if 
desired they will be sent C. O. D.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DAFFODILS 
The main requirement for success is a well drained soil. 
They are not happy in a wet spot where water will stand. 
Any good garden soil is ideal. Cow manure mixed in the soil 
at, or preferably before planting time, is ideal and will pro- 
duce blooms and bulbs of unbelievable size. Bone meal is 
the only safe substitute to use at planting time. A top dres- 
sing of stable manure is always helpful during the winter 
months, serving also as a mulch. In the Middle Atlantic 
states plant bulbs deep enough so the neck of the bulb is 
covered with 3 or 4 inches of earth after the ground has 
settled. In the more Northern states 4 or 5 inches is de- 
sirable, while in the Southern states 2 or 3 inches is suf- 
ficient. Early planting is advisable so that the root system 
can develop before cold weather sets in. All questions per- 
taining to daffodils cheerfully answered.
