If you want to be sure of blooms, 
and want a showing as good as any 
professional’s, plant Daffodils. They 
ate sure to grow in spite of adversity, 
never giving any trouble, and each 
spting they produce healthy, gay and 
colorful blooms. You can depend 
upon them. 
You shouldn’t try to achieve for- 
mal effects with them. Don’t put 
them in straight rows or squared 
beds. They look best along the edge 
of the shrubbery, or strewn across 
the lawn. Lots of people plant Daffo- 
dils by taking the bulbs in handfuls 
and scattering them rather carelessly 
across the lawn or a grassy slope. 
Then they plant the bulbs 5 inches 
deep wherever they fall. They come 
up then as a natural part of the land- 
scape, as if man had nothing to do 
with it. Try it and see for yourself. 
To keep them blooming year after 
year, dig them up about every third 
year, separate them, and plant them 
again. Do this in July or early 
August. 
We chose the following Daffodils 
for you because they not only are 
some of the best but give you a good 
range of colors, shapes and sizes. All 
of them are imported by us, for you,
