DAFFODILS 
“Washington Grown’’ Daffodils are now 
conceded to be the finest produced anywhere 
in the world. The excellency of these bulbs 
is due to a great many factors. Foremost 
among these is the most perfect climatic 
~, conditions for the growing and curing of 
~ hardy bulb stocks. The mild wet winter make 
for perfect growing conditions. The cool sum- 
mers and proper atmospheric conditions are 
ideal for the proper curing of the bulbs. 
Datfodils will thrive in any well drained 
garden soil. Prepare the soil deeply, 12 inches 
or more is best. Plant at least 6 inches deep, 
extra large bulbs are better planted 7 or 8 
inches deep. (Some varieties make larger 
bulbs than others.) No manure should come 
in contact with the bulbs. If the soil needs fertility, use bone meal 
at the rate of one-fifth pound to the square yard mixed with the 
soil below the bulbs. 
A mulch of straw or leaves will be beneficial in very severe cli- 
mates. If the mulch is applied after the first freeze, it will prevent 
thawing and heaving. 
Daffodils, or Narcissus, are classified into several divisions. The 
number following the names of the different Daffodils represents 
the division. (1) Trumpet Narcissus—one flower to a stem; trumpet 
or cup as long or longer than the perianth segment (petals). (2)

third the length of the perianth. (4) Double Narcissus. (5) Tri-
