Daffodils and Narcissi for Naturalizing 
NATURALIZING Daffodils planted in clusters in the foreground of shrubbery, or sown broad- 
cast through woodlands, along hillsides, in meadows or lawns, and planted 
where they fall, give a most pleasing natural effect. They will increase in 
beauty and number without special care and become permanently established. 
In heavy soils the most vigorous varieties should be used. More pleasing 
effects result from grouping the various types, such as all trumpet types, all 
Poeticus types, ete. 
SEEDLING From several acres of daffodil hybrids we select annually not more than 
thirty or forty plants for further propagation as clones. The remainder we 
MIXTURE offer as a special seedling mixture. This mixture contains all possible types 
and combinations that can be achieved. Many of our new pink Leedsii, as 
well as a large group of Triandrus hybrids, are in this mixture. For garden 
decoration or for cutting this mixture is unsurpassed. Only limited quan- 
tities available. per 1000. $70.00 and $56.00 
FLOWER This mixture is made up from named varieties, especially selected to give an 
abundant supply of flowers over a very long period. Only varieties that are 
BORDER adapted to naturalizing are selected. We grow several acres of this mixture 
and add to it, each year, the named varieties that we have tried out and that 
were found to be not sufficiently outstanding for continued propagation. There 
are well over a hundred different varieties in this mixture and it should not 
be confused with the cheap mixtures of old varieties that are frequently 
offered by other growers. per 1000, $60.00 and $48.00
