M. moschatum major — The musk-scented Muscari are not very colorful 
and many people are apt to pass them by, looking for something 
more showy for the garden. This form is famous for its haunting 
spicy scent. Glaucous leaves, purplish grey flowers turning yellow 
on 6” to 8” stems. Requires a sheltered sunny place. Takes a little 
time to establish and flower well. Should not be disturbed. Seldom 
offered in America. $2.00 per 10 
M. Tubergenianum — Of recent introduction and the most brilliant of the 
blue Muscari. In bud, they are of the most intense turquoise blue; 
when fully opened the bells of the lower half are a deep Oxford blue; 
the tops of the spike, a bright clear blue. Free flowering; 8” tall. 
Highly recommended for a choice spot in the rock garden or flower 
border. We are pleased to offer this winner of an Award of Merit in 
London, 1950. $1.00 per 10 $9.00 per 100 
MINIATURE NARCISSI AND DAFFODILS 
The miniature, dwarf and semi-dwarf Narcissi and Daffodils are delightful 
flowering bulbs for the ornamentation of your spring garden. 
The small flowering species are especially at home in the rock garden 
where tender care can be given them. The dwarf and semi-dwarf hybrids are 
usually more robust and we recommend their use freely for foundation planting, 
in the flower border, and also in larger rock gardens or for naturalizing. 
All like moisture during their growing season, but none will tolerate stag- 
nant places. Although success in flowering can be expected from late planting, 
we recommend early planting of all Narcissi and Daffodils. This is essential 
to insure good root growth before the cold weather sets in, and especially 
so of the small species. 
We are following the latest recognized and accepted valid names. Old 
names have been added between parentheses (_ ). 
We are offering to you with great pleasure and pride our extensive list. 
Many are extremely rare and have come to us from Mr. Thibodeau’s private 
collection. By carefully choosing among the very early, early, mid season, 
late and very late, it is possible to have some in bloom from three to four weeks 
and more. 
Being species, or closely related hybrids, they make much smaller bulbs 
than the large flowering hybrids. By planting several groups of these ex- 
quisite miniatures, we assure you that you will have many enjoyable moments. 
They will astound you by their superb beauty of form and coloring. 
Do not overlook our special offer of long blooming seasonal and other 
collections, selected with special care for your pleasure by Mr. Thibodeau, who 
has grown over one hundred varieties of miniature Daffodils. 
General planting depth for small bulb varieties is 3” to 4” deep and 1” to 2” 
apart; larger bulbs, 4” to 5” deep and 3” to 4” apart. In the middle Atlantic 
states, it should be about 3” to 4” deep; further South, 2” to 3” deep. 
SYMBOLS: (V.E.) very early (FE) early (M.S.) mid season (L) late
