TRUMPET NARCISSUS 
asturiensis (minimus) (V.E.) — The smallest of all the miniature trumpet 
daffodils. One must see it to believe that such small but perfect 
daffodils exist. It is like the tiniest replica of the giant King Alfred 
from the fairyland of Spain. Perfect, exquisite golden flowers on 3” 
stems. The smallest trumpet is fringed at the rim and greatly en- 
hanced by the twisted petals. Very narrow leaves, about 8” long. 
Unsurpassable in miniature elegance. Likes a moist situation, well 
drained with gritty soil. $1.25 per 10 $10.00 per 100 
Gayi (princeps) (M.S.) — A vigorous grower with a whitish perianth and 
a clear yellow trumpet on 12” stems. Very good for naturalization at 
the base of small rock gardens or in drifts in a large one. Very old, 
origin unknown. Rarely offered. Excellent bulbs. 
$2.00 per 10 $15.00 per 100 
minor (nanus) V.E.) — A little jewel, larger and a little taller than N. 
asturiensis, 3” to 4” tall. Bright yellow trumpet delicately plaited at 
the rim; perianth is a shade lighter and slightly pointed petals. A 
doer in any good soil. Recommended for small or large rock gardens. 
Plant in drifts of ten or more. Extremely scarce. 
$3.25 per 10 5 for $1.75 
moschatus (cernuus) (E) — A very old white daffodil of unknown origin. 
Rather nodding flower of exquisite whiteness. The petals are some- 
what twisted and partly envelop the trumpet. A graceful beauty on 
9” stems; hardy and prolific. Appreciates shade from the noonday 
sun. Rarely offered. 5 for $2.50 10 for $4.50 
nanus (lobularis) (V.E.) — A good worthy little bicolor daffodil. Not 
known wild, perhaps of Dutch origin. Quite often substituted for N. 
minor (nanus). Yellow trumpet and a pale creamy white perianth 
on 5” to 6” stems. Most often the first to flower. Increases very 
rapidly and should be planted at least 3” to 4” apart and 4” deep. 
Very colorful when planted in large drifts in the rock garden or flower 
border. Good for foundation planting. We recommend lifting and 
dividing every 3 to 4 years. $1.80 per 10 $14.00 per 100 
Pseudo-Narcissus Obvallaris (V.E.) — Known in England as “The Tenby 
Daffodil.” Bright, golden yellow flowers with a beautifully rolled 
rim; good stiff stem, about 12”. In part shade remains a full two 
weeks in excellent condition. Very desirable for naturalizing in thin 
grass, in an odd corner of the rock garden. 5 for $1.00 10 for $1.85 
Pallidiflorus (Pallidus praecox) (V.E.) — Delightful large and semi- 
nodding pale yellow flowers; sometimes a bicolor daffodil. Usually 
the flower turns pale sulphur or creamy white after a few days. 
6” to 8” tall. A temperamental and variable plant. In some gardens 
it does very well; in others it is hard to manage. However, its beauty 
is very rewarding and well worth trying. Likes semi-shade. Rarely 
offered. 5 for $2.50 10 for $4.50 
Psuedo-Narcissus (V.E.) — Known in England as the “Lent Lily.” Very 
beautiful creamy white or primrose bicolor on 6” to 8” stems. Has 
retained all the charm of the wild daffodil for many centuries. Fine 
for naturalizing at the base of a rock garden. Sometimes requires 
two seasons to get established. It is almost never offered.
