Che CNew ohn Evelyn 
Without question one of the finest lots of New Daffodils to come from 
Holland is known as the John Evelyn Hybrids. In the autumn of 1946 and 
1947 the first bulbs were sent us by Grullemans of Holland. We, as well as 
several of our customers, have tested these and all unreservedly claim them 
to be the finest selection of short cup Daffodils they have ever seen. The 
flowers have twice or more the substance of the varieties now generally in 
use. Rain, snow or wind, as well as a burning hot sun, which frequently 
occur during the blooming season, do not affect them. All multiply very

Giant flowers and a greatly improved form of the well known John 
Evelyn. It is distinguished by its tremendously heavy, broad, flat, white 
perlanth and large, short, completely ruffled cup of pale lemon-yellow. 
A magnificent new hybrid of outstanding merit. It flowers freely and 
grows ruggedly; the general effect is bold and strong, yet handsome. 
One of the finest flowers for garden or cutting. Don’t miss including 
this variety in your next planting. 
Cerebus (New) Each 50c, Six $2.75, Doz. $5.00, 25 $9.50, 100 $35.00 
This is the giant of this fine group of hybrids. The flowers are huge. 
Perianth is pale ivory, the cup or crown very flaring and tinted a bright 
light golden yellow. Substance is incomparable. It was the largest 
Incomparabilis or short cup Daffodil shown at the New York Daffodil 
Show held in 1948. A superb variety. You will be astonished at its size 
and beauty. Excellent grower and very free blooming.

Magnificent, heavy, thick, pure white, overlapping petals with pale 
yellow cup very flaring and short, beautifully ruffled. The inside edge 
of the cup shows delicate tinting of a broad, deeper yellow band, a

cup. This also is one of the choicest John Evelyn hybrids destined to be 
a leader as soon as it becomes available generally
