Under normal circumstances these permanent 
plantings of Daffodils will improve from year to 
year and must not be disturbed for many years. 
We do not offer mixtures, because we believe 
them to be inferior, but above all, the effect pro- 
ducd by such a mixture does in no way compare 
to the pleasing picture of a clear color combina- 
tion of straight varieties. 
Not all varieties of Daffodils are suitable for 
naturalizing and a few which are either very early 
or very late, can only be used in such a manner, 
so as not to spoil the composition. These matters 
had best be taken up with us, when contemplating 
a natural planting of Daffodils. 
Many of the oldest standard varieties were 
eliminated in these listings, for the simple reason 
that we have numerous far superior varieties to 
choose from; nevertheless you will find such old 
favorites as John Evelyn, Franciscus Drake, Irene 
Copeland, Fortune, Firetail and Beersheba, all 
close to 30 years old, still listed. 
Oh, hush my heart, and take thine ease, 
For here is April weather 
The Daffodils beneath the trees 
Are all a-row together.
