DAFFODILS 
For outdoor use, plant the bulbs as early as possible in 
the Fall, 6 to 7 inches deep and 6 to 9 inches apart. In- 
doors, treat them the same as Tulips, but barely cover the 
bulbs with soil, and water copiously. 
We offer two sizes of bulbs, Double Nose I] (DN II) 
for outdoor use, and the larger Double Nose I (DN 1) for 
forcing. The larger bulbs will be supplied only on early 
orders, as we will not carry a surplus stock of them. Where 
an asterisk (*) appears before the name, the variety is 
suitable for forcing. 
These are commonly called Daffodils, but botanically 
they are Narcissi, and include a number of types or classes 
as described briefly below. They bloom early and long, 
making them ideal for beds, borders or naturalizing. The 
part which grows from the center of the flower is called 
a trumpet when it is long, a crown or cup when medium 
size, and an eye when very small. 
TRUMPET. This type of Nar- 
cissi has trumpets which are as long 
as or longer than the _ perianth 
petals. The stems are strong and 
more than a foot tall. Trumpet Nar- 
cissi may be yellow, white or bi-color. 
INCOMPARABILIS. In this class, the trumpet or crown 
is medium in length, one-third to the full length of the 
perianth. The range of colors in- 
cludes yellow and orange crowns, 
yellow and white perianths. 
BARRII. Another class with me- 
dium length cup which is less than 
one-third the length of the perianth. 
Included in this group are some of 
the deepest red cupped varieties.

in clusters on tall, strong stems. 
They are pleasantly scented and have 
a small cup or eye. Cheerfulness is 
a double-flowered Poetaz of out- 
standing beauty.
