Daffodils aud Yareissus 
The beauty of Daffodils and Narcissus ts unquestioned, and these 
flowers now form a leading feature in almost every spring garden. 
Every gardener should realize the enormous amount of pleasure that 
can so easily be obtained from growing them. 
Revision of the Classification of Daffodils. In this catalog we 
have adopted the revised system for the new R.H.S. classification of 
Daffodils and Narcissus formally approved by the General Bulb Grow- 
ers Society of Haarlem (Holland) and the Daffodil Societies of Amer- 
ica, Canada, Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. 
The whole genus ts now classified in eleven Divisions as follows: 
Ia. Yellow Trumpets. 
Ib. Bicolor Trumpets. 
Ic. White Trumpets. 
Ila. Large-Cupped, yellow perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIb. Large-Cupped, white pertanth, colored cup or corona. 
IIc. Large-Cupped, white perianth, white cup or corona. 
IId. Large-Cupped, not falling in a, b, or c. 
IIIa. Small-Cupped, yellow perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIIb. Small-Cupped, white perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIIc. Small-Cupped, white perianth, white cup or corona. 
IIId. Small-Cupped, not falling tm a, b, or c. 
IV. Double Varieties. 
V. Triandrus Narcissus. 
VI. Cyclamineus Narcissus. 
VII. Jonquilla Narcissus. 
VIII. Tazetta Hybrids (Poetaz, etc.). 
IX. Poeticus Narcissus. 
X. Species and Wild Forms and Hybrids. 
XI. Miscellaneous Narcissus not falling into any of the foregoing 
Divisions. 
New bulbs are rarely ready before late September. Plant as early 
as possible for best results, although late planting is satisfactory. All 
varieties are hardy; in northern climates a mulch is assurance against 
freezing. 
Plant bulbs so that tip is covered 3 to 4 inches. Use bonemeal or 
superphosphate, avoid all manures when planting, and top-dress the 
plantings in early March with commercial fertilizer. For long stems 
water the beds copiously whenever possible. 
For naturalizing effects plant bulbs irregularly. Cast the bulbs 
and plant in the position that they have fallen.
