TRUMPET NARCISSUS 
N. asturiensis (minimus) (V.E.) — The smallest of all the miniature trumpet 
daffodils. Cne 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 38” 
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 
N. 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. Ixcellent bulbs. 
$2.00 per 190 $15.00 per 160 
N. minor (manus) 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.

$3.25 per 10 5 for $1.75 
N. moschatus (cernuus) (&) — 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 
N. 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. $1.10 per 10 $10.00 per 100 
N. 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 fer $1.85
