Daffodils or Narcissi 
Daffodils are the first of the major garden flowers to bloom in the spring. 
Doubly precious because they bring with them the joyful spring. 
Because so many of the hundreds of varieties of Daffodils so nearly dupli- 
cate others, we have chosen to offer a representative variety of each class 
and color. These have been chosen through study in our own trial grounds 
and close cooperation with several leading Dutch and American growers, 
and we can without reservation recommend each variety we offer as one of 
the best in its class and color.

I wandered lonely 
as a cloud 
That floats on 
high o’er vale 
and hills 
When all at 
once I saw 
a crowd 
A host of gold- 
en daffodils 
Beside the lake, 
beneath the 
trees, 
Fluttering and 
dancing in the 
breeze.
