DICK WELLBAND. (Incomparabilis.) Very strong and 
exceptionally free-flowering. The perianth is pure white 
and the cup flame-orange. One of its most remarkable 
qualities is that the color does not fade but rather intensifies 
with age. The flower lasts unusually long and we believe 
that this variety will be of the greatest value both for green- 
house work and for outside. Its great beauty lies in the 
startling contrast between petals and cup which makes it 
stand out in the largest collection of Daffodils. 3 for 60c; 
$1.90 per doz.; $14.00 per 100.
