eye Daffodil CGiLeckon 
Here is the cream of the new imported hybrid Narcissi. All eleven of this 
great family of bulbs are represented, including the tiny species narcissi 
which are ideal for the rockery. Plant six or a dozen of a variety in a 36-inch 
circle, locate them toward mid-front in the perennial border or spot the 
groups at the edge of shrubs. Put them in north, east, west and south expo- 
sures to have a long succession of bloom in the spring. Practically all of these 
varieties make perfect cut flowers. 
Daffodils are easily grown and require no care. Once planted they bloom 
sturdily year after year. In from 5 to 10 years they will increase five to ten 
fold or more and some may require thinning. Plant from 6 to 12 inches deep 
in reasonably good garden soil, enriched perhaps with a handful of bone- 
meal to each group of bulbs. Cut all the flowers you want but be sure to 
let the tops die back before removing. Put them in the ground as soon as 
received. 
THE WHITE COLLECTION 
This is the finest collection of White Daffodils that has ever 
been offered. Descriptions do not do justice to the flowers 
because there are so few modifying adjectives for the 
word “‘white’’—like black, no two whites are alike, either. 
Few people are acquainted with white daffodils—when 
they see ours in bloom their eyes pop. This is as it should 
be, for there is nothing quite like them. These varieties are 
all strong, tall and free-flowering. We advise planting in 
solid banks for the best effect—between colored varieties. 
Beersheba Six $1.50; Doz. $2.75; 25 $5.00; 100 $18.00 
This was one of the first white daffodils offered. It is 
huge and reliable—a heavy propagator. Opens with a 
yellow tint that turns white in the garden. Cut, when first 
opening, it turns alabaster in a few hours. 
Cheerfulness — Six $1.35; Doz. $2.25; 25 $4.00; 100 $13.50 
Never was a flower better named. Clusters of showy 
double white flowers on exceedingly strong stems. When 
Cheerfulness first opens there is a suggestion of yellow 
in the center which soon fades. It is a late season bloomer; 
a heavy multiplier.
