Without question one of the finest lots of New Daffodils to come from Holland 
is known as the Weather Proof or John Evelyn Hybrids. In the autumn of 1946 and 
1947 the first bulbs were sent us by Grullemans of Holland. We, as well as severaf 
of our customers, have tested these and all unreservedly claim them to be the 
finest selection of short cup Daffodils they have ever seen. The flowers have twice 
or more the substance of the varieties now generally in use. Rain, snow or wind, 
as well as a burning hot sun, which frequently occur during the blooming season, 
do not affect them. All multiply very rapidly and do not require frequent trans-

It is distinguished by its tremendously heavy, broad, flat, white perianth and 
large, short, completely ruffled cup of pale lemon-yellow. A magnificent new 
hybrid of outstanding merit. It flowers freely and grows ruggedly; the gen- 
eral effect is bold and strong, yet handsome. One of the finest flowers for 
garden or cutting. Don’t miss including this variety irs your next planting.
