MINIATURE NARCISSI AND DAFFODILS 
The miniature, dwarf and semi-dwarf Narcissi and Daffodils are delight- 
ful flowering bulbs for the ornamentation of your spring garden. 
The small flowering species are especially at home in the rock garden 
where tender care can be given them. The dwarf and the semi-dwarf hybrids 
are usually more robust and we recommend their use freely for foundation 
planting, in the flower border, and also in larger rock gardens or for natural- 
izing. 
All like moisture during their growing season, but none will tolerate sae 
nant places. Although success in flowering can be expected from late plant- 
ing, we recommend early planting of all Narcissi and Daffodils. This is es- 
sential to insure good root growth before the cold weather sets in, and 
especially so of the small species. 
We are following the latest recognized and accepted valid names. Old 
names have been added between parenthesis ( 
We are offering to you with great pleasure and pride our extensive list. 
Many are extremely rare and have come to us from Mr. Thibodeau’s private 
collection. By carefully choosing among the very early, early, mid season, 
late and very late, it is possible to have some in bloom from three to four 
weeks and more. 
Being species, or closely related hybrids, they make much smaller buhe 
than the large flowering hybrids. By planting several groups of these ex- 
quisite miniatures, we assure you that you will have many enjoyable moments. 
They will astound you by their superb beauty of form and coloring. 
Do not overlook our special offer of long blooming seasonal and other 
collections, selected with special care for your pleasure by Mr. Thibodeau, 
who has grown over one hundred varieties of miniature Daffoldils. 
General planting depth for small bulb varieties is 3’ to 4” deep and 1” to 
2” apart; larger bulbs, 4” to 5’ deep and 3” to 4” apart. In the middle Atlantic 
states, it should be about 3” to 4” deep; further South, 2” to 3” deep.
