Daffodils 
I wandered, lonely as a cloud 
That floats on high o’er vales and hills 
When all at once I saw a crowd — 
A host of golden daffodils 
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, 
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. 
—W™M. WORDSWORTH. 
It is believed that the name Daffodil stems from 
the French “fluer d’affrodille” which in turn was derived 
from the Greek “asphodelos.” The present terms Nar- 
cissi and Daffodils are identical and the many varieties 
are divided into eleven classes, indicated in our listing, 
giving characteristics and pictures of the various types. 
The Royal Horticultural Society of England, in co- 
operation with the various Bulb Growers Associations 
in this country, The Netherlands, Canada, Australia and 
New Zealand, recently published a new Classified List of 
Daffodil Names, including information regarding orig- 
inators and year of introduction. We shall be very glad 
to send you a copy upon receipt of $1.50, being the price 
of the book plus handling charges.
