Under normal circumstances these permanent plant- 
ings of Daffodils will improve from year to year and 
must not be disturbed for many years. 
We do not offer mixtures, because we believe them 
to be inferior, but above all, the effect produced by 
such a mixture does in no way compare to the pleasing 
picture of a clear color combination of straight varieties. 
All varieties listed in this booklet preceded by an 
asterisk, are tried and proven to be best for naturalizing. 
Not all varieties of Daffodils are suitable for natur- 
alizing and a few which are either very early or very 
late, can only be used in such a manner, so as not to spoil 
the composition. These matters had best be taken up 
with us, when contemplating a natural planting of Daf- 
fodils. 
Many of the oldest standard varieties were elimin- 
ated in these listings, for the simple reason that we have 
numerous far superior varieties to choose from; never- 
theless you will find such old favorites as John Evelyn, 
Franciscus Drake, Irene Copeland, Fortune, and Beer- 
sheba, all close to 30 years old, still listed. 
Oh, hush my heart, and take thine ease, 
For here is April weather 
The Daffodils beneath the trees 
Are all a-row together.
