TRUTH (G. L. Wilson) 2c M. 22”. One of the finest white Daffodils 
on the market. The perianth is very broad and overlapping, be- 
ing of fine substance and satin smooth finish. The large crown 
is of trumpet character, and is very well proportioned. Superb 
when grown in pots. 70c each.

cupped variety, this is a borderline flower of very good quality.

new bicolor, with very broad, flat, smooth white perianth

bulb or two to spare. $40.00 each. 
TUNIS (Williams) 2b EM. 22”. A grand flower with large creamy

TUSKAR LIGHT (Richardson) 2b LM. 19”. A giant flower with 
wide spread, flat white perianth; big saucer shaped crown of 
yellow, broadly banded orange red. Very striking. Has one bad 
fault of facing downwards for the first few days after opening, 
but still well worthwhile. 90c each.

row perianth; its claim to beauty being in the very large ex- 
tremely heavily frilled light lemon crown. 40c each, 
WATERVILLE (Richardson) 2c LM. 20”. This one bears consid- 
erable likeness to Green Island but is still distinct. Very good.

lemon crown, which fades to almost white. 40c eacn.

tractive deep lemon yellow. 50c each. 
ZERO (G. L. Wilson) 2c E. 24”. A magnificent giant snowy white 
flower. Flat, overlapping perianth with pointed petals, and a 
long well balanced, nicely frilled crown. Is very white on first 
opening and lasts a long time. A really fine white Daffodil. 
$2.60 each. 
ZEST (Mitsch) 1b EM. 24”. A sister seedling to Silverdale. Very 
vigorous and prolific, making many blooms on long, strong

MIXTURES 
From our testing grounds, we have thousands of seedlings yearly 
which are of insufficient merit to warrant selection with a view to 
further observation and perhaps eventual introduction, and among 
these are many that are as fine as ordinary named varieties; some 
proving later to be better than some that were selected and moved 
to our secondary trial plantings. These bulbs are placed together 
and sold as our GENERAL MIXTURE. 
Out of the many seedlings grown, there are usually two to four 
hundred selected for further trial each year, but after from two 
to five or six years or even longer, most of these are deemed to be 
of insufficient merit, or not sufficiently distinct from the best 
varieties on the market or other seedlings still carried on, and 
these, which in most cases, have increased a great deal, are 
dumped together and offered now as our BETTER MIXTURE. 
Then there are a few seedlings that are especially striking or 
interesting for some reason from which we select one bulb of 
each to go into our SELECT MIXTURE. This was our Better 
Mixture of 1953. 
Having done a good deal of breeding for pinks, there are nat- 
urally hundreds of seedlings with more or less pink, salmon, buff, 
and apricot tones that have been selected over a period of years, 
most of which are obviously unworthy of introduction. Some of 
these will doubtless not show any pink tones in some localities and 
during some seasons, and it is possible that a few in the mixture 
may show no color under favorable conditions, but there are a 
great many very interesting flowers in this lot. They are offered 
for the first time this year as our PINK MIXTURE. 
In addition, we have a RED CUP MIXTURE, and SMALL CUP 
MIXTURE, the latter being largely Poeticus types. Much that is 
said about the PINK MIXTURE applies to these as well as there 
may be an occasional off colored or off-type flower in each group. 
These mixtures are offered as follows: 
GENERAL MIXTURE. 25 double nose bulbs for $3.00; $10.50 per 
100 prepaid. Round bulbs and large slabs, $6.50 per 100 prepaid. 
BETTER MIXTURE. $2.50 per dozen. 
SELECT MIXTURE. $3.50 per dozen; $6.50 per two dozen, all dif- 
ferent. 
PINK MIXTURE. $4.00 per dozen. 
RED CUP MIXTURE. $3.00 per dozen. 
SMALL CUP MIXTURE. $2.50 per dozen,
