She CNew Weather 
Proof Daffodils 
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 several of our cus- 
tomers 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 
transplanting to keep them blooming freely. Thirty flowers from 
6 bulbs the second year is a low average. 
Here is a selection of varieties which will give you a rich return 
in pleasure, we don’t hesitate to say for a lifetime. Each and every 
one offered is tops; differences in prices are only due to available 
supply. They multiply with great rapidity. Once planted they 
are there for keeps. 
Don’t miss planting these magnificent Weather-Proof Daffodils.
