Daffodils and Waretssus 
Daffodil is the English name for the Narcissus. 
There are many flower shapes and combinations and 
many variations of the two main Daffodil colors, white 
and yellow. A few new introductions show light salmon- 
pink tints m their petals, and many have red in their 
cups. Read the descriptions carefully before making 
your choice of varieties. The classification given below 
will help you to distinguish the various classes. See 
planting Instructions on page 21. 
Revision of the Classification of Daffodils. In this catalog we 
have adopted the revised system for the classification of Daffodils 
and Narcissus proposed by the Royal Horticultural Society and for- 
mally approved by the General Bulb Growers Society of Haarlem 
(Holland) and the Daffodil Societies of America, Canada, Australia, 
Tasmania and New Zealand. 
The whole genus ts now classified in eleven Divisions as follows: 
Ia. Yellow Trumpets. 
Ib. Bicolor Trumpets. 
Ic. White Trumpets. 
Ila. Large-Cupped, yellow perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIb. Large-Cupped, white perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIc. Large-Cupped, white perianth, white cup or corona. 
IId. Large-Cupped, not falling m a, b, or c. 
IIIa. Small-Cupped, yellow perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIIb. Small-Cupped, white perianth, colored cup or corona. 
IIIc. Small-Cupped, white perianth, white cup or corona. 
IIId. Small-Cupped, not falling in a, b, or c. 
IV. Double Varieties. 
V. Triandrus Narcissus. 
VI. Cyclamineus Narcissus. 
VII. Jonquilla Narcissus. 
VIII. Tazetta Hybrids (Poetaz, etc.). 
IX. Poeticus Narcissus. 
X. Species and Wild Forms and Hybrids. 
XI. Miscellaneous Narcissus not falling into any of the foregoing 
Divisions. 
New bulbs are rarely ready before late September. Plant as early 
as possible for best results, although late planting is satisfactory. All 
varieties are hardy; in northern climates a mulch is assurance against 
freezing.
