NARCISSUS SPECIES 
This year we are adding a few to the list of species that we have 
been offering, and expect in the future to have more to offer. 
Some such as N. cyclamineus and N. minimus are considerably 
higher in price than imported bulbs but many of the latter are 
collected wild bulbs. We make no claims for the performance of 
ours but think they have a better chance of giving good bloom 
the first year than collected bulbs. Stocks are quite limited, and 
we hope to replant bulbs early. 
N. Bulbocodium conspicuus—The yellow hoop petticoat Daffo- 
dil. Narrow, inconspicuous petals and large trumpet. About 
8 inches. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen. 
N. Canaliculatus—A miniature “Chinese Lily” or tazetta hybrid. 
Small white flowers with yellow cups borne in clusters. Not a 
free bloomer everywhere. 10c each, $1.00 per dozen. 
N. cyclamineus—A perky little flower growing about six inches 
tall, with narrow, extremely reflexed perianth, and long trum- 
pet-like crown with flanged rim. Not happy everywhere but a 
delightful elfin flower where it succeeds. 50¢ each. 
N. Jonquilla simplex—Clusters of very sweetly scented small deep 
yellow flowers. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen. 
N. Juncifolius—A miniature jonquil with one to three tiny sweet 
scented blossoms on each stem. Comes easily from seed but 
usually not very long lived. 20¢ each. 
CATHEDRAL (Oregon Bulb Farms) 5a. A pretty pure white 
triandrus hybrid after the style of Moonshine, but much 
whiter. Rather short stemmed. Should be good for rock 
gardens. $6.00 each. 
FORTY-NINER (Oregon Bulb Farms) 5a. Light sulphur yel- 
low blooms very freely produced in clusters of three or 
four. $12.00 each. 
PINK CLOUD (Oregon Bulb Farms) 4. Perhaps the first 
double with any pink coloring. A combination of white 
and apricot pink petals. $9.00 each. 
RIOTOUS (Oregon Bulb Farms) 4. An early, tall large semi- 
double, deep yellow petals interspersed with sulphur yel- 
low. $5.00 each. 
DAFFODIL BOOKS 
There has been need for a complete, up-to-date, authoritative 
book of Daffodil culture, and such a volume is now available in 
“THE DAFFODIL”, by M. J. Jefferson-Brown. Well written and 
superbly illustrated, it is a comprehensive store of useful infor- 
mation for Daffodil fanciers, giving points on classification, cul- 
ture, exhibiting, and breeding, and many other interesting facts. 
The chapter on Dwarf Narcissi for the Rock Garden is particu- 
larly noteworthy, and those interested in hybridizing and bo- 
tanical structure and relationships among Daffodils should find 
the section on cytology useful. All in all, a splendid addition to any 
Daffodil fancier’s library. We expect to keep a few copies on hand 
but if many orders are received, there may be some delay in re- 
plenishing our stocks from England. Price, $4.50 per copy. 
“DAFFODILS FOR AMATEURS”, a smaller book by the same 
author, is designed to aid less experienced Daffodil growers in 
their problems of culture, both in the garden and with potted 
Mew De Graaf, Daffodils 
Orders for any of the above should be placed before August 
stock we sell but must have your orders for these early in order to procure bulbs. 
N. Maximus superbus—Botanically this is N. hispanicus, the giant 
of the trumpet species. The ancestor of most modern yellow 
trumpets. 15c¢ each. 
N. minimus (asturiensis)—The smallest of the trumpet Daffodils. 
A real treasure. Considerable variation in form. Clear pure yel- 
low. 3 inches. 50c each. 
N. minor—Another little trumpet growing to about four inches. 
Very few to spare. 50c each. 
N. nanus—Very nicely formed with flat, smooth perianth. Rapid 
increaser but not always free in bloom. About 8 inches high. 
50¢c each. 
N. pumilus—Next to minor in size. A very few to go. 50c each. 
N. Pumilus plenus—A double form of one of the dwarf species. 
Very double flowers resembling a giant dandelion with some 
green petals. Not pretty, but a curious little flower. 50c each. 
N. watieri—Similar to N. juncifolius in form, but a little larger, 
pure white, and with but one flower to a stem. One of the love- 
liest of all the little ones. 50c each. 
O fateful flower beside the rill— 
The Daffodil, the Daffodil! 
—Ingelow 
ROMAN CANDLE (Oregon Bulb Farms) 2b. A large flower 
with rounded white perianth, and large crown that opens 
apricot pink, developing to richer pink. $8.00 each. 
SUNBURST (Oregon Bulb Farms) 4. The giant of all the 
doubles. Enormous peony-type flowers on tall stems with 
petals of sulphur yellow interspersed with deep yellow. 
If you like doubles and want big ones, this is the one to 
plant. $12.00 each. 
WINDBLOWN (Oregon Bulb Farms) 4. Still another double, 
this being a good quality flower with white perianth and 
rather loosely knit center of ruffled white and butter yel- 
low petals. One of the best of the large doubles. $5.00 
each. 
1st as we carry little stock. We grow virtually all other 
bulbs. This should serve those who do not have need for the more 
comprehensive work described above. $1.35 per copy. 
1955 DAFFODIL AND TULIP YEARBOOK of the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society of England — $2.00 per copy, prepaid.
