JOHN EVELYN. (2b) One of the finest. Deservedly an 
international favorite; outstanding among the Incom- 
parabilis hybrids, Flat-opening perianth, 4 to 6 inches 
across, with a flat cup nearly 2 inches in diameter, 
densely frilled, the perianth being pure white, without 
any trace of shading; the cup lemon-yellow and fluted, 
or shirred to the base; strong grower; free-flowering 
and a good propagator; one of the great Daffodils of the 
present day. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustra- 
tion, page 17. 
LA ARGENTINA. (2b) This is a very novel variety. Large 
broad white perianth that is well formed; the cup is 
white and heavily frilled and marked with radiating 
stripes of yellow and orange; like the spokes in a wheel. 
Very charming. See illustration right. $2.75 for 10; $25.00 
per LOO. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE, (2b) This famous flower, of 
delicate distinction, is most unusual and charming in 
color. Its flaring, informal perianth of ivory-white holds 
forth a beautiful, finely proportioned, slim, long trumpet 
of clear pale apricot at the deeply fringed edges. Deli- 
cately beautiful but of exceptional substance and long 
lasting. Like many of the white Trumpets it nods slightly, 
and the wonderful hue of the trumpet and the partly 
reflexed perianth make it a most uncommon and delight- 
ful Daffodil, one of those treasures which a collector 
loves to possess. $2.45 for 10; $22.00 per 100. See illus- 
tration, Color Guide. 
PLUVIUS. (2a) This is a giant flower. A new intro- 
duction from that famous “Backhouse” Hybridist. The 
perianth is golden yellow, star shaped with petals artis- 
tically arranged. The trumpet is long serated and ruffled 
at the edges of flaming orange. Colorful and outstanding 
in the garden. Always a prize winner. $3.75 for 10; 
$35.00 per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
WHITE NILE. (2c) Perianth is pure white; the larger 
saucer shaped cup opens a delicate pale primrose which 
quickly turns pure white. Very fine variety; excellent for 
naturalizing. $1.95 for 10; $17.00 per 100. 
DIVISION 3—SMALL-CUPPED

Large-Cupped “LA ARGENTINA”

orange-red cup. Very large and commanding flower. 
a for 10; $19.00 per 100. See illustration, Color 
uide. 
MRS. NETTE O’MELVENY. (3b) Sure the “little people” 
must have been abroad frolicking in the moonlight when 
this fairy flower was born; a dancing Daffodil with pure 
white perianth and a cup of clear lemon-yellow, with 
orange picotee. Splendid foliage, tall graceful stem and 
good neck; in every way a delightful flower. $1.85 for 
10; $16.00 per 100. 
POLAR ICE. (3c) A pure white variety in this type is un- 
usual. The flat pure white crown is shaded icy green at 
the center; perianth pure white and overlapping. A very 
charming effect. Award of Merit Haarlem, Holland and 
always a prize winner at other shows. $3.25 for 10; $30.00 
per 100. 
POMONA. (3b) Pure white, wax-like perianth with 
delightfully arranged petals overlapping to form a com- 
plete circle. Flat citron-yellow cup, flushed apricot with 
a small orange border. Beautiful. $1.85 for 10; $16.00 
per 100. See illustration, Color Guide.
