T)affodUs Direct from the Fields INCE we are situated right in the midst of the greatest Daffodil and Tulip growing section of America, we are in a position to supply our cus- tomers with a splendid assortment of these eagerly sought bulbs. Many of the Daffodils in our list this year are very rare and are available from very few sources. If you have never grown such things as Dick Wellbanci, Fortune, Beersheba, Carlton, Mrs. Back- house, Tunis or Mount Royal, you certainly should add a few to your garden this year. And such things as Campfire, Lady Kestevan, Sherman, Veronica, Hades, Eskimo and Scarlet Leader will simply bowl you over! Of course it is not within the means of everyone to afford many such novelties, but varieties like Actaea, Fire- tail, John Evelyn, Francisca Drake, Lovenest, Red Shadow and so on will give the uninitiated many a thrill at very reasonable cost. Daffodils are probably the most appreciated of all flowers. They bring the first real splash of color to the garden, and the familiar shades of yellow are now en- livened with orange, white, scarlet and cream . . . yes, and even pink! No orders accepted for Daf- fodils after October 15 th, but don't delay because you might find them all gone! We plant all unsold stock of Novelties after September 1st, so please have your order in before that date for varieties priced at $1.00 ea. or over. NO ORDER FOR DAFFODILS AND TULIPS COMBINED WILL BE SENT PREPAID UNLESS IT TOTALS $2.00 OR MORE. Please add 25c for partial trans- portation if less than $2.00. EXTRA BULBS SENT IF YOU PAY EXPRESS CHARGES! Narcissus, Daffodils, Jonquils The terms "Narcissus" and "Daffodils" are inter- changeable; there exists a tendency to apply the name "Daffodil" to the varieties in which the trumpet or crown is as large or larger than the petals (perianth); while the name "Narcissus" is usually used for the varieties having small cups or crowns. Jonquils are also a type of Narcissus; they usually bear their flowers in clusters and have rush-like foliage. Many of the Jonquil Hybrids have only the single flower and ordinary foliage. The name "Narcissus" is correct for any or all of the different types.
