American-Grown DAFFODILS OR NARCISSUS No garden is complete without a liberal plant- ing of Daffodils or Narcissus. Perfectly hardy, they grow and produce abundantly in almost any position, sun or shade, moist or dry. They are equally suited to pot-culture for winter flowering and are unsurpassed for naturalizing. Note. The trumpet, crown, or cup is the center of the flower; the perianth is the surrounding row of petals or wings. All No. 1, Double Nose, First Quality Bulbs. Large yellow Single Trumpet Varieties Ben Hur. A glorious "loud speaker" trumpet, deeply frilled, of pure Roman gold, IY2 inches across at the mouth; in spite of its immense size the whole flower is finely proportioned, one of the best of the new giant trumpets. 30c. each; $2.75 for 10; $22.50 per 100. Emperor. This is one of the finest Daffodils in cultivation. Pure yellow trumpet of immense size; wide, overlapping, rich primrose perianth. 20 in. 20c. each; $1.75 for 10; $13.50 per 100.

Valuable exhibition variety. 20c. each; $1.75 for 10; $16.00 per 100. Bicolor Single Trumpet Varieties Lovenest.
