g D&^odil& for BEAUTIFUL SPRING FLOWERS
Grown in the State of Washington
No garden is complete without a liberal
planting 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. (EE) Extra
Early; (E) Early; (M) Midseason; (L) Late.
All Daffodils listed are top quality, double nosed No. l's
unless otherwise noted. Prices quoted include delivery in
the Washington, D. C. metropolitan area.
