Daffodils
FOREWORD
The daffodils which we offer have been selected with the greatest care, and only after exhaustive tests in respect to quality, profusion of bloom, good constitution and garden effect. They cover a wide range of beauty and show the sometimes striking, sometimes subtle variations in this fascinating flower.
Bulbs are guaranteed true to name, and a refund will be made in case error should occur.
We allow a discount of fifteen per cent on all orders, including collections for garden clubs, of fifty dollars or more. This discount does not apply to our special offer for naturalizing.
We carry no accounts and request our customers to send remittance with their orders.
"Lonely the wind walked yesterday Across an empty world and gray. Drifting the stars throughout the night. Lo! Tliis morning they alight,
Gay daffodils for our delight.”

The first two daffodils, EARLY VIRGINIA and BiFLORUS, have been natural* ized in Virginia for over two centuries. EARLY VIRGINIA is a charming, small, yellow trumpet. It is very free flowering when established and blooms ordinarily from two to three weeks before any other trumpet. BiFLORUS, on the other hand, is very, very late. There are two, creamy florets to a stem of this delightful Poetaz. It is heavily and deliciously scented.
ORNATUS is a Poeticus that is constantly being used, and with great suc¬ cess, for naturalizing. The flower has a pure white perianth and a scarlet rim to the little cup. It is the earliest of the Poets.
Bernardino for general excellence cannot be surpassed. It shows up well when used in masses as the flowers are borne on tall stems well above the foliage. The flowers are lovely — all white except for a distinct apricot edge on the flaring, frilled cup. BERNARDINO'S constitution is excellent and it is a rapid increaser. Midseason.
We also make an extraordinary offer at $10.00 per bushel, $3.25 per peck, of the following varieties: Sir Watkins, Emperor, White Lady, Queen of the North, Frank Miles, Evangeline, Recurvus and Laurens Koster. They will consist of rounds, small double-nosed and large slabs, all of which should bloom the next season after planting. The bulbs run about 700 to the bushel. These varieties can be ordered separately by the bushel or by the peck, or a mixture of all eight varieties can be ordered by the bushel.

Hemerocallis
FOREWORD
The great family of Hemerocallis ranging in height from six inches to five feet, in time of blooming from early May to late October, and in color range from palest yellow to deep red, has furnished plants known and loved in gardens for generations. They have offered fascinating possibilities to the hybridizer, and in the last twenty-five years remarkable results have been obtained.
The new hybrids, which far surpass the older varieties in beauty, have caused a veritable sensation in the gardening world. The range of color has been greatly extended and passes through every conceivable gradation and combination of soft yellow, brilliant gold, orange and pink, deepening to maroon. Their foliage is handsome and effective, and with their different habits and periods of bloom, their hardiness and their permanence, they are indispensable to the hardy border.
