Glory of Leiden. This grand variety has been well and deservedly named the "King of Daffodils," being one of the most massive of the Giant Trumpet varieties. The large trumpet is full, rich yellow, perianth pale yellow with occasional deeper yellow markings. Un- like many floral aristocrats it is of strong, vigorous habit and of the easiest culture, being just as much at home when grown in pots indoors as it is in the open ground. You cannot be con- sidered to have a good collection of Narcissus without Glory of Leiden. 12 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Super-Giant Trumpet Narcissus, Olymfia Olympia. This remarkably fine Daffodil might briefly be described as a greatly improved Emperor, being much larger in size and of a richer deeper color.

This is surely one of the coming Daffodils both for growing in pots indoors and for outdoor cultivation. 25 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Van Waveren's Giant.
