(Not included in collection offered below) CHALICE-CUPorMEDIUM TRUMPET NARCISSI or DAFFODILS This class is also Icnown as the chalice-cup or medium trumpets, and com- prises some of the most beautiful and graceful forms. All are suitable for growing indoors in pots or pans, and are specially adapted for naturahzing, being of free growth and multiplying rapidly. They are becoming better known and more appreciated as newer varieties are offered, the red cups of many sorts add a brilliancy and brightness heretofore unknown excepting in the Poet's narcissus. Bath's Flame (Barrii). Yellow perianth, deep yellow cup with broad edge of orange-red. The petals are very long, giving the flowers a distinct and outstanding character. Double nosed bulbs. $ per doz.; $ per 100. Conspicuus (Barrii). Perianth soft yellow; broad spreading cup, magnificently illuminated with scarlet; a most distinct and beauti- ful sort, and should be grown in quantity for cutting, as it lasts longer when cut than most sorts. Double nosed bulbs. $ per doz.; $ per 100. Firebrand (Barrii). The combination of creamy white petals and glowing red fluted cups really suggests live bits of coal resting on sheer inflammable material. A smaU flower when compared to the latest introductions, but not inferior to any of the most expensive in brilliancy. V
