WHITE PRINCE (White Trumpet lc)
WILD ROSE (Large-cupped 2b) 4 (Brodie of Brodie). One of the brightest
pink cups in cultivation. The cup is a definite rosy pink to the base and the
flower is of medium size and nice form and proportion. Good doer and rapid

A very striking
5-6 (W. J. Dunlop).
decorative flower of almost startling brilliance which should prove of much
value for cutting and market when it becomes plentiful. Large spreading pure
white perianth and extremely bright deep crimson red crown of nice proportion.
Exceptionally vigorous and free of bloom and increase.
WILLOWFIELD (Small-cupped 3b)
WOODGREEN (Large-cupped 2b) i (W. J. Dunlop) I consider this to be much
the finest first-early Daffodil which i have seen to date opening here just after
Forerunner and well before any of the ordinary first-early varieties such as
Foresight. Bred from Brunswick x Parkmore, it is a flower of first-class quality
having broad smooth pure white perianth and well balanced crown which
approaches trumpet measurements. The crown is flushed and rimmed with
greenish lemon which becomes intensified as the flower develops. Its most
outstanding feature is its extreme earliness and should prove of immense value
as a market flower when available in quantity. Delightful in pots.
35p each, £3.15 per ten. 88tents each, $7.88 per ten
YELLOW IDOL (Yellow Trumpet la) 4 (J. L. Richardson). A magnificent large
flower almost five inches across raised from Pretoria x Cromarty with very broad
flat shovel pointed perianth segments of grand quality and substance. The long
trumpet is slightly bell-mouthed and nicely serrated at the edge. The whole
flower is uniform clear medium yellow. Tall strong robust plant.
ZERO (Large-cupped 2c) 2-3 (Guy L. Wilson). A glorious flower having very
large broad flat widespread perianth and beautiful vase-shaped crown with
slightly expanding bell mouth. The whole flower is purest icy-white throughout with lovely deep green perianth tube. Tall strong stem and good neck.
Splendid in pots.
