Our Daffodil Mixture for naturalizing is called The Works because that's what it is. This mixture is made up of top-size bulbs of no less than 30 varieties, never more than five of each, and is blended to provide the widest possible range of color, form, and blooming time. Included are classic Trumpets in shades of yellow, gold, cream, and white; Large Cups and Small Cups in great variety with wide petals and ruffled cups; members of the delicate and graceful Poeticus division; some Split-coronas; fragrant Jonquilla hybrids holding smaller flowers; and Tazetta hybrids bearing clusters of sweet flowers on each stalk. While the mixture changes from year to year to take advantage of the market, it always represents the best that this glorious genus has to offer. Our large bulbs produce more flowers with fewer misses their first year, then go busily about self-propagating in a site they like, actually adding to the show in future years. Exclusive.
The Works has been offered here for years and is the granddaddy of the Daffodil mixtures now offered in the trade. No one, anywhere, offers a mixture of top-size bulbs of recently named varieties in such profusion. If they did, they could not match our price, which reflects the economies of large-scale buying through our exclusive purchasing operation in Holland.
