GREETINGS from OAKWOOD DAFFODILS! APRIL 2018

Welcome to Oakwood Daffodil’s 35th annual listing of Midwestern-raised, bred, and acclimatized daffodils. I have grown daffodils on a singular basis since 1971 and bred them on a regular basis since 1976. I can proudly state that I have the largest collection of Narcissus hybrids in diversity, quality, and quantity, in the United States. I have tried to offer the American gardener and daffodil lovers worldwide the greatest chance of enjoying their favorite flower. Midwestern-grown daffodils will do better in most of the USA and better than those from other climates and countries. While emphasis is on Midwestern varieties, I am also listing bulbs from Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. My daffodil list is sent out by email and snail mail, to those who require that service. You can find my catalog on the American Daffodil Society’s (ADS) web page under the specialty bulb grower section. Contacting us directly is always acceptable, too. Bulbs are dug to order in late May and June, and then shipped in late September and October, thus it is important to order early. As I write this we are experiencing the mildest winter since 1982-83. Record flooding is occurring in our rivers with much damage being done. This last year has been difficult health-wise; my recovery has been difficult and discouraging, but we are still at it. Julie Martin is my care giver, while also providing most of the work on the daffodils. Without Julie there would be no Oakwood Daffodils. Julie carries on with the duties here at Oakwood, undaunted. My variety ‘Juergen’ 1Y-Y was awarded two Best in Show winnings last year. It will soon be the standard for its class. It has been withdrawn this year due to high demand last year. However, ‘Tristan’s Memory’ will be offered; it too has won many Best in Show awards in the past. Significant advances in many areas of color, form, and size are being made at Oakwood Daffodils; of note, advances continue with brilliant large 2W-Rs, and a super-smooth yellow trumpet daffodil more appropriately described as gold-gold. Another seedling that sticks in my mind is a brilliantly colored 3W-R that came from my ‘Maraschino Cherry’. 1W-Ys continue to improve, but ‘Windy City’ still reigns as the best and most vigorous. It won the Australian Best in Show on its first showing in 2014, shown by the late Ian Dyson. This indicates how universally good this flower is. We will once again have a show at the Fernwood Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve, on April 21-22. During last year’s show, one of my 2W-P seedlings won Best in Show, and best seedling also; it has been registered ‘Fernwood’. Join us and savor our beauties. Help the daffodil world and the ADS grow stronger and show more of these attractive flowers. Please take note of the final dates for ordering bulbs as we try to stop digging by the end of June. Sorry, but no credit cards are accepted at this time. Orders are taken in sequence by the date received. We have also added hyperlinks to the names and by double clicking on the name it will send you to Daffseek, where you can see pictures of the flowers as they are available.

Our best wishes,

John Reed, D.O. Julie Martin

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING

1. All orders must be received by July 1st, 2018 to be assured availability. AFTER THAT DATE, up until shipping has started, orders will be accepted and filled according to availability. You will receive an acknowledgment of your order as they are processed, either by e-mail or phone (if we have your e-mail address or phone number).

2. Please make checks payable to OAKWOOD DAFFODILS. We are sorry, but due to rising costs of credit card processing, we are unable to accept credit cards.

3. Bulbs will be shipped via USPS unless otherwise specified, so please include your COMPLETE shipping address. We are basing our shipping charges on the cost of the USPS medium flat-rate box. This has been our most common box size over the last few years. As usual, we always give gratis bulbs with your orders. For those smaller orders, we will give additional free bulbs to compensate for the additional shipping charge. If you have any concerns or problems with this, please let us know. This is being done to simplify the shipping expenses to you. Overseas shipping will be billed at cost, plus the phytosanitary certificate and inspection fees.

4. Bulb shipments will hopefully be finished by the third week of September; sooner, if possible. Please specify if you require a particular shipping date and we will do our best to accommodate.

5. Visitors are welcome, but please make arrangements in advance to avoid disappointment due to variation in blooming or unfavorable weather.

TELEPHONE: (269) 684-3327 FAX: 269-684-0738 EMAIL: [email protected]

6. You will receive information about planting and care for your bulbs with your order. Please note that they should be in a location that receives natural rainfall that drains off quickly. Daffodils do not like wet feet!

7. The format used in this catalog lists the daffodil’s registered name, followed by its classification and color code, then its hybridizer and country of origin. After the description, the pedigree (seed parent x pollen parent) is listed, then its flowering time, and then the price for each bulb.

8. As a professional courtesy to our dear colleagues, we include in our listing a special list of bulbs offered by Larry Wier and Larry Force; you can find these at the end of this list. Larry Weir personally oversees the growing, packaging, and posting of his own bulbs. Please send your order and payment, and any questions, directly to Larry via his contact information included on his order form. Thank you.

MY GOODNESS 2Y-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) Very similar to it sibling, ‘Goodness Gracious’ it’s just not as wide in the petals. Flat, smooth perianth and a corona of deep pink color. Quite impressive! (2Y-P seedling x Pink Sun) Midseason $70.00

SHAW’S LEGACY 9W-GYO (Larry Force, USA) Great addition to provide color and interest to miniature collections. Included on the ADS miniature list. Forty-three mm, overlapping, smooth petals. Disc-shaped corona, yellow with green at base and a strong orange rim. Selected from and named in honor of Shaw Nature Reserve, located in Gray Summit, Missouri. Was SNR3M. Late Season $45.00

GENERAL DAFFODIL LISTING FOR 2018

AL LAUREYS 3Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the smoothest small cupped 3Y-R I have flowered. Of smaller size, the smooth flat perianth segments are positioned in the same plane with excellent poise. Named for Al a friend that helped me so much with the daffodils for 10 years. Al was always there when I needed him. Though of slight build his heart was huge and the best! Was Reed seedling 92-106-1. (Sabine Silk x Burning Bush?) Late Midseason $10.00

AMBERGRIS CAYE 1YYG-Y A large unusually colored trumpet. Stems are strong but just medium tall. It is similar to its seed parent but more intensely colored. It is show flower and breeder. It is very scares with beautiful massive petal breadth and overlap. (Clouded Yellow x Lemon Snow) Midseason $8.00

AMERICAN COWBOY 2Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Peter Ramsay and I made this cross at about the same time. This is probably the best early well-formed and colored show flower that I selected from the cross. Held high with excellent poise and strong stems. The colors are quite intense. An improvement over both its parents. Stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 98-1-1. (Cowboy x Loch Lundie) Early season $25.00

AMERICAN GOLD 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) A tall, robust, smooth yellow trumpet that shouts out that it is the best. Named for the Gold Medals won by American athletes in the last Olympics. Outstanding poise, overlap, smoothness, color and size make it easy to identify in the field. Was Reed seedling 93-1-23. (Celtic Gold x Dream Prince) Early Season $9.00

AMERICAN HERO 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Since the tragedy of 9-11, the patriotism that our fire, police, medics and military give to our country and us on a daily basis has never been more evident. This flower is a bold statement of appreciation for their sacrifices. A truly unique daffodil with tall stems and large flowers with a long corona of dramatic coloring and poise. It is marvelous to view in a well-grown clump. For show and garden. (I wish it could flower on the Fourth of July, too!) Great breeder and very healthy, simply breathtaking! Was Reed seedling 89-50-1. Culmination x Ruby Red Late Midseason $5.00

AMERICAN IDOL 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is that most vigorous selection from the cross of Quasar and Culmination. It is very healthy, free flowering with large flowers that are displayed on tall strong stems. With its wide smooth flat perianth, it can be shown and is marvelous in the garden too, with its bright open red cup. Was Reed 93-10-4. (Quasar x Culmination) Early Midseason $6.00

AMERICAN SHOW GIRL 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) A well-poised, tall, very smooth show flower. Considered my best show pink by many ADS Judges. Very healthy and a strong grower. Was Reed seedling 90-95-1. (Fragrant Rose x Culmination) Late Midseason $8.00

ASHTON WOLD 2W-W (John Pearson, ENG,UK) Many show awards in the UK. Beautiful flowers here with vigorous growth, and tall strong stems. (Stoke Charity x Panache) Midseason $6.00

AT LAST 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) This was the best selection from the crosses made from Fragrant Rose x Culmination. It was also the latest flowering and the slowest to increase here, hence the name. Bright red open cups show well against very white, wide, smooth, overlapping petals and the flowers face upward. Fertile. A must for late shows. Was Reed seedling 90-95-2. (Fragrant Rose x Culmination) Late Season $20.00

BACK FLASH 2W-YYO (Dr. John Reed, USA) An excellent flower for show and garden. Vigorous. It may exhibit an orange rim at times. Was Reed seedling 81-21-1. (Green Island x Flash Affair) Midseason $5.00

BANKER 2Y-O (David Jackson, AUS) Consistently one of the most outstanding show daffodils with many Best in Show awards. The corona is usually more often a deep golden color than orange as it grows here. The petals are very smooth and overlapping with the entire flower being held upright with a strong stem. (Scipio x Seedling) Midseason $8.00

BARNESGOLD 1Y-Y (B. S. Duncan, N. IRE,UK) I prefer this of all of Brian’s yellow trumpets. It is the parent of my best dark gold trumpet to date. Tall stems support rounded flowers with excellent poise. (Golden Jewel x Midas Touch) Late Midseason $5.00

BEAUTY REST 2W-P (Dr. John Reed. USA) Registered in 2009 but has been neglected when preparing my catalog. Big blooms are held high on strong stems with excellent poise. The color of the corona is a very pure pink and the petals very white with good overlap and smoothness. A beautiful flower for show and garden. Was Reed seedling 95-40-2. (Brian’s Favorite x Lawless) Midseason $6.00

BENTON HARBOR 2Y-P ((Dr. John Reed, USA) On first flowering this was the best show quality reverse bicolor daffodil I had raised. Alas the stems are short and it has been seed sterile too. The wide over lapping petals are very contrasted compared to the corona. Strong stems support the large flowers well with a straight ahead poise. Was Reed seedling 90-95-1. (Fragrant Rose x Culmination) Midseason $20.00

BERCEUSE 2W-P (Grant E. Mitsch, USA) For show and a fine garden plant. A strong grower and floriferous. [(Melody Lane x Rose Caprice) x (Carita x Accent)] Midseason $5.00

BIG MO 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) The finest flower from a prolific small cross. Very smooth, large blooms verging on a subtle shade of orange as the flowers age. It has had good reviews from Ohio and New Zealand, too. Named for my father, M.O. “Mo” Reed and the greatest United States battleship, The USS Missouri (“MO”). A top-quality show bloom. A slower increaser than its sibling, ‘Dr. David Hough’. Was Reed seedling 83-40-1. (Gold Bullion x Gold Convention) Midseason $6.00

BIOMETRICS 2 Y-O (Richard & Elise Havens, USA) Sibling to ‘Flint Arrow’ and ‘Velocity’, but with a non-reflexed perianth registered as division 2. Intermediate show flower. (Jetfire x Gypsy) Early Season $7.00

BRIERGLASS 2W-GWW (John Lea, ENG,UK) A very white round early show flower. Parent of ‘David Adams’ from Charles Wheatley. (Ashmore x Croila) Early Midseason $4.00

5 6

BURNING BUSH 3Y-R (Brian S Duncan, NIre,UK) A truly outstanding daffodil for the garden and show. Intense colors and long stems make it standout. Proving to be a good parent and an excellent show flower. Makes smaller bulbs. My favorite Brian Duncan daffodil. [(Rockhill x Bunclody) x (Altruist x Ulster Bank)] Late Midseason $6.00

BURR OAK 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) A number of seedlings were planted adjacent to one of the great trees at Oakwood Daffodils by my helpers when I had major health issues and was not able to do it myself. When they planted the bulbs they failed to make planting diagrams and used ink labels that faded quickly. This probably was a 1997 seedling, possibly related to ‘Crimson Beauty’. Evaluated over the years this selection showed more staying power in bad weather, and overall superior qualities to its stem and flower. Originally called “Red Oak” by me but the name was taken. It has smooth overlapping white petals all in the same plane held on tall, strong stems above the foliage with glorious red cups. These qualities have been hard to get in 2W-R daffodils. Stock is still small and it will be in demand for a long time. Was Reed seedling “Red Oak”. Not released until 2016. (Unknown 1997cross) Midseason $25.00

BUTLER UNIVERSITY 3Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Considered one of my best 3Y-Rs. It has tall, strong stems with excellent large show flowers. They are smooth with heavy substance and excellent poise. Was Reed seedling 92-80-2. (Kinsman x Suntory) Midseason $6.00

BUTTER SILK 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) I was taken by this flower’s bright yellow color and extreme petal smoothness when I first saw it, hence the name. It has excellent petal overlap and a strong medium length stem. Admired by Larry Weir at his place. It is giving excellent seedlings including my best-ever pale 1Y-Y for show. Was Reed seedling 92-22-1. (Camelot x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $7.00

CAMEO GOSSIP 2Y-R (Spud Brogden, NZ) Tall, vigorous, and colorful. Can be shown at times. Limited Stock. (Red Cameo x Kiwi Gossip) Midseason $5.00

CAMEO JOY 2 Y-R (Peter Ramsay, N.I, NZ) The best of Peter’s yellow-red daffodils as they grow here. An outstanding show flower! (Loch Carron x Dynasty) Midseason $12.00

CANISP 2 W-W (John S.B Lea, Eng, UK) An older British show winner of trumpet proportions. Sublime! (Ave x Early Mist) Early Midseason $6.00

CAPTAIN AMERICA 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Appropriately named for a super hero. Tall stems and wide petals are a foil for an amazing large deep red cup. It can be shown. Striking in the garden. Pollen is fertile and occasionally sets seed, too. Wind protection gives smoother, taller blooms. The red color fades with time, especially in the sun. Was Reed seedling 95-5-1. (Cordial x Magician) Midseason $19.00

CARACAS 2 O-O (J. Lionel Richardson, Ireland) A hot flower /smooth. A super breeder for an orange trumpets. (Fire Cracker x Spelter) Midseason $7.00

CARROT JUICE 1O-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) I could not take my eyes off this when it first flowered. While smaller than average, its petals were a uniform shade of light orange. I could see no yellow in the petals with my eyes. This is not a suffusion or a sheen. While this is not a top show flower, it is showable at its best. It is a real color break and its color is being passed on to its seedlings which are of a higher quality, too! Was Reed seedling 96-18-1. [78-17-3N (Trumpet Call x Orange Way) x 82-108-4 (Zuni x Glenfarclas)] Early Midseason $12.00

CASSOPOLIS 2Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Possible my best 2Y-R, this is a well-engineered daffodil with an exemplary smooth very flat wide perianth supported by a strong stem and neck. A row of blooms is almost military-like in their bearing. Alas, the deep colored cylinder-like cup burns easily and needs protection for show. It can flush the petals with red at times. Named for a local Michigan town where I have purchased my Ford trucks. Was Reed seedling 82-200-3.

6 7 [(Air Marshall x Caracas) x Creag Dubh] Early Midseason $5.00

CEDAR HILLS 3W-GYY (Mitsch & Havens, USA) This sets the standard for beauty and quality in the late division threes. A show and garden flower of the highest caliber. Tall stems support the very large flowers with excellent poise, and color contrast. (Impala x Green Hills) Very Late Season $5.00

CELTIC PRINCE 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This smaller 1Y-Y, possibly an intermediate, has consistently given superb well-formed yellow flowers while being down for eight years. It has freely open pollinated every year, too, perhaps because the bees like it so well, too? This is from the reciprocal cross of ‘Millennium Perfection’. Was Reed seedling 87-40-2. (Dream Prince x Celtic Gold) Early Midseason $5.00

CHANGING DAY 1Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) An outstanding advance in yellow-red show quality trumpets. When it first flowered I knew it was a “Changing Day” in my breeding of red trumpets. Its perianth form is always superb and the colors are usually excellent. Bred from two seedlings chosen for color and form. Was Reed seedling 98-105-1. (Turk x 89-122-5 [Glenfarclas x 81-7-1 (Vulcan x Sutton Court)]) Early Midseason $25.00 CHELAN 2 Y-W (Murray Evans, USA) Murray Evans’s best reverse bicolor. A very vigorous grower with a smooth perianth. Regular show winner here. (Daydream x Bethany) Midseason $7.00

CHICAGO GOLD 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) The original label states “ultra smooth” and “deep gold.” It has consistently done this since its first flowering here. Of the highest quality for exhibition, and also for the garden and breeding. The flowers are smaller than average. I find myself staring at it when I walk by it, even when the flowers are gone! Named in honor of the helpful members of the Chicago Daffodil Society. Stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 93-1-2. (Celtic Gold x Dream Prince) Early Season $7.00

CHICAGO GOLD COAST 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for the ritzy area of Lakeshore Drive in Chicago with high-end apartments and homes. This flower is similar to ‘Chicago Gold’ but slightly deeper in color and the petals are not as wide. Stock has increased enough to finally offer it. An excellent show flower of medium size. Was Reed seedling 93-1-7. (Celtic Gold x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $7.00

CHICAGO HOPE 1Y-GYY (Dr. John Reed, USA) The name says it all. Besides using the famous TV show’s title, I had hoped that it would win the Rose Ribbon when shown some years ago in Chicago. But that honor went to a sibling of ‘Haunting’. It is a well-balanced, medium sized, smooth yellow trumpet capable of giving superb blooms. The smooth overlapping wide petals were inherited from ‘Dream Prince’ and the vigor imparted from ‘Golden Jewel’. Proving to be a very good breeder, too. Was Reed seedling 85-7-2. (Golden Jewel x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $6.00

CLERIC 2 W-YYW (Dr. John Reed, USA) A very refined “White Collar” daffodil of trumpet character, measuring division 2 by only 2mm. Smooth, wide, overlapping petals are the backing for a light yellow trumpet-shaped corona that has a wide band of white at its edge. Upfacing with strong stems. Every bloom fit for show. Named for its white collar, like a priest’s. Was Reed seedling 98-26-20/4A.

(Irish Affair x Three Oaks) Midseason $17.00

CLOUD NINE 2YYYW-W (Grant E. Mitsch, USA) Rot resistant and a strong grower. A very smooth show flower. One of Grant Mitsch’s overlooked beauties. (Quick Step x Daydream Mid Late season $7.00

COPPER MINE 2O-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) When initially seen I was hard-pressed to code the petal color. Not a yellow but not a true red, either. The flower has become bigger, stronger and brighter as the stock as grown. Still scarce but very desirable for showing and breeding. Tall stems and large flowers guide your eyes to it! Was Reed seedling 97-104-1. (Cowboy x Burning Bush) Midseason $32.00

7 8

CREATION 1W-W (Grant E. Mitsch, USA) This is the most vigorous, non-rotting, early show-quality white trumpet here. The trumpet is flanged and the flower is fertile. [(Trousseau x Paradise) x (Seedling A39/1 x Panache]) Early Season $5.00

CRIMSON BEAUTY 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Bulbs of this were given to Larry Force to try in his Mississippi climate. Shown the following spring at the ADS National Show by Larry, it took first place in the single bloom class for its colors and size. It caught the eye of many exhibitors, including David Burdick. David stated the color of the large cup “Shouted across the room!” getting his attention. The blooms have overlapping wide, very white and smooth petals, all in the same plane with a strong neck and upward poise. A healthy grower. Name was chosen by Larry Force. Was Reed seedling 97-86-1. [(Decoy X Culmination) X Magician] Late Midseason $16.00

CRIMSON PRINCESS 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) A very large flower on medium, strong stems with good poise and petal overlap. Good for show and garden. Was Reed seedling 97-101-2. (Magician x Candy Man) Midseason $22.00

CULVER 3Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This the second of the next generation bred from ‘Haunting’, but much smoother and larger. Similar but distinctive from ‘Shipshewana’, which increases faster. Named for a local town south of us in Indiana and home of Culver Military Academy. Petals are well rounded with excellent overlap and are silky smooth. Poise and stems are very good and strong. Was Reed seedling 99-24-3. (Get Away x Haunting) Midseason $24.00

DARKER SHADE 3Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is a strong growing, tall flower with a strong stem, and an outward facing poise. Originally I wanted to name it ‘Honeydew’, but the name was taken. It reminds me of the color of that melon, not quite yellow or green. The color develops from off-white initially. The form is similar to its pod parent ‘Irish Mint’. An intriguing and lovely bloom of medium size. Was Reed seedling 98-125-10. (Irish Mint x Green Hope) Early Late Season $35.00

Dr. POL 2W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named to honor a popular veterinarian in central Michigan and the star of a reality T.V show “The Incredible Dr. Pol”. I’ve come to the admire him and enjoy his shows, now over 100! Originally from Holland, his family and crew provide service to a large rural area. This is a really strong-growing 2W-O here. Its corona is of trumpet character. Very vigorous and free- flowering, and of show quality. Was Reed seedling 98-32-10. Name pending. (Orange Tint x Lutana) Early Season $20.00

DENIS DAILY 2O-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for our Oakwood guest, friend, and a major figure in the Minnesota Daffodil Society until his untimely passing in 2012. Bred to put a color-fastness gene into ‘Sabine Hay’. A large, round flower that needs protection for its best color, which is strong and distinct. Potential breeder. Was Reed seedling 87-9-1. (Spelter x Sabine Hay) Midseason $7.00

DIANA’S SONG 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) This name was used to honor Princess Diana, because England’s Rose (Elton John’s song honoring her) was not allowed by the International Plant Naming Societies. The smoothest petals of any daffodil in the cross and with beautiful colors. A great show flower, I had inadvertently left out of the catalog the last couple of years. Was Reed seedling 90-5-1 (Valinor x Verran Rose) Late $10.00

DINGUS DAY 2W-P(R) (Dr. John Reed, USA) After the original cross made in 1988 flowered, it was repeated with even better results in 1994. This flower has better form and is more consistent in its intense cup color, ranging from deep pink to red-pink. A most imposing flower supported with tall stems here. It has been in bloom on Dingus Day (the Monday after Easter Sunday), a Polish holiday celebrated in South Bend, Indiana annually by politicians with beer, Polish sausage, and speeches. Was Reed seedling 94-14-1. (Dear Me x Culmination ) Early Midseason $10.00

8 9

EDIE 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for our wonderful daffodil helper, Edie Godfrey. She has been there to help, especially with sending out orders. Edie actually was at my bedside to help when I had a pulmonary embolism. This is my first very pure pink cup named from ‘Lavender Hope’. The stems are long, supporting pure pink cups against white overlapping petals. It is showable and fertile. This is the flower you want if you desire REAL, in this climate, PINK COLOR. See Daffseek photo. Was Reed seedling 97-76-1. (Lawless x Lavender Hope) Midseason $18.00

ENERGIZER 2O-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Early in my breeding I was determined to improve the all-orange-red daffodils by breeding and selecting for more color intensity and colorfastness as they flower here. My early seedlings and those of Brian Duncan’s from ‘Altruist’ would only show a deep perianth color in the best of seasons and none ever showed the intensity that ‘Gypsy’ or ‘Fiery Flame’ did in Oregon. Only two selections were kept from this intensely “hot” cross and this one has demonstrated the best combination of form and color resistance here. Hopefully its name says it all. Like the little pink bunny with its beating drums it will energize your spring garden, show table and breeding program. Increase has been slow. Was Reed seedling 87-6-2. (Sabine Hay x Stylish) Early Midseason $9.00

FLAMING SILK 1W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) It seemed logical to cross ‘Pink Silk’ and ‘Magician’ to get a 1W-R flowers. This is the only one in two cross attempts that measured division 1. The cross was made both ways, too. ‘Magician’ gave the best flowers as a seed parent. Its color is not the ultimate red, but it is a very good starting point. Strong, tall stems support large flowers of show quality with an excellent poise. The bulbs are healthy and it is fertile both ways. Was seedling Reed seedling 94-8-1. (Magician x Pink Silk) Midseason $28.00

FLORIDA ORANGE 2W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) The first of the “near-trumpet” 1 W-O crosses to be released. This is a strong and vigorous growing, well-contrasted 2W-O with strong stems. The flowers are bright with a trumpet-shaped corona of strong orange against the very white petals. Petals are overlapping, wide, and all in one plane. The poise is excellent. Stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 98-48-1. (Ivory Orange x Carrot Top) Early Midseason $22.00

FLUSHER 2O-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) From my first cross to get an orange-petaled orange trumpet. Two of 120 flowers showed some color in the petals. Alas, the slowest growing one was the best colored one! Of trumpet character and form, it usually has some degree of petal flush. The stems are tall but not as strong as I would like. The corona measures 30 mm and the petals 36 mm. (Note: most of my daffodils will grow bigger in a protected watered area. All the flowers measured here are grown in the fields). The petals have good overlap and excellent poise. I did not breed with it until I actually flowered a 1O-O. Was Reed seedling 84-79-2. (Glenfarclas x Creag Dubh) Early Midseason $8.00

FORT MITCHELL 1W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named in honor of the site of the 2002 ADS National Show where it beat many well-known flowers in its single bloom class. Its perfection and smoothness cried out for being exhibited so it was removed from our trade stand to win the single bloom award. It was cut from the open windswept field of ten acres. It was beautiful with its chaste smooth flat perianth and its mid-yellow trumpet. Every bloom was identical. Very consistent! Also a vigorous, good increaser. Was Reed seedling 81-107-1. (Cool Contrast x ? --possibly Flash Affair) Early Midseason $5.00

FOX FIRE 2W-GWO (Murray Evans, USA) A regular show winner, very well colored and smooth. Murray Evans’s best division 3. Limerick x (Shirley Weale x Chinese White) Midseason $6.00

GREAT SCOTT 2 W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) Tall stems hold a large flower with a wide bowl-shaped cup that is a strong shade of orange. This is strictly a flower for the garden or breeding. A slow grower. Was Reed seedling 80-41-1. (Kilworth x Johann Strauss) Midseason $10.00

GREEN ENVY 3W-GWW (Dr. John Reed, USA)

9 10 Combining the better qualities of its parents, we have a tall, well-formed late white that consistently has a deep, green eye to the small spreading slightly frilled cup. A strong plant that multiplies very well and is later than the much smaller ‘Jade’. The really deep, mossy green center when seen can make one green with envy. Was Reed seedling 91-73-2. (Limey Circle x Dunley Hall) Very Late Season $6.00

GREEN HILLS 3W-GGY (Guy Wilson, UK) It’s smooth and has great substance, with a verdant green corona rimmed in lemon or pale gold around. Frilled. Fertile both ways. (Mayness x Portush) Late $6.00

GUY WILSON 2W-W (AJR Pearson, ENG) This is the best formed 2W-W of John Pearson’s breeding. A beautiful show flower of the best caliber. I do wish the stems were taller. Scarce. (Stoke Charity x Panache) Midseason $20.00

HALF MAGIC 3Y-GYY (Dr.John Reed, USA) The large, smooth, over-lapping blooms are carried on tall stems. It changes from white to pail-yellow as it ages. Still a lovely show flower. Named for a wonderful book from my childhood. Was Reed seedling 85-26-6. (Angel x Misty Glen) Late Midseason $21.00

HALOGEN 2Y-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the best, brightly contrasted, large cup reverse bicolor that I have raised. It takes several days to develop its intense, luminous color. The DaffSeek photos speak loudly for themselves. Fertile both ways. Was Reed seedling 98-180-1. (Impressive Dream x Altuna Ha) Midseason $30.00

HANKY PANKY 11aY-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for a rock ‘n roll song by Tommy James, originally from Niles, Michigan. A great improvement over ‘King Size’. Has won its class in the ADS National Show. Good breeder. Was Reed seedling 90-29-1.

(King Size x Dream Prince) Midseason $6.00

HAUNTING 3Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) The name says it all! I marked ‘Haunting’ on the plastic label I staked it with when I first saw it in bloom that warm breezy late spring day. It appeared hauntingly beautiful then and it continues to be the best 3Y-Y that I have grown for show. Pictured in the March 2003 ADS advertisement for Oakwood Daffodils. Perfect balance, form, stem, neck, poise and petals. Almost a perfect uniform shade of yellow. Was Reed seedling 84-41-2. (Emily x Minster Lodge) Late Season $7.00

HEAVEN’S GATE 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) This daffodil is all about color. Flamboyant rose-red, narrow corona with an expanding circular edge giving it the appearance of a trumpet. The petals are well formed and overlapping with strong stems supporting large blooms with good poise. Was Reed seedling 95-115-1. Stock is small. Unique (Magician x Rosewood) Midseason $30.00

HERMANN 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Consistency and perfection have been the hallmarks of this very nice yellow trumpet. Smooth, well balanced blooms supported by strong stems and well poised, with wide overlapping petals form the perianth. Color is a pleasing yellow, to both the petals and corona. Named in tribute to Joy and Cindy Haeffner’s home town, in Missouri. Was Reed seedling 88-34-12. (Phil’s Gift x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $10.00

ICE CAPADES 1W-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) In keeping up with the former Mitsch Daffodils’s catalog that offered a garden daffodils section, I felt it was time to for me to finally do this, too. Over the years some daffodils do so well except not having ultra-perfect show blooms. Combining the best qualities of their parents but so not well formed or smooth enough for show. Flowers are VERY white, floriferous, and healthy with great bulb increase. Quite a sight in the garden. Was Reed seedling 94-129-1. (Rhapsody x Chaste) Early $6.00

INDIANA UNIVERSITY 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA)

10 11 Named for my alma mater owing to its brilliant colors of red and white. This is the best-colored and formed selection from this cross. While very capable of being shown, it is not the epitome of white red breeding. But its earliness and brilliant red color make it very unique and desirable. Very fertile both ways. Color develops quickly. Was Reed seedling 83-69-1. (Magician x Quasar) Midseason $7.00

INCA GOLD 1 Y-Y (A.N. Kanouse, USA) First of the really dark gold trumpets. Kanouse’s best flower. Midseason $6.00

INNER GLOW 2W-P (B S Duncan, N IRE) A beautiful reddish-pink from Brian Duncan. For show and breeding. (Clouds Rest x Fragrant Rose) Late Midseason $10.00

INNOVATOR 4 Y-O (Th. Vander Hulst, Neterlands) One of the better Dutch double varieties, bordering on a concolorous flower. Excellent breeder, too! (Ambergate x Tahiti) Late Midseason $8.00

IRISH AFFAIR 2W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is by far the best 2W-Y I have raised and named and released so far. After opening the petals and cup expand and take on a more notable appearance. Heavy substance, bright crisp colors, large size with an excellent stem and neck characterize this flower. Fertile, but seed shy. Named for the romance between my stepdaughter, Michele and her boyfriend, John, when she spent a year in Belfast going to the University of Ulster. (Irish Wedding celebrated their marriage in Northern Ireland). Also, a combining of the names of both daffodils. This is a great flower that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Great in the garden and shows, too. Was Reed seedling 84-34-1. (Irish Mist x Flash Affair) Midseason $6.00

IRISH MINT 3W-GGW (Dr. John Reed, USA) A smaller show flower of great smoothness and roundness. Fertile and transmitting that smoothness to its offspring. The amount of green in the eye will be less in dry seasons. Excellent show flower. Was Reed seedling 85-99-1. (Angel x Achnasheen) Midseason $8.00

IVORY WHITE 1YWW-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) A most unusually colored trumpet. This large elegant flower opens an off white (ivory) and as time passes the outer third of the petals develop a light yellow color. Name pending. (Unknown 1993 cross) Early Midseason $25.00

JAW BREAKER 2W-O (Dr. John Reed USA) This gigantic flower is held high on strong stems. The color is intense to its expanding corona of trumpet character. The perianth quality is more suited for the garden but can be shown. Petals are overlapping. Poise is good. When first seen by Jason Delaney, his mouth opened so wide, I thought his jaw would drop off, hence the name ‘Jaw Breaker’. Fertile, slower grower, and stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 98-161-1. [81-125 (Poets Dream x Preamble) x Ivory Gold] Midseason $28.00

JOHN EMMETT 2Y-O (Clive Postles, Eng,UK) This sibling to ‘Cutting Edge’ is bigger, more vigorous and a far superior flower. Alas, just short of a trumpet. It has suffered with some rot here but far less than its parent and sibling. Recommend for the highest level of showing and breeding. Excellent breeder, only a few to go. Was Postles seedling 1-27-89. (Lea 1-14-76 x Hampton Court) Midseason $30.00

KIMMERIDGE 3W-YYO (D & J Blanchard, Eng,UK) Many times a winning show flower, including Best in Show. Needs shading for better color. (Port Rush x Pretty Polly) Midseason $3.00

LADY DIANA 2W-W (Broadfield Daffodils,Tas, AUS) An early and outstanding, top-shelf show flower. Easily capable of being a Best in Show bloom. Don’s Best! Excellent breeder. (Lady Slim x Gwyn) Early Midseason $5.00

11 12

LAKE SUPERIOR 1 W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the most consistent show quality flower 1 W-Y that I have named so far. Shown twice, it has been a Rose Ribbon winner and a Best in Show. Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes and this daffodil is so named! Always smooth. Great colors, substance, smoothness, and poise. Slow increaser. Fertile both ways. Price reflects its scarceness and desirability. Was Reed seedling 98-26-16. (Irish Mist x Flash Affair) x Three Oaks Early Midseason $40.00

LAVENDER BELL 1Y-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) From the cross that gave ‘Pink Climax’ came a full trumpet with a rolled fragment corona. Very vigorous healthy. The lavender colored trumpet is a perfect topping to the light yellow overlapping perianth. Exceedingly beautiful to my eyes, I love it. Ample stock allows a lower price. Was Reed seedling 92-169- ?. Name pending. (Qantasia x Fidelity) Midseason $13.00

LEMONADE 3W-GYO (J. Lionel Richardson, IRE) This flower started the 3Y-Y divisions with many notable offspring including Bill Pannill’s ‘New Penny’. Tall, strong stems. Strong grower and showable. (Green Island x Chinese White) Late Midseason $5.00

LEMON BITONE 1 Y-Y/W (Dr. John Reed, USA) I fell in love with this flower when I observed in my older 1993 seedling rows on the east side of the spruce trees. Upon opening, the light color becomes brilliant yellow the petals develop a kind of alternation of white and yellow. Eventually the color becomes all yellow. Difficult for me to describe. The flowers are large held on strong stems with overlapping petals. The long trumpet looks upward. For show and garden. (Unknown 1993 cross) Early Midseason $20.00

LEMON CREEK 3W-GGY (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for a local winery in Southwest Michigan. This intermediate is a very striking departure from the usual blooms. The round wide petals color up to a light yellow in contrast to the small intensely colored cup with its deep bright green center and really deep golden yellow outer corona. Unusual and a very high quality show bloom. Excellent poise, strong stems and a good grower so far. Stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 98-125-2013. [Irish Mint x 85-26-1 (Angel x Misty Glen)] Late Season $24.00

LEMON SPICE 3 Y-Y (Peter Ramsay, NZ) Peter Ramsay’s best 3 Y-Y at Oakwood. Scarce (Golden Aura x Gold Gem) Midseason $30.00

LIKE IT 3W-YYR (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the second cultivar to be named from this cross, each distinctive, strong growing and good show flowers. More intensely colored than ‘Macilynn’ and with wider petals. The name was given by Mike Berrigan upon observing it. Was Reed seedling 95-34-3. Name pending. (La Paloma x My Sweetheart) Midseason $12.00

LIMEY CIRCLE 3W-WWY (Eve Robinson, USA) A beautiful show flower. Vigorous. In some seasons it may have an intense limey-green color to its rim. (Carnmoon x Green Island) Late Season $4.00

LOUISE RANDALL 2W-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is a beautiful daffodil named for a very special lady who loved daffodils. For many years Louise and her son, Bob, would help me plant daffodils especially when I got behind. She even helped in the snowy November weather when she was in her 80s. This is the most consistent early midseason white for show that I have named so far. It is also great in the garden. By combining the best attributes of its parents, it never lets you down. Neither did Louise! Flower grows and develops on maturity don’t pick when immature. Was Reed seedling 89-9-1. (Misty Glen x Rhapsody) Early Midseason $6.00

LYDICK 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Offered for breeding and garden use. The original stock clumped up very fast and bulbs were dug to fatten them up again. It has been a good breeder for deep pink/red flowers. A great improvement over Spaceship. Very healthy, excellent stem, neck and wide petals. Named for a small local Indiana town. (Spaceship x Culmination) Early Midseason $5.00

12 13

MACILYNN 3W-YYR (Dr. John Reed, USA) It seemed logical to cross the vigorous and colorful ‘My Sweetheart’ with ‘LaPaloma’. This is possibly the best all-around show flower of the seven selections kept. It is named for Oakwood’s own sweetheart, Christy Wagoner’s little baby-turned- helper, Macilynn. This is a strong grower and increaser! Was Reed seedling 95-34-2. (La Paloma x My Sweetheart) Midseason $16.00

MAGIC CHARM 2W-R (Mitsch and Havens, USA) An impressive well colored flower in this climate. The corona is a deep red set against a pure white well-formed perianth. Corona is slightly longer than ‘Catalyst’. Petals often strongly flush pink at the juncture, especially in cool, wet seasons. Excellent stem and neck. Seed sterile here. (Decoy x Magician) Late/Midseason $8.00

MAKO 1W-W(Dr. John Reed, USA) This is my first introduction of a white trumpet. Tall, imposing and vigorous with overlapping petals. I wanted to name it the ‘Great White’, but it was already taken many years ago. Moderate increaser. For show and garden. Was Reed seedling 84-128-7. (Pitchroy x Panache) Midseason $16.00

MANDARIN ORANGE 2W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) A very smooth intermediate. The long corona is a pastel orange and tubular. Petals are inherited from ‘Quench’, always broad and smooth. Color is variable with soil moisture and warm temperatures giving the best blooms. Every flower is fit for show. Was Reed seedling 95-109-1. Name pending. (Quench x George Gershwin ) Early Midseason $14.00

MARIEMONT 1Y-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) This beautiful flower had been admired ever since it first flowered. It has been a healthy strong grower with smooth, wide petals backing a very nice orange trumpet. A bulb sent to Jason Delaney was highly praised. It was the earliest 1Y-O to flower in 2014, and the blooms are long lasting. Location and seasonal variables can alter its quality. Named for a southern Ohio community interested in Oakwood’s daffodils. Was Reed seedling 95-100-1. [81-30-1 (Q20 x Sutton Court) x Uncle Duncan] Early Season $6.00 or 3/$12.00

MEMORIAL DAY 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named in honor of the Memorial Day daffodil dig that has become a tradition here, sharing our excess bulbs with the daffodil clubs who come to help us dig the fields. A late, smooth, large pink with excellent vigor increase and show quality. Blooms held on strong stems. Was Reed 90-75-3. Click on Daffseek.org to see the intensely violet-shaded cup! (Everpink x Kerstin) Late Midseason $9.00

MIGHTY MITE 1YYG-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Many hundreds of seedlings were raised from this cross giving standard sized blooms and smaller intermediate ones. This has been the best show intermediate yellow trumpet I have raised, albeit increase has been slow. The plants have been healthy and fertile both ways. Limited stock. Now getting many best intermediate awards. Was Reed 2010 selection #5. (Celtic Gold x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $26.00

MILLENNIUM ORANGE 1W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the finest white-orange trumpet that I have named to date. The corona shades from deep to light orange down the corona. The stem, neck, poise overlap are outstanding. Much admired by Peter Ramsay when he visited here. Very fertile. Only 3 offered for the most ardent narcissophile. Was Reed seeding 96-125-2. [81-125-2 (Preamble x Poets Dream) x Lutana] Early Midseason $60.00

MILLENNIUM PERFECTION 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Of all the yellow trumpets that I have flowered, this has consistently been the finest show flower from year to year as it grows in the field. The cross for it was made five times and this was from the last attempt. A bulb given to Bob Spotts took Best in Show at the 2010 National ADS Show. The petals are very smooth and their width is extraordinary. It is giving these characteristics to its offspring. Was Reed seedling 95-1-1. (Celtic Gold x Dream Prince) Midseason $36.00

MILLENNIUM RED 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA)

13 14 When it first flowered this was the most pure red cup I had developed. Not a dark red like Catalyst but a pure vibrant red. It in turn is breeding this color. It has excellent petals that are very white with good overlap. Strong stems with upfacing poise display the blooms well. Was Reed seedling 91-6-1. Scarce. (Evans W 2/5 x Ruby Red) Midseason $22.00

MOON RAKER 8Y-YYO (JN Hancock and Co, Australia) Never offered in the USA. This is the best show-worthy poeticus available. Excellent stem, poise and overlapping petals, and brightly colored. Usually 2 florets per stem. Great flower! (Corofin x ?) Late $14.00

MOTOWN 11aY-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) While registered in 2009, it had to be renamed as hopeful ‘Lickity Split’ was not accepted. I’m not sure if it was offered in 2009 but at least not under this name. So I’m re-offering it now. Due to oversight it has not been listed since. This cross was made to get an 11O-R and is very deeply colored. In a better climate it probably will be an orange-petaled flower. The corona is very dark and the plant is vigorous. While slightly coarse, it can be shown especially with extra watering and wind protection is a sight to see! Was Reed seedling 98-54-3. (Menehay x Rory’s Glen) Midseason $14.00

Narcissus poeticus var. hellenicus (wild species) Outstanding vigor for a species. Perfect for show and garden, and an exceptional breeder of miniature poets. Very small flower. Miniature per The Daffodil Society (UK). $5.00

NEW KID 3W-YYR (Dr. John Reed, USA) The third selection from this very good cross to be named. The name was given by Mike Berrigan who seems to really like the flowers from this cross. Distinctive from the others but well colored and strong grower. Was Reed seedling 95-34-4. (La Paloma x My Sweetheart) Midseason $22.00

NYNJA 2Y-Y (David Jackson, AUS) A smooth, all-yeallow show flower with many awards. A good breeder, also. (Scipio x 11/78) Midseason $5.00

NOTEWORTHY 3W-YYO (William Pannill, USA) Tall, vigorous for show and garden. Scarce. Very good. Impressive looking with larger blooms. (Lough Areema x Rose Caprice) x Jewel Song Late Season $5.00

OAKWOOD GLEN 2O-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the first of the richly-colored, concolorous “almost-trumpet” orange trumpets to be released. Of trumpet character and a very vigorous grower, this fertile flower is being extensively used in 1O-O crosses. The color is more copper than orange and is uniform rather than just a flush. Medium-sized with excellent stems and poise. Petals overlap well and are smooth. It’s color at sunset is exquisite, its petals distinctly copper compared to neighboring yellows, golds, and oranges. Was Reed seedling 2002-86-1. (Rory’s Glen x Quantum Leap) Midseason $20.00

OAKWOOD SPRITE 1 Y-Y (Helen Link and Dr. John Reed, USA) This has an informal perianth and a strong stem and neck—and it is very floriferous! The earliest daffodil to bloom here. A miniature daffodil for sure. Helen also registered a miniature form the this cross. Was Reed seedling 77-43-1. (Tiny Tot x Divine) Very Early Season $5.00

OH CINDY! 2Y-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) A.D.S member Cindy Haeffner was smitten by this vigorous intermediate bloom while still in the unselected seedling beds. Initially verging on miniature size the clump opened with very little color and the cup was somewhat “squatty” in form. By the afternoon the colors had changed to a very strong pink and now had an improved corona. The well-formed petals were a pleasing light yellow. It has copious pollen and is fertile. A true intermediate with strong short stems but held high above the leaves. The blooms look at you! An amazing flower and very healthy so far. Was Reed seedling 2000-36-1. (Laporte x 2 Y-P seedling) Midseason $18.00

ORANGE PICOTEE 3W-Y/O (Dr. John Reed, USA) The most distinctive flower for the cross that gave me ‘My Sweetheart’. The corona is very small with a pleated edging. Strong stems and smaller flowers with excellent poise. Would have been introduced early but most of the stock disappeared some time ago. Stock still small, so don’t delay! Was Reed seedling 81-197-4. Name pending.

14 15 (Hampsted x ?) Midseason $12.00

OREGON TRAIL 1Y-R (William F. Tribe, USA) A well colored but smaller red trumpet for show and garden. Scarce. I have a very good strong-growing stock. Multiplies very well. Shown many times in collections. ([(Arctic Gold x Brer Fox) x open-pollinated] x Javelin) Early Season $6.00

PEACEFUL HOLLOW 6Y-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) A sibling to ‘Wayne’s World’. It has drawn praise from several ADS judges. Smooth and well-formed but slightly larger than ‘Wayne’s World’. Also slower growing. Well swept petals sport an orange, medium-length corona. Stock is small. Was Reed seedling 84-49-2. (Monal x N. cyclamineus) Early Season $12.00

PAPASAN 2W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for our furry friend and the father of all the barn cats at Oakwood Daffodils. A smooth, large, bloom with overlapping petals but not too wide. The corona is of medium color and well formed with strong stems and good poise. Was Reed seedling 2000-16-1. Midesason $20.00

PEGGY MACNEALE 2W-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) Peggy was an outstanding and long-time member of the ADS that she loved. Her enthusiasm brought many new daffodil lovers to join the ADS and the SWODS group. Her trips to Oakwood were only at bulb digging time because of her ADS duties. She liked to point out particular bird calls to us novices while she hiked the wooded hills of Oakwood. Oakwood loved Peggy. This is a superb smooth show flower. Very white bloom with trumpet shaped corona on strong stems with excellent poise. Was Reed seedling 84-122-3. (Inverpolly x Kindee) Midseason $8.00

PIERCE- ARROW 1Y-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) Show quality 1Y-Os are still scarce, especially those that flower late. This vigorous daffodil blooms in late midseason here. It is of excellent size and height. And is of show quality with good poise, overlapping petals and non-fading color. Named for the classic American cars made in Albany, New York. A twelve-cylinder version of the Pierce Arrow set a world land speed record in the early 1930s driven on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Was Reed seedling 89-83-17. (Trumpet Call x Glenfarclas) Late Midseason $5.00

PINK CLIMAX 2Y-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) This was the name that came to me when I first saw it in bloom. The flower colors are pastel and very pure. Almost a lavender pink in the trumpet shaped corona. Definitely not garish. I can only hope that David Bell has been looking down from Daffodil Heaven to see it in bloom. A must-have! Vigorous and floriferous. Was Reed seedling 92-169-1. (Quantasia x Fidelity) Midseason $8.00

PINK FLUSH 2P-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) Simply the most consistent show quality pink flushed perianth I have raised or seen here. Every year it has shown a warm pink glow in its smooth flat, overlapping perianth. It is also giving that color and quality to its offspring. Fertile both ways. Was Reed seedling 90-100-2. (Music x Culmination) Late Midseason $7.00

PINKIE LEE 2P-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) A good addition to the scare class 2 P-P. Show quality, vigorous grower. Named for a child hood T.V actor from the early 1950’s. Petals are well overlapping with a strong red- pinkish color, all held in the same plane on strong stems. Was Reed seedling 97-66-1. [86-31-1(Decoy x Culmination) x Magician] Midseason $24.00

PINK PANDA 2P-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) The second daffodil in the garden series. This can be shown but is so late in blooming that it is not useful for most people to show. The pink shading is also very dark. Very healthy and floriferous. It should be good breeder too. All the usual good attributes. Try it--you will probably like it! Was Reed seedling 98-214-2009-1. [Mowana x Pink Flush] Very Late $20.00

PINK SILK 1 W-P (Richard & Elise Havens, USA) The best available pink trumpet today. Can be a strong reddish pink at times. (At Dawning x Graduation) Midseason $5.00

15 16 PITTA 2 W-P (Grant E Mitsch, USA) An overlooked older pink from Grant Mitch. Nicely colored, thick substance, tall stems, and durable! (Precedent x Debutante) Midseason $6.00

PLEASANT VALLEY 3Y-R (Colin Crotty, SI, NZ) Perhaps the best show flower from this cross, now well acclimatized. Many Best in Show awards including the South Island New Zealand National Show. Robust grower but limited stock. Beautiful! Only offered in the Northern Hemisphere here. (Achduart x Trudie May) Midseason $18.00

POET’S WAY 9 W-GYR (Tom Bloomer, N Ire, UK) Tom Bloomer’s best poet and an excellent flower for show and garden. (Smyrna x Lough Areema) Late season $4.00

POKAGON 1 YYW-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) An outstanding large, impressive flower held on tall strong stems beckoning your attention! Strong neck. Very smooth, flat perianth with broad, overlapping segments. Named for the local Potawatomi Indian tribe. A wow-factor-five flower. Was Reed seedling 2001-114-1. Name pending. (Parentage lost) Midseason $50.00

POPS LEGACY 2Y-R (Dr. W.A. Bender, USA) One of the finest available American-bred 1W-Y daffodils with countless awards to its credit. (Phillips’s open pollinated seed—"P.O.P.S.”) Early Midseason $5.00

PORT NOO 3 W-Y (Carcairn Daffodils, N Ireland, UK) An outstanding flower and new tops for show, garden vigor and colors strong stems support a well poised bloom. Easily a show winner either as a single bloom of 3 or best in show. (Golden Aura x Aircastle) Midseason $10.00

QUANTUM LEAP 1O-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) When this first flowered I was amazed to see its ‘Altruist’-like coppery petals. While I have never seen that copper color again the petals do show a reasonable light orange flushing and the big trumpet has intensified in color. Jason Delany has insisted that I should code it as red, not orange. This change was made. It has tall stems that show some arching. It is fertile both ways and has been retained for breeding. It has given gorgeous orange trumpet seedlings with ‘Flusher’. Was Reed seedling 94-15-2. (American Revolution x Corbiere) Early Midseason $7.00

RED CASCADE 3W-R (Dr.John Reed, USA) It is a true 3 W-R with a tubular shape cup and a very rigid, flat, overlapping but not broad perianth. Dave Karnstedt loved small cup daffodils. With his passing, I named it after his daffodil company, Cascade Daffodils. It is still being used with other 3W-Rs in breeding. Was Reed seedling 81-138-3. Coral Light x Jewel Song Midseason $16.00

RED ENVY 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) After seeing ‘Catalyst’, I started using ‘Magician’ more. ‘Red Envy’ is the best from this cross for me. Much like ‘Catalyst’ as the seed parent, it too is seed sterile here. The flower is a little brighter red. The flower usually lasts 5-6 days longer than ‘Catalyst’ and is more rot resistant. It can be shown and has a strong, short neck with bright color that is non-fading. Three flowers at 2017 ADS National Show were outstanding, grown in Mississippi. Was Reed seedling 95-14-1. (Decoy x Magician) Early Midseason $8.00

RED PASSION 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) These flowers stand tall on strong stems with excellent poise. The overlapping petals give a round appearance and the bowl shaped cup is a nice shade of bright red. This is my best show quality early red-pink to date. On seeing it one can understand how it got its name! Was Reed seedling 98-179-1. Listed again as it has increased well. [88-93-5 (Evans W2 x Magician) x Celestial Flame] Midseason $16.00

RIVER CROSSING 3W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA)

16 17 From a cross to develop a 3W-P comes a vigorous high quality 3W-Y. Greatly admired by Cynthia Haeffner of Missouri. Stock is ample and every bloom can be shown. Parentage is similar to the pollen parent of ‘Brooke Ager’. Named for a new foot bridge at my alma mater that crosses the St. Joseph River between the school’s I.U.S.B and its first ever student housing. Was Reed seedling 81-123-1. (Coral Light x My Word) Late Midseason $6.00

(84-126-1 (Lorikeet x Memento) x 87-84-1 (Nanushka x Lorikeet)] Midseason $16.00

RUSTY DOODLE 2O-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) From a very prolific cross, the second to be named out of 900 seedlings. Not an intense orange to the perianth but a dull orange. The flower is very well formed and round with well overlapping petals. The corona is very circular and solid orange in color. Petals are in the same plane with strong stems displaying the blooms well. An excellent show flower. Named for my beloved Golden Doodle dog and destroyer of woodwork, Rusty. Was Reed seedling 98-1-2. (Cowboy x Loch Lundie) Early Midseason $20.00

SABINE HAY 3O-O (D. Milne, ENG,UK) The most fantastically self-colored exhibition flower yet available. The tall stems support a well-rounded perianth of orange and a deeper colored cup.

SANDYCOVE 2Y-GWP (B.S. Duncan, N. IRE,UK) A vigorous show flower and breeder. The perianth opens white and quickly transitions to yellow. Excellent breeder. Almost a division 3. (Pismo Beach x High Society) Late Season $5.00

SILENT VALLEY 1W-GWW (Tom Bloomer, UK) A regular show winner for the British that can produce a very large flower. Not as susceptible to basal rot here. (Rashee x Empress of Ireland) Midseason $7.00

SHIMMER 6Y-O (Grant E. Mitsch, USA) This is the best early 6 Y-O in the collection. It has bloomed every year I’ve grown it. Very free-flowering, even when down 25 years. Fertile. Superb garden plant! [(Market Merry x Armada) x N. cyclamineus] Early Early Season $10.00

SHIPSHEWANA 3Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) One of the first-generation progeny from ‘Haunting’ to be named. It is a very strong growing quality show flower. Very smooth.

SHRIKE 11aW-P (Grant E. Mitsch, USA) An unsually colored and shirred split corona, whose color can be outstanding. Always draws attention wherever grown, and always in demand. [Phantom x C 53/11 (Pink Frost x Accent)] Late Midseason $7.00

SIMPLICITY PATTERN 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA)

17 18 One of the better new, pure colored 2W-Ps at Oakwood Daffodils. Very well formed for show with wide, smooth petals on medium-strong stems.

(Diana’s Song x Millennium Pink) Midseason $30.00

SIMPLY STUNNING 1Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Combining the size of ‘Arkle’ and the smoothness of ‘Dream Prince’, this flower took Spud Brogden’s eye when it was at the ADS National Show. Its stem is strong with a good upward presentation. It is a slow increaser but healthy and a good parent. It was the only selection kept of two years-worth of crosses. Finally released but the stock is still small. Was Reed seedling 90-12-1. (Arkle x Dream Prince) Midseason $10.00

SLEEPY HOLLOW 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) The third and last selection form this cross, slow growing but healthy. Similar to ‘Peaceful Hollow’. Limited Stock. Was Reed seedling 84-49-3. Name pending. (Monal x N. cyclamineus) Very Early Season $20.00

SOME FIRE 4W-O (Colin Crotty, NZ) This double is easy to recognize with its intense white color and an orange color that is usually red here. It rapidly increases so it can be divided every few years. Stems are strong and poise is excellent. Striking! (Gay Time x Eclat) Late Midseason $15.00

SMOOTH TRUMPET 1W-Y (Charles, Wheatly, USA) Its name says it all. The wide, white, overlapping petals are very smooth. The light-yellow trumpet is long and elegantly shaped. Poise, stem and neck are excellent. It is still very rare. I have been building up my stock for over 10 years. A show flower of the highest caliber. Small stock. (Breeding unknown) Midseason $10.00

SONGKET 2W-GWP (Brian Duncan, N Ireland, UK) Rarely offered, this is an outstanding smaller intermediate. The center changes from yellow to white. I cannot emphasize how beautiful this flower is! A strong grower. Every flower can be showed. (Pismo Beach x High Society) Midseason $8.00

SPINDLE TOP 3 W-Y (William G Pannill, USA) Bill Pannill’s best division 3 for show and garden. (Blarney x Aircastle) Late Midseason $6.00

SPRING BOUQUET 2 Y-P (R & Havens, USA) Almost a full trumpet with a deeply ruffled corona. Strong stems support large flowers with well overlapping lemon yellow perianth segments than can flush amber-pink in cool, wet seasons; a striking flower regardless! Strong neck. Corona color is variable, ranging from deep peach to reddish-pink at times. Vigorous. Was offered by Mitsch Daffodils as seedling WH27/7. (Lorikeet x Magician) Midseason $9.00

STANDING TALL 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Its name defines it. Most 2W-R flower suffers with short stems but this doesn’t. From a cross of deeply red coronas, this one stood out. It was saved to use in crosses due to its good attributed of stem, neck poise and health. Was Reed seedling 97-15-1. Name pending. (Magician x Reed seedling 87-94-3) Midseason $16.00

STEVE’S FAVORITE 2 W-GRR (Dr. John Reed, USA) When Steve Vinisky visited in 1999, this was one of his favorites. A vigorous grower with wide overlapping very white petals. The cup is very round and a red shade with green eye. Stem and neck are excellent. Very fertile. Was Reed seedling 83-1-8. (Ken’s Favorite x Quasar) Midseason $20.00

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE 3W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) My first division 3W-P of good quality, and it breeds well. Color varies from reddish to pale pink. For show and garden. Fertile. Was Reed seedling 84-171-1. (Pismo Beach x Everpink) Late Midseason $8.00

18 19 SUDDEN IMPACT 3W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) This is the best most dramatic show flower from division three that I have raised. Mistakenly listed as a division two when registered. When seen by Peter Ramsay at my farm it made such a “Sudden Impact” on him that he threw one of my flag makers at it declaring that he wanted that one! It was in the single bulb stage when he did this in 2009. There is now enough to list it. The very large flowers are of imposing proportions with wide spread overlapping petals and excellent smoothness. The corona is a true bowl shape cup rather than a flaring type seen on most division three daffodils. The colors are dramatically bright. Fertile both ways. Only a few to go this year. Was Reed seedling 2003-100-1. [97-32-3 (Dunley Hall x Three Oaks) x 95-26-1 (Dunley Hall x Irish Affair)] Late Midseason $42.00

SUGAR & SPICE 3 W-YYO (A.J.R.Pearson, ENG,UK) Superb show flower and strong grower. (Dell Chapel x Corozel) Lake Midseason $12.00

SUPER HERO 2W-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) A proven parent and good garden flower with strong tall stems that consistently hold well-colored large blooms. In 2006 its offspring gave me the largest and best formed strong red colored division 2 seedling of trumpet character that I have seen. This seedling is truly a super hero! Was Reed seedling 92-170-1. (Ken’s Favorite x Magician) Late Midseason $5.00

TABOR HILL 2W-P(O) (Dr. John Reed, USA) Displaying outstanding show form and it has a unique orangish-pink cup color. This attractive corona has a slightly rolled lip. It has been very healthy and is increasing well. Fertile both ways. Other pinks with orange hues are coming on here and are being bred with it, including a full trumpet from red-pink breeding. In the tradition of its seed parent, it is named for a local southwestern Michigan winery. Rated highly by several ADS judges. A must for the show. (Cabernet x Verran Rose) Midseason $10.00

TANGERINE DELIGHT 1W-O (Dr. John Reed, USA) First flowering in 2004, it was an eagerly awaited outcome from my 25-year effort to breed strong, vigorous, show quality white-orange trumpets in my climate. This cross gave many nice flowers in division 1 and 2 but ‘Tangerine Delight is the best. It is well-formed, has large flowers that are held on strong tall stems with excellent poise. The overlapping flat perianth segments are very white and its flared trumpet is a delightful shade of tangerine orange. Jason Delaney’s photos taken in 80- degree heat says it all. Great!! Fertile both ways. Was Reed seedling 98-32-2. (Orange Tint x Lutana) Early Midseason $25.00

TANZEY GIRL 2W-OOY (Spud Brogden,NI, NZ) One of the most outstanding daffodils grown at Oakwood Daffodils for vigor, health, tall stems and color. An excellent breeder and very distinctive too. A must for the garden and breeding. [(Motif x Avenger) x Crimpeline] Late Midseason $6.00

TARNISHED GOLD 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Until I first saw this daffodil in flower in 1990 the word golden daffodils could only conger up an intense yellow bloom. But this flower truly is a golden color hence its name. Planted adjacent to ‘Goldfinger’ for a few years it made that flower seem pale! Would be a trumpet except for its huge perianth inherited from ‘Gold Convention’. Breeding deeper color. Can be shown. Was Reed seedling 83-36-1. (Temple Gold x Gold Convention) Midseason $6.00

TERMINATOR 2 Y-R (Davis Jackson, Tas,AUS) Robust, strong growing large exhibition daffodils. Many best in show awards, including a few years ago at the ADS National Show. Better blooms are obtained when well-watered and wind protected. (Jackson seedling 15/89) Early-Midseason $6.00

THREE OAKS 1W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) A very consistent show flower and breeder of the highest quality. with a smooth overlapping perianth that has a light yellow corona. An awesome breeder and show flower. Should be grown by all. Was Reed seedling 89-21-1. (Bravoure x Pops Legacy) Midseason $8.00

THUNDER ROLL 1Y-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) I saw ‘Uncle Duncan’ in flower for the first time at Steve Vinisky’s Cherry Creek Daffodils during the World Daffodil Convention tour in 1994. I knew I had to use it in breeding the perfect orange trumpets. Using my deepest colored 1Y-R seedling in 1995, it was crossed with my first ‘Uncle Duncan’ bloom. John Pearson rated this seedling as very good and near tops in color for show blooms when he first flowered it. Tall stems show well colored high quality blooms. The overlapping

19 20 very smooth petals display the deep orange- red trumpets nicely. Named for a catchy county western song sung by one of Sandy’s favorite singers, Garth Brooks. Was Reed seedling 95-111-1. [Uncle Duncan x 87-19-4 (Trumpet Call x Glenfarclas)] Early Midseason $20.00

TOM TERRIFIC 11aY-R (Dr. John Reed, USA) Simply put, a terrific intermediate daffodil. Small blooms with perfect split coronas on tall, strong stems. It increases well and is healthy. For the garden and show. You’ll love it! Won Best in Show in Baltimore and is popular on show benches coast-to-coast. Named for a childhood cartoon character. Was Reed seedling 95-101-1. (Boslowick x Sunstroke) Midseason $14.00

TRISTAN’S MEMORY 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) Brian Duncan stated many years ago that while ‘Golden Joy’ was the best 2Y-Y show flower at the time, he had never raised anything worthwhile from it, only from its sibling, ‘Golden Jewel’. When this flowered, I was impressed enough to keep it. The tall stems and excellent poise displayed a flower of extremely nice show form. I shared it with Dick and Elise Havens and when I visited in 2000, it was a small stock in their fields, and it looked even better there. Bill Lee, the former ADS Journal editor, chose it in memoriam to his late and beloved canine companion, Tristan. When seen by David Adams in a recent visit to Bill’s he was impressed with it, too. Very healthy and great in the garden here. Was Reed seedling 83-97-1. (Golden Joy o.p) Midseason $7.00

TWILIGHT ZONE 2YYW-WWY (M D Brogden, NZ) Excellent smooth show flower, a must for breeders. (Gold Bank x Daydream) Midseason $9.00

VALLEY DREAM 2W-P (Colin Crotty, NZ) Well colored, dramatic in the garden. (Cherry Rim x Eclat) Midseason $6.00

VALLEY MOON 1YYW-Y (Colin Crotty, SI,NZ) I’m attracted to very pale yellow flowers and this is one of the best I’ve seen. For practical purposes there is no white halo seen here. Very large blooms are held on strong stems with excellent poise! A wide, smooth, flat perianth graces a tubular trumpet that expands at its opening. Great flower! (Breeding unknown) Midseason $10.00

VERA ROBBINS 3W-GWW (Dr. John Reed, USA) Named for my wonderful mother-in-law. This is my best show 3W-W. Very round blooms are held high on tall stems. A healthy plant. Was Reed seedling 85-100-2. (Verona x Achnasheen) Early Late Season $ 7.00

VERNAL PRINCE 3W-GYY (Tom Bloomer, N. Ire, UK) Brilliantly colored with tall stems and excellent poise. Great for show and garden. (Shantallow x Woodland Prince) Late Midseason $5.00

WAHKENA 2W-Y (Murray Evans, USA) Murray Evans’s best flower in this division. Strong and colorful. (Polindra x Frolic) Midseason $6.00

WESTMINSTER PINK 2W-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) This flower was in bloom in April when the royal wedding took place in Westminster Abbey. It was named to honor that event. Grown for many seasons, it consistently has given good-sized blooms on tall strong stems with excellent smooth, overlapping petals of pure white and a trumpet shaped cup of a pure light pink. Was Reed seedling 93-20-1. (Breeding unknown) Early Midseason $7.00

WHITE COLLAR 1 W-YYW (Dr. John Reed, USA) From a cross that has given many beautiful flowers. As the flowers age the distinct outer white rim develops on the long trumpet. An excellent show flower with respect to smoothness, petal overlap, and white petal colors. The long trumpet is held well with strong stems and an excellent poise. Was Reed seedling 98-26-10.

20 21 (Three Oaks x Irish Affair) Mid-Season $12.00

WHITE STORK 1W-W (Dr. John Reed, USA) The long, narrow trumpet made me think of a stork when I named it. Show quality with wide perianth segments overlapping well all in the same plane. The stems are tall, and strong displaying the flowers with an upward poise. The stems are a beguiling light green that I find pleasing. It can be shown and is a hit in the garden, too. Distinctive, slower growing. Was Reed seedling 85-81-1. (Pitchroy x Tradewind) Mid- Season $10.00

WILDFIRE 2 Y-O (Lindsay P. Dettman, Australia) A well-formed Australian flower, and a tremendous breeder for orange petals with show-quality blooms. (Vulcan x Spelter) $6.00

WINDY CITY 1W-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) At the 2009 National ADS Show at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, this daffodil under seedling number received five awards including the White Ribbon and the Rose Ribbon for Best Seedling in the show. The White Ribbon set of three graced the cover of the June 2009 ADS Journal. Tall strong stems support very wide smooth white petals and a gently flared bright yellow trumpet. The neck is short and poise is excellent. Combining the best features of both parents, it is logical progression in breeding my ideal 1 W-Y. It is very pleasing, consistent, health shoe flower. To honor the Chicago National ADS Show, Bob Spotts suggested the name “Windy City”. Was Reed seedling 97-163-1. Limited Stock. (Irish Affair Sibling x Three Oaks) Early Season $30.00

WOW! 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) The name says it all! That is exactly what I said when I first saw it in bloom and the name has stuck (all the letters are capitalized!) Though of trumpet character, it measures division 2. Its overlapping petals are very wide, smooth and very flat in the same plane and very consistent from year to year and flower to flower. A slow increaser. Its offspring are showing its best characteristics, especially those crossed with ‘Millennium Perfection’. Was Reed seedling 93-18-1. (Goldfinger x Dream Prince) Early Midseason $30.00

YELLOW BRICK ROAD 2Y-P (Dr. John Reed, USA) A bold, deeply colored bloom. Very vigorous, healthy, floriferous. Strong stems support large flowers. Petals are a bronzy- yellow and the pink corona is more brick colored. As it was bred from ‘Ruby Red’, the name seemed appropriate. Show or garden and breeding. Was Reed seedling 95-65-1. Name pending. (Fragrant Rose x Ruby Red) Midseason $22.00

YELLOW IVORY 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) A super smooth show flower. It was awarded a best in show for Kirby Fong, in its first year with him. Very pale, long yellow corona sits against a light ivory perianth. With enough time and warmth the corona will develop some pink color. Very consistent from year to year, and flower to flower. Was Reed seedling 92-71-1. (Memento x Nanushca) Early Midseason $8.00

YELLOW SATIN 2Y-Y (Dr. John Reed, USA) A tall, large, outstanding show flower with a name that says it all. The petals overlap but are not massive. A refined, slower growing but healthy cultivar. Was Reed seedling 83-6-1. (Meldrum x Gold Convention) Midseason $7.00

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY SYSTEM OF DAFFODIL CLASSIFICATION

The classification of daffodils has changed many times over the years. The present system combines the RHS classification of thirteen divisions based on form and species heritage with Dr. Throckmorton’s color coding from the American Daffodil Society. This combined system gives us a very useful tool for describing daffodils quickly. A single letter denotes a color and its appropriate location as found in the flower, first in the perianth and then in the corona. W=White Y=Yellow G=Green O=Orange R=Red P=Pink

For example: Arctic Gold is classified as a 1Y-Y. It is a trumpet daffodil with yellow petals and a yellow corona. Misty Glen is classified as a 2W-GWW. It is a large-cupped daffodil with white petals and a green-eyed white cup. First Born classified as a 6Y-GYP. It is a cyclamineus hybrid with swept-back, yellow petals and the corona has a greenish eye with a small transition of light yellow going to a deep pink color extending to the edge of the cup.

Division 1 Trumpet Daffodils: The trumpet (corona) is equal to, or longer than, the petal (perianth) segments.

Division 2 Large-Cupped Daffodils: The cup (corona) is less than the length of the petals (perianth) but more than a third.

Division 3 Small-Cupped Daffodils: The cup (corona) is equal to, or less than a third, of the petal (perianth) length.

Division 4 Double Daffodils: This division is for all forms of double flowers where there is more than one set of petal or coronal segments, or both.

Division 5 Triandrus Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. triandrus characteristics.

Division 6 Cyclamineus Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. cyclamineus characteristics.

Division 7 Jonquilla Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. jonquilla characteristics.

Division 8 Tazetta Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. tazetta characteristics. The stems usually will have multiple flowers. Also known as poetaz daffodils.

Division 9 Poeticus Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. poeticus characteristics.

Division 10 Bulbocodium Daffodils: hybrid daffodils that predominate with N. bulbocodium characteristics.

Division 11 Split-corona Daffodils: the cup (corona) that is split for more than a half of its length. This division has two subdivisions:

11a: Collar Daffodils have the corona segments opposite to the perianth segments.

11b: Papillion Daffodils have the corona segments alternating to the perianth segments 22 23

Division 12 Miscellaneous Daffodils: those that cannot be classified within the preceding divisions.

Division 13 Species Daffodils: those distinguished solely by botanical name—the wild ones.

LARRY WIER’S DAFFODILS 2017

My daffodil friend, Larry Wier, who has been breeding and selecting seedlings for 20 years, offers the following introductions. His standards are very high and you can be sure that his flowers are superior, distinctive, and healthy. He has acquired some of Charles Wheatley’s stocks and is introducing them, as well. I’m adding a five dollar flat rate fee for shipping as the costs keep going up.

THE BULBS LISTED BELOW ARE FROM LARRY. ORDERS FOR THEM AND PAYMENT BY CHECK SHOULD GO TO LARRY WIER, 13469 NORTH MAIN ROAD, BUCHANAN, MI 49107-9149, USA. Larry’s phone is (269) 695-6486.

AFTER HOURS 2W-P (Larry Wier, USA) For this flower ‘Arctic Char’ was used because of its perianth, and ‘Spritely’ because of it good pink color. Perianth segments are flat and of very good substance with inner petals spade shaped. Cup is gently expanding with a very good intense color for an early pink in Michigan. Stems are tall. Dr. Reed selected this one from a fairly large number of seedlings from my cross. Was Wier seedling 90-5. Name Pending Arctic Char x Spritely Early Season $15.00

AMIMAL CRACKERS 2 Y-YW-WWY ( Larry Wier, USA) This name was chosen from the Marx Brothers as only they would mix sweets and liquor, the parents of the beautiful bloom. The perianth segments are very found and large. The medium sized cup expands slightly to the mouth where it is flanged. As with most reverses, it opens all yellow and takes time to mature with the small yellow rim. A show flower. Was Weir seedling 88-2. (Lemon Candy x Gin and Lime) Midseason $10.00

FLASHPOINT 1W-P (Larry Wier, USA) The white perianth with ovate segments of good substance are the background for a trumpet that tapers gradually making for a more massive corona. This trumpet is darker pink inside and has a fairly heavy frill at the mouth. A climate milder that Michigan’s will result in bigger and better colored flowers. A vigorous grower here (this was the “flash point” that Larry needed to start registering his daffodils. Almost a red-pink in the best of years—JR) (Magician x Melancholy) Midseason $ 10.00

MAKER’S MARK 1Y-O (Larry Wier, USA) This is Larry’s most successful cross so far to get a better colored show flower here in the orange trumpets. The strong yellow color of the overlapping perianth is a good foil to the cylindrical shaped corona with little expansion of the trumpet. The perianth is not starry nor widely overlapping but very pleasing. The stems are tall and strong with bulbs having good increase. Breeding both 1 and 2 Y-Os. A well-grown specimen won the Single Bloom 1 Y-O class at the ADS National Show in St. Louis, beating ‘Magic Lantern’. Was Wier seedling 87-1. (Glenfarclas x Trumpet Call) Midseason $ 7.00 or 3 for $15.00

MINERAL WELLS (previously WINTER MOON) 1W-Y (Larry Wier, USA) This white perianth is quite rounded with spade-shaped segments (no double triangles here). The medium bright lemon trumpet has length to spare making for a good bicolor blossom. The corona is more narrow than average with a frill at the mouth. Color has been good in Michigan’s climate. Was Weir seedling 89-3. (Tudor Dance x Helsal) Midseason $ 9.00

24 25

OUTER RIM 1W-W (Larry Wier, USA) This flower has inherited the best characteristics of both of its parents. Especially a true and pure white color. Inner petals are spade shaped and almost touching. The trumpet is expanding to a moderate flange that is slightly frilled. Is stocky in overall shape. This blossom was the real star of seven selections form this cross. Was Weir seedling 91-4. Limited Stock. (Pitchroy x Lady Slim) Midseason $ 10.00

PINK SUNDAY 2W-P (Charles Wheatly, USA) The red-pink color of this bowl-shaped cup against the rounded and wide petaled perianth of this flower is its major attraction. ‘Refrain’ as the seed parent has provided form. Artful as the pollen parent has added to a beautiful cup color. Was Wheatley seedling 91-82-13) (Refrain x Artful) Midseason $ 10.00
