SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 

 The bulbs of Narcissus Paper White 

 Tandiflora and X. princeps exhibited by 

 the Jlisses Wilson, of Montgomerj-, Ala., 

 at JXilwaukee last August for test as to- 

 forcing qualities, have been bloomed by 

 Carl Jurgens, of Xewport, E. I., who re- 

 ports that the Paper Whites which flow- 

 ered were very fine and fully equal to 

 imported stock. There were, however, a 

 good many "sets"' in the collection, the 

 bulbs evidently having been grown in n 

 clump and taken up as such and sepa- 

 rated, ilr. Jurgens expresses the belief 

 that had these sets been planted out, as 

 is done in general Ijulb culture, and 

 grown for one season, -they would have! 

 made most excellent bulbs, like those that 

 flowered. 



As to the X. princeps, results were not 

 so satisfactory, although they were not 

 forced till late and, in Mr. Jungens' opin- 

 ion, the climate of Jlontgomery is too 

 warm for the growing of bulbs of this 

 class. Wm. J. Stewart, See'y.
