Garden Varieties. Very few of the numerous varieties 
of Narcissus may be considered unworthy of cultivation. 
Many of the Narcissi may be employed. for naturalising, 
and for shrubbery border decoration, when they can be 
procured in quantity at a cheap rate. Subjoined is a 
list of the best varieties, selected from the different 
groups and divisions that have been arranged. We are 
indebted to Mr. Peter Barr for the illustrations here 
given, as well as for several of those used in the species.
