42 BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 



The Narcissi are also charming for pot culture, and may be 

 treated the same as Hyacinths. A method of growing them which 



is rapidly increasing in favour is to 

 put them in undrained jars of green 

 ware, in peat-moss fibre. They thrive 

 admirably when thus grown, and are 

 beautiful for rooms. 



They hav.e a special enemy, called 

 the Narcissus fly (Merodon equestris), 

 the maggots of which attack the bulbs 

 and cause them to decay. Any plants 

 that are found to be attacked should be 

 burned, in order to prevent the spread 

 of the enemy. 



The number of Daffodils is so 

 enormous that the task of making a 

 selection is a very difficult one, but 



the greater the number the greater the necessity for making the 

 attempt to reduce it, as a help to bulb-lovers who are not acquainted 

 with the best varieties. The following tables may be found useful. 

 All are cheap, unless a note to the contrary is added.
