the most important and extensively forced of all varieties 

 of polyanthus narcissus for cut flowers in winter. Snow- 

 white star-like blossoms borne in good sized trusses on long 

 strong stems. The bulbs are mostly grown in Southern 

 France, whence they are exported by millions annually; of 

 easy culture and vigorous growth, often being brought into 

 bloom long before Christmas. May also be grown and 

 flowered successfully in bowls of water with moss or peb-

SCILLY WHITE. (B. $2 hu.) Early, dwarf, sturdy

WHITE PERFECTION. (E. $1.50 doz.) Late flowering, 

 bearing large trusses of large pure white petalled, cream 

 cupped flowers. Growth dwarf, and sturdy.
