HARDY CLUSTER-FLOWERED 193 



in pairs and clusters on strong stems so that a 

 bed or clump of the plants in bloom shows a 

 dense mass of flower. The varieties force 

 easily and are effective when grown in pots 

 and pans. Their fragrance is not so oppressive 

 in a confined atmosphere as that of the Tazet- 

 tas. They were awarded a first prize at the 

 Haarlem (Holland) Exhibition of 1900. 



ALSACE. (C. $1.50 doz.) Broad pure white petals of 

 true poeticus form: cup yellow, edged reddish while the 

 blossom is young. It blooms three weeks earlier than N. 

 poeticus ornatus and usually bears three flowers to a stem. 

 Promises to be extra good for forcing. 



ELVIRA. (D. $i doz.) Long-stemmed large flowers of 

 unusually good substance. Petals pure white; cup yellow. 

 Extra free flowering, and three to four flowers on a stem; 

 a very vigorous sturdy growing narcissus that multiplies 

 rapidly, which accounts for its moderate price. Award of 

 Merit, R. H. S. 



IDEAL. ($2.50 doz.) White petals and a dark orange 

 coloured cup. The clusters usually contain six to seven 

 blossoms. 



IRENE. ($2.50 doz.) Satiny sulphur-yellow petals and 

 orange cup. A large broad truss containing eight to nine 

 flowers. 



JAUNE A MERVEILLE. (D. $3 doz.) The largest yellow 

 flowered variety. Perianth yellow; cup deep golden colour, 

 seven to eight flowers on a stem. 



KLONDYKE. ($1.25 doz.) One of the deepest of the 

 yellows. Perianth yellow; cup deep golden: six to seven, 

 flowers in a truss. 



LOUISE. ($1.25 doz.) True poeticus formed flowers
