AUTUMN FLOWERING SPECIES 207 



stems, have spreading white petals turning slightly back- 

 wards; the lemon-yellow cup is very small. The leaves 

 are produced late in the fall, after the plant has ceased 

 blooming, therefore it must be protected with glass until 

 growth has been completed if flowers another season are 

 desired. 



N. SEROTINUS, VAR. ELEGANS. This variety somewhat re- 

 sembles the preceding differing in the following partic- 

 ulars: the pure white petals are more slender and very 

 pointed; the small yellow cup is saucer-shaped. The 

 leaves and flowers are produced at the same time. 



N. VIRIDIFLORUS. ($2 ea.) The green narcissus, a rare 

 little species blooming in November. Its small fragrant 

 star-like flowers with insignificant cups are borne in two 

 to four flower clusters on tall stems. The coloring of the 

 flower is a really pretty shade of light green.
