FAMILIAK GAltDEX FLOWERH. 



As o'arden flowers, the finest of the double daffodils are 

 Ti'ltiiiioiiiiix pii'imx, the largest yellow; Cennins jjletniH, a 

 lovelj' white rosette flower ; and Ceniuna hicinctuH, a pretty 

 and curious white flower, with a double trumpet and two 

 rows of guard petals. 



All the trumjiot daffodils are suitable for pilanting on 

 rockeries and in common^ borders ; and although they will 

 thrive almost anywhere, a deep moist loam is the kind of 

 soil in which they are likely to attain to the finest pro- 

 portions. A certain amount of shade is favourable to their 

 well-doing; but they love light and air, and to be over- 

 much shaded is unfavourable to their flowering. 



The bulbs shoiTld be planted in autumn in clumps of 

 .sJx to twelve, about three or four inches deep, and shoulil 

 be left undisturb(>d for several years, to insure abundant 

 flo\vering.
