Narcissus grandiflora {Paperwhik Narcissus) 



Is also a southern French bulb and is ready to 

 flower when received in September. Placed in a 

 dish two-thirds filled with pebbles, in which the 

 bulbs are buried half their depth, and water enough 

 at all times to reach the base of the bulbs, as in the 

 case of the Hyacinths in glasses, these may be placed 

 in a warm room immediately and will begin to grow 

 without any more attention and will flower in six 

 weeks. Successive dishes should be planted at m- 

 tervals of a week or so and a supply of these popular 

 flowers can be maintained throughout the Wmter.
