I 8 DAFFODILS NARCISSUS 



The dormant period for these bulbs ranges 

 from July to November, during which they 

 may be dug from the ground, stored, and 

 shipped around the world if desired. When 

 replanted where soil and climatic conditions 

 are congenial, the bulb develops leaves and 

 flowers with as much luxuriance as if it had 

 remained undisturbed in Its original environ- 

 ment. 



The bulbs of narcissus and daffodils vary 

 greatly in size, according to age and kind. 

 The Tazettas, or polyanthus narcissus, make 

 the biggest bulbs, averaging from six to nine 

 inches in circumference. Some groups, as 

 triandrus, cyclamineus, Bulbocodium, etc., 

 make full-grown bulbs not much larger than 

 peas; while the great majority of our com- 

 monly grown narcissus and daffodils make 

 bulbs of four to six inches maximum circum- 

 ference. 



SOIL PREFERENCES 



With very few exceptions, the hardy nar- 

 cissus and daffodils revel in coolness and a 

 deep moisture-holding, air-penetrable soilj
