DAFFODILS — NARCISSUS 



expensive, newer, large-flowering hybrids can- 

 not be used with profit, for the bulbs must be 

 planted by the thousands. So long as the flow- 

 ers are of good-size with long stems, all varie- 

 ties seem to bring the grower about the same 

 average price, 50c. for a hundred flowers, 

 though early in the season they often realise 

 double that figure or more ; but late in the sea- 

 son the return is much less. For this reason the 

 old reliable medium-priced standard sorts 

 mentioned below are chosen. These, well 

 grown, produce large marketable flowers on 

 long stems, and the different kinds furnish 

 succession of bloom for two months or more.
