HARDY CLUSTER-FLOWERED 1 93 



In pairs and clusters on strong stems so that a 

 bed or clump of the plants In bloom shows a 

 dense mass of flower. The varieties force 

 easily and are effective when grown In pots 

 and pans. Their fragrance Is not so oppressive 

 In a confined atmosphere as that of the Tazet- 

 tas. They were awarded a first prize at the 

 Haarlem (Holland) Exhibition of 1900. 



Alsace. (C. $1.50 doz.) Broad pure white petals of 

 true poeticus form: cup yellow, edged reddish while the 

 blossom is young. It blooms three weeks earlier than N. 

 poeticus ornatus and usually bears three flowers to a stem. 

 Promises to be extra good for forcing. 



Elvira. (D. $i doz.) Long-stemmed large flowers of 

 unusually good substance. Petals pure white; cup yellow. 

 Extra free flowering, and three to four flowers on a stem ; 

 a very vigorous sturdy growing narcissus that multiplies

 Merit, R. H. S.

 coloured cup. The clusters usually contain six to seven
