ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 



Single Narcissus 



DAFFODILS AND NARCISSUS 



The Golden Daffodil, the earliest harbinger of the joy that is to come with the awakening of Mother Earth after her long winter's 

 sleep, as Shakespeare says: "Daffodils — That comes before the swallows dare, and take the winds of March with beauty." Fine both 

 for garden, and those preceded by a star (*) for forcing indoors.
