POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS, or BUNCH- 

 FLOWERED DAFFODILS. 



The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful, 

 but deliciously sweet-scented and of the easiest culture. Very 

 free flowering, and suitable for window garden, conservatory or 

 garden, continuing longin bloom. They bear tall spikes of bloom, 

 bearing from six to twenty-four flowers each. The pure white 

 petals and gold cup of some varieties, the yellow, with the or- 

 ange cup of others, and the self-whites and yellows, render them 

 great favorites. 



NOTE — Polyanthus Narcissus, although not considered hardy, 

 have lived out for two Winters in the vicinity of Boston with a slight 

 covering of straw and leaves, and produced much larger flowers^ 

 and more of them, than when grown in the house in pots.
