POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS (Bunch Flowered). 
The Polyanthus Narcissus are general favorites for indoor culture, succeeding 
equally well planted in soil or in water. They can readily be brought into bloom 
in six weeks from the time of planting. 
For water culture all that is necessary is to place the bulbs in a bowl with a 
few pebbles to suppert them, or better use a small quantity of prepared fibre instead 
of the pebbles. Set the bowl in a light window at once. 
The same treatment may be followed for pot culture in soil. 
Paper White Grandiflora—Particularly adapted for pot or water culture indoors. 
The flowers are pure white, and are produced freely in large trusses, requiring 
very little attention. The flowers last a long time and are very fragrant. Extra

loam, planting one bulb in a 5-inch pot, three bulbs in a 6-inch pot, 
six bulbs in an 8-inch pot or pan, water thoroughly and put away in a 
eool, dark place until well rooted, and bring into the light after an 
inch or more of top growth has been made.

Grown in Glasses—Place the bulb in the glass so it just touches 
the water,and keep in the dark until the rootsreach the bottom, and 
an inch or more of top growth made. Single varieties are best for 
water. 
Outdoor Culture—Plant in moderately rich soil, placing the bulbs 4 
inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart, and cover with litter during 
winter.
