The commerical florists have been foremost to give the Narcissi or Daffodils the attention due them. They 

 have learned how easily and successfully these lovely flowers may be forced into bloom during winter (even as early 

 as Christmas) and how fascinating and lasting are the blossoms. They may be planted in pots or bulb pans six 

 inches or more in diameter, several bulbs in each, according to size, and treated in the same manner as Hyacinths. 



Narcissi are equally desirable for spring bedding. They should be planted in October or early in November to 

 produce the best results. The bulbs should be set from four to five inches deep; the larger sorts five or six inches 

 apart and the small varieties three to four inches. They should never be planted in very windy situations. 

 Groups of Daffodils in borders of hardy herbaceous plants and along the edges of shrubbery beds are exceedingly 

 effective and delicately beautiful. They are charming, too, planted in beds, especially when combined with an 

 undergrowth of the blue Scilla Siberica, Forget-me-not, or other dwarf :;pring flowers.
