FARQUHAR'S POLYANTHUS NARCISSI. 



// by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; 2 lbs. per doz.; 12 lbs. per 100. 



AVERY decorative class of bulbous plants for green-house and window cultivation, but not hardy out of doors in our climate. They 

 produce enormous trusses of delicately fragrant flowers, varying in color from snowy white to deep yellow. Treat the bulbs in the 

 same manner as noted for Hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be set half an inch deeper in the soil. They may be easily and 

 quickly forced; our florists frequently have them in bloom by Thanksgiving.

largest, and most vigorous form of the Paper White; the

Narcissus Poetaz, Elvira. 



Polyanthus Narcissus, Paper White. 



NARCISSI POETAZ HYBRIDS. 



These new hybrids are the result of a cross between Poeticiis Ornatus and Poly- 

 anthus Varieties, and are strong, healthy growers. They have the delicious

 latter, each stem carrj'ing from three to six flowers. The bulbs are quite 

 hardy and if planted in permanent groups in the hardy garden soon form 

 large, luxuriant clumps. They can also be grown in pots for winter flower- 

 ing.
