For Natural Plantations. This is the day of th 
natural garden, and the Daffodils are among its most 
charming subjects. Once planted there is no limit to 
their existence and they improve and multiply each 
year, provided they are replanted when after several 
years they become too crowded. There is not a single 
sort in the entire list that may not be advantageously 
used. The illustration on page 1 shows a plantation of 
Poeticus, one of the cheapest, yet most fascinating Dafto- 
dils. Other inexpensive forms suitable for such massing 
are Barri Conspicuus and many of the Leedsi and In- 
comparabilis sections, while the large trumpet varieties, 
many of which are likewise inexpensive, may be planted 
in comparatively small clumps with good effect. Each 
clump or mass should be of one variety—they should not 
be mixed—but the effect of planting a number of kinds 
each in a separate clump is most pleasing and extremely 
interesting. 
For Formal Beds. The Daffodils are charming, 
too, planted in beds, especially when combined with an 
undergrowth of the blue Scilla Siberica, Forget-me-not, 
or other dwarf spring flowers. They should ‘be planted 
in October or early in November. 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. 
For Clumps in Hardy Plant Borders. Groups of 
Daffodils in borders of hardy herbaceous plants and 
along the edges of shrubbery beds are exceedingly effective 
and delicately beautiful. 
For Greenhouse Culture. The commercial florists 
have been foremost to give the 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, severa 
bulbs in each, according to size, and treated in the same 
manner as Hyacinths. 
EARLY FORCING NARCISSI FROM 
SOUTHERN FRANCE. 
These are not so strong as the Dutch grown Narci 
but are valuable for very early forcing. ‘For Christmas 
forcing they should be potted in September.
