Polyanthus Narcissus 



PAPER WHITE GRANDIFLORA. 



"Paper Whites" ai-e much esteemed for pot culture 

 indoors, continuing in bloom a long time, and are 

 largely used for forcing for early cut flowers. They 

 flower very freely and produce large trusses of bloom 

 of the purest snow white. They can be readily brought 

 into bloom for Christmas or earlier. May be grown 

 in water in a bowl with a few pebbles to keep the 

 bulbs in place. Three or four bulbs should be used 

 in a 6-inch bowl. Grown in this manner, there is no 

 more pleasing object foi- the parlor.

DAFFODILS.

 tractive as the large flowering single trumpet sorts, they 

 are no less desirable, and are especially adapted for 

 naturalizing in odd corners, where they will thrive and 

 increase for many years.

Daffodils and Jonquils should not be confused. The 

 former is a general term for all varieties of Narcissus, 

 except Poeticus, although in this counti-y it is usually 

 applied only to the large, yellow Trumpet-flowered varie- 

 ties. Some erroneously call the latter class "Jonquils" 

 and Jonquils are frequently ordered when the Trumpet- 

 flowered Daffodils are wanted. Jonquils bear compara- 

 tively small, though dainty, flowers with shallow cups, 

 and, unlike the Daffodils, have narrow, rush-like leaves.
