NAKCISSI OK DAFFODILS. 



For Natural Plantations. This is the 

 day of the natural garden and the Daffo- 

 dils 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 advan- 

 tageously used. The accompanying illus- 

 tration shows a natural border of Poeticus, 

 one of the cheapest, yet most fascinating 

 Daffodils. Other inexpensive forms suitable 

 for such massing are Barri Conspicuus 

 and many of the Leedsi and Incompara- 

 bilis sections, while the large trumpet 

 varieties, many of which are likewise inex- 

 pensive, 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 inter- 

 esting. 



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 

 verv 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 com- 

 mercial 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, several bulbs in each, according 

 to size, and treated in the same manner as 

 Hvacinths.
