The Narcissi offered by us this season are all American-grown and selected from flowers and bulbs we have personally seen. 

 We believe that they will compare favorably with Dutch stock, importation of which is prohibited. 



The quantity of really High-Quality Bulbs available this season is limited, and we suggest that customers place their orders 

 early. The prices quoted in the following pages are for bulbs of the best Selected Quality, which is the only grade we carry. 



Narcissi may be planted effectively along the edge of shrubbery, among herbaceous plants, or naturalized in woodlands, 

 especially in meadows and along the banks of streams.
