POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 
The Polyanthus varieties are deliciously sweet-scented, very free flowering and bearing 
from 6 to 12 flowers. The pure white petals and gold cups of some varieties, the yellow 
with deep orange cups of others and the self whites and yellows render them great 
favorites. South of the freezing belt they are splendid for gardens and “‘naturalize”’ 
well. For growing in pots or pans of soil, they are especially adapted and can be hadin 
flower in the house from Christmas throughout the winter by bringing the pots of rooted 
bulbs in from the frame or cellar every week or two.

Paper White “‘Grandiflora’’ or Large Flowering. This large flower- 
ing type is such animprovement over the ordinary ‘‘Paper White” 
that we have discontinued offering the latter. The ‘Large 
Flowering”’ is more vigorous and earlier, producing purest snow 
white flowers of large size and good substance in large trusses. It 
is largely used for early forcing for cut flowers by Christmas, and 
even earlier.

PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS. 
CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS. 
The Jos Flower or Flower of the Gods, etc., asititis called by the 
Chinese is a variety of Narcissus, bearing flowers of silvery-white, 
with golden-yellow cups. They are of exquisite beauty and en- 
trancing perfume. The incredibly short time required to bring bulbs 
into bloom (about six weeks after planting) is one of the wonders of 
nature. They should be grown in a moist atmosphere not above 65 
degrees. They do well in pots of earth, but are also grownin 
shallow bowls of water, with enough pe bbles to prevent them from 
toppling over. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a suc- 
cession of flowers throughout the winter. Price, largest true China- 
grown bulbs, 30c. each; $3.00 per doz.
