A little money 



for flowers goes a great way 



in PolyantJnts Narcissus. 



Polyanthus Narcissus have come to the 

 front as a popular and satisfactory flower for 

 pot culture in Winter. They are of the easiest 

 culture, and can be potted any time from -Oc- 

 tober to January. Light, loamy soil can be 

 used, as the bulbs require little or no fertiliz- 

 ing material. Several bulbs can be grown in 

 a large pot or box, and, as will be seen by our 

 engraving, the effect is extremely lovely and 

 graceful. To secure good drainage, coverthe 

 bottom of the pot or box withbroken crockery, 

 sand or pebbles; fill with soil to withm 3 

 inches of the top, then set up the bulbs and 

 cover them loosely with iJ-< to 2inchc3of soil; 

 water well and place in a cool, dry cellar or 

 similar place. They will need no other alten- Dll'FERENT TYPES OF POLY.VMIIL;, NARHsiLs, ihe NEW POPULAR FLOvvek
