20 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 
an interest and enthusiasm among the lovers of flowers that has 
placed this, ‘‘ The Flower of the Poets,’’ in the front rank 
of popularity, and they merit all the praise thatcan be bestowed 
upon them. Appearing, as they do, just after bleak winter, they turn 
our gardens, lawns and woodland walks into gorgeous masses of gold 
and silver, with a fragrance that is enchanting. They are equally 
valuable for growing in pots for winter flowering and are prized for pot culture, 
flowering in the house with the Hyacinth, and should be cultivated in the same 
way—3 roots at least in a 4 or 5 inch pot. The cut flowers of Daffodils are 
much in demand for bouquets and vases, and some of the varieties are forced 
in immense quantities by florists for cut flowers in winter. Narcissus are of the 
easiest culture, and all, excepting the Polyanthus varieties on page 28, are perfectly 
hardy, though the latter live through the severe winters—if well protected—and 
produce larger and more abundant flowers than when grown in the greenhouse. 
Our collection has been much enriched, and embraces, in addition to the old 
favorites, many magnificent new hybrids. 
Te wonderful creations in the way of new varieties haveawakened
