NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 



Narcissi, or Daffodils 



The Narcissi, or Daffodils, are among the earliest to 

 bloom and most brilliant and showy of all our spring 

 flowers. When potted, for house culture, they flower very 

 quickly. For the flower-beds, set 3 to 4 inches deep and 

 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the bulb. 

 These bulbs are hardy everywhere. 



Hundred price is 8 times dozen price, prepaid
