Narcissus or Daffodils 



The Narcissus or Daffodils are among the earliest to bloom and most brilliant and showy of all our Spring flowers, 

 rhey are entirely hardy and highly valued for beds and borders in yard and garden, and also for Winter blooming in 

 ;he house. When potted, they flower very quickly and will soon fill your window garden with beauty and fragrance. 

 For the flower beds set 3 or 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the bulb. They bloom 

 beautifully very early in the Spring ; the flowers are very rich and handsome and delightfully sweet. They are very 

 lifferent in form and color, but all exceedingly beautiful.
