Plant Hardy Narcissus Along the Edge of the Shrub Border 



AS foretold in our 1925 catalogue, the Federal 

 •**■ Horticultural Board no longer permits the 

 importation of these foreign-grown Narcissus; 

 hence we offer what we believe to be the best 

 American-grown bulbs to be had, though without 

 any guarantee as to their blooming qualities.

Plant Your Bulbs in Time to Have Them in 

 Bloom on Christmas Day 



Plant your bulbs in a dish, cover them with 

 water and set in a cool, dark place for two weeks. 

 When brought to the light, keep them in a cool 

 place and they will bloom in six weeks, or eight 

 weeks altogether after planting. A succession of 

 deliciously fragrant, snow-white flowers can be 

 obtained by planting every two weeks. Take 

 one lot out to the light and plant another lot. 

 Order your winter's supply now and store them 

 in a cool cellar to use as wanted. Order early.
