Autumn Catalogue of Bulbs, Seeds and Garden Requisites, 



Narcissus or Daffodils. 



THESE charming, graceful flowers have 

 had a great revival of popularity in the 

 last few years, and are now prime favorites 

 for early blooming in the garden, and are 

 largely forced by florists for winter flowers. 

 They are bright and hardy (except the Poly- 

 anthus sorts), and nearly all are most deli- 

 ciously fragrant ; no flower better deserves 

 its popularity. Of easy culture, they are 

 equally satisfactory for potting and for the 

 open bed and borders, where their rush-like 

 glaucous foliage and white and yellow flow- 

 ers are very much admired. For their culti- 

 vation the soil should be well-loosened so 

 that the roots have perfect freedom in their 

 growth. The planting of bulbs should be 

 deep, and about five to ten inches apart. 



After the foliage dies down in the sum- 

 mer, the bulbs should be lifted and replanted 

 in September or October in a different place 

 in the garden ; in this way they will thrive 

 and increase from year to year. Everyone 

 should have at least a few of these chai'm- 

 ing plants. 



For house culture plant several bulbs 

 together in a pot and keep in a cool room, 

 give plenty of light and water and they will 

 bloom from February to April. The Poly- 

 anthus varieties are earliest and best adapt- 

 ed to house culture, but all will do well in 

 pots if not kept too warm and forced too 

 rapidly.
