Narcissus or Daffodils. 
There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points of merit 
than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing 
well in almost any and every position, sun or shade, moist or 




dry. All conditions seem to suit them, although they have a 
preference for a good, deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and 
every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, under the 
trees, etc., etc., could not be used to better advantage than by 
filling with Narcissus. They are equally desirable for pot cul- 
ture or for winter flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put 
into a 5-inch or 6-inch pan or pot, and, with the same treatment 
as given to Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring months can be 
made bright with their exquisite gold and silver blossoms. But 
it is outdoors that Narcissus do best, and once planted need no 
further attention, the clumps multiplying and giving larger and 
finer results each year, and from an original planting of a few 
hundred bulbs in two or three years may be cut thousands of 
flowers without missing them. 
In describing Narcissus it is usual to give the color of the trumpet 
or crown and the color of the perianth or petals surrounding the 
trumpet.
