NARCISSUS or 
DAFFODILS. 
There are no hardy plants which have more points of merit 
than the Narcissus. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well in 
almost any and every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All 
conditions seem to suit it, 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 culture for winter flowering. 3 or 4 bulbs can 
be put into ad-inch 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 re- 
sults each year, and from an original planting of a few hundred 
bulbs in two or three years may be cut thousands of flowers with- 
out missing them. Our collection is made up of the best varieties 
for all purposes.
