 NARCISSUS OR 



DAFFODILS. 



We illustrate on the front cover of this 

 Catalogue five of the finest Giant Trumpet 

 sorts which are offered below and on the 

 opposite page, while on the back of the 

 cover are shown five of the choicest medium 

 Trumpet varieties which are offered on

Tliere are no hardy l)ulbous plants which have 



more points of merit than the Narcissus or iJafi'odils. 



Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well in almost 



any and every posiiion, 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 



culture or for winter flowering. Three or four bull)s can be put 



into a S-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. 



//( describing Aarcissug it is risval to give the color 

 of the trumpet or crown and the color of the perianth 

 or 'petals surrounding the trumpet. We offer seven types
