"T^HERE are no hardy bulbous plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissus. Per- 

 fectly 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. Three or four 

 bulbs can be put into a 5-inch pet, and, with the same 

 treatment as given to Hyacinths, the dull winter and 

 early spring months can be made bright with their ex- 

 quisite gold and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors 

 that Narcissus do best, and once planted need no fur- 

 ther 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.
