The Poet's Narcissus. 



(Narcissus Poeticus. ) 



This is the old-fashioned favorite type, with whiLe flowers, the cups 

 margined with red and with rich, spicy odor. For indoor culture the King 

 Edward \'II. and Ornatus are best. All do well in the open border, are 

 perfectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves.

New Hardy Cluster-flowered Daffodils 



(Narcissus Poetaz.) 



These new hybrids are a cross between the Poeticus and the Poly- 

 anthus types, partaking largely of the former in the size and form of 

 the individual flowers, and also inherits the strong, free growth and 

 hardiness of their Poeticus parentage. In the manner of producing their 

 flowers in clusters, and in extreme free-flowering qualities, they pos- 

 sess all the merits of the Polyanthus type. Make splendid beds or 

 clumps in borders, and are easily flowered in the bouse in 

 winter. (See cut.) We ofier 

 three fine varieties: 

 Alsace. Very early flowering, 



color pure white with yellow 



cup, faintly edged red on
