NMRCISSUS - 



DMFFODILS. 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissus. Perfectly 

 Jiardy, growing and doing well in almost any and 

 every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All con- 

 ditions 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 a 5-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 Narcis- 

 sus do best, and once planted need no further atten- 

 tion, 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.
