NARCISSUS 



IN MIXTURE. 



For planting among shrubbery in 

 unused corners or for naturalizing 

 in grass, where they may remain 

 undisturbed for years, these are, 

 without doubt, one of the best 

 hardy bulbs, coming into bloom 

 early and supplying an unfailing 

 source for cut flowers. Both the 

 single and double sorts deserve ex- 

 tensive planting in every garden. 

 (See cut.)

No collection is complete without the double-flowering sorts. While 

 not as attractive as many of the single varieties, they possess a charm 

 peculiarly their own. They are excellent for forcing, and will thrive 

 equally well in the house or open ground, being perfectly hardy.
