There are no hardy plants which have more points of merit 

 than the Narcissus. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well 

 in almost any and every posiiion, 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. 

 3 or four 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 Narcissus do best, 

 and once planted need no further attention, the clumps multi- 

 plying and giving larger and finer results each year, and from 

 an original planting of a kw hundred bulbs in two or three 

 years may be cut thousands of flowers without missing them. 

 Within the past few years giant strides have been made in de- 

 veloping new and improved varieties. Our collection is made 

 'up of the best in each class for all purposes.
