DREER’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 11 
NARCISSUS, 
All the varieties are extremely hardy and 
popular as a border flower. The Single Nar- 
cissus, of which we give an illustration, is 
quite an attractive flower, the central cup be- 
ing of a very different color from the six 
petals. Some have the petals of a light yellow 
and the cup orange; others have the petals 
white and the cup yellow; while the Poet’s 
Narcissus is snowy white, the cup cream color, 
with a delicate fringed edge of red or orange. 
The Double varieties are very desirable. The 
well known Daffodil is of this class. Its true 
name is Von Sion. Orange Phenix is some- 
times called Butter-and-Eggs as the large 
petals are creamy yellow and the short ones 
orange. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus are very attract- 
ive and showy flowers, producing on a tall 
stem large clusters of white and yellow cup- 
shaped blossoms, and are particularly admired 
for their sweet jasmine perfume; they contrast 
finely with the Hyacinth, for garden, pot or 
glass culture and require the same treatment.

SNOWDROPS, 
The pretty Snowdrop, “in habit white and plain,” is the first 
of all flowers to herald the approach ef spring. Long before 
any other flower, it shoots up its slender stem, and displays its 
white, drooping corols, while the spotless snow still covers the 
shady recesses of the garden. They flourish well in any soil, and 
bloom best if not transplanted oftener than every three years. 
Being dwarf, they should, when planted in the garden, be set 
near the edge of walks, where they show to advantage. They 
also flourish well in sand or moss, or in pots or baskets.
