Narcissus or Daffodils. 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points of merit 

 than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing 

 well in almost any and every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. 

 All conditions seem to suit them, although they have a prefer- 

 ence for a good, deep soil and a semi-shaded position, 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. Three or four bulbs 

 can be put into a 5-inch or 6-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 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. 



NOTE. — We offer Narcissus under 7 distinct 

 heads or types: First, the large trumpet varieties, 

 like Emperor and Empress; second, the medium 

 trumpet sorts, of tc7Uch Sir Watkin and Mrs. Lang- 

 try are examples; third, the small trumpet kinds 

 or the Poeticus group; fourth, the Hoop Petticoat 

 sorts, which really belong in the large trumpet class; 

 fifth, the Jonquils; sixth, the Polyanthus or many-flow- 

 ered; seventh, the double-flowering sorts. 

 In, describing Narcissus it is usual to give the color of the 

 trumpet or croicn and the color of the perianth or petals 

 surrounding the trumpet.
