Lakge Tkumpist Narcissus " Empress.' 



ire no hnrdy bulbous plants which have 

 points of merit than the Narcissus or 

 ffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and do- 

 in almost any and every position, sun or 

 1st or dry. All conditions seem to suit it, 

 \acant corner in ihe garden, amongst the 

 er the trees, etc., etc., could not be used 

 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-mch pot, and, with the same treatment as given to 

 Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spiing 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.
