Jonquils. 



Jonquils are shown in colors on the 

 back cover of this Catahgiie. 



All of the Jonquils are prized for their 

 graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms and 

 the ease wilh which they may be grown. 

 Half a dozen bulbs can be put in a 5- 

 inch pot, and with the same treatment as 

 recommended for Hyacinths (see page 

 4) a fine display can be had from Janu- 

 ary to April. Their cost is so trifling that 

 liberal plantings should be made out- 

 doors. A clump of 50 or more bulbs put 

 here and there among shrubbery or in- 

 terspersed in the hardy border gives an 

 indescribably rich effect in the early 

 spring, while a vase of the cut blooms 

 will fill a room with the rich, spicy odor.
