The Daffodil came up in the cold through the brown mold; 

 Although the March breezes blew keen on her face, 

 Although the white snow lay on many a place.''' 1 



We are told that the ancient Narcissus was a youth who 

 became so enamored with his own beauty that he spent the days 

 gazing at his reflection in a brook, neglecting food until he 

 perished and became changed into a lovely and graceful flower. 



So highly was the Narcissus appreciated even by the sordid 

 Arabs that Mahomet wrote : "He that has two cakes of bread, 

 let him sell one of them for some flowers of the Narcissus; for bread is the food for the body, but Narcissus is food 

 for the soul." 



The remarkable diversity of forms and chaste coloring of the Narcissus is only equalled by their ease of cul- 

 ture and almost absolute certainty of bloom.
