NARCISSUS OR. DAFFODILS. 



ible 



HERE are no hardy 

 plants which have more 

 points of merit than 

 the Narcissus. Per- 

 fectly hardy in all lat- 

 itudes ; if planted in 

 well - drained ground, 

 they multiply and in- 

 crease in attractiveness 

 each year. They are 

 as easily forced as the 

 Hyacinth, and a con- 

 s t a n t succession of 

 flowers may be had 

 from January to the 

 middle of May. The 

 flowers are among the 

 most attractive of 

 Ijlooms. very lasting and of endless 

 variety of form and coloring. It is 

 important that they be not too 

 strcngiy forced, otherwise the cul- 

 ture is very simple.

N<> collection is complete without the double flowering 

 ^orts. While not as attractive as many of the single 

 varieties, they possess a charm peculiarly their own.
