NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS 



If wanted by mail, add 10 cts. per dozen for postage. 



There are no hardy 

 plants which have 

 more points of merit 

 than the Narcissus. 

 Perfectly hardy in all 

 latitudes,if planted in 

 well-drained ground 

 they multiply and in- 

 crease in attraction 

 each year. They are 

 as easily forced as the 

 hyacinth, and a con- 

 stant succession of 

 flowers may be had 

 from January to the 

 middle of May. The 

 flowers are among the 

 most attractive of 

 blooms, very lasting 

 and of endless varie- 

 ty of form and color- 

 ing. It is important 

 that they be not too 

 strongly forced, oth- 

 erwise the culture is 

 very simple.
