NARCISSUS POLYANTHUS (Paper-White Narcissus) 



This is everybody's flower for forcing in the house during the winter and early spring. Very easy to grow in 

 water and pebbles, in prepared bulb fiber, or in pots filled with soil. 



Best results are obtained if the first plantings are not made until November. They always do best if grown in 

 a cool room. It is advisable to purchase sufficient bulbs early in the season to permit several plantings during the 

 winter and spring. The bulbs will keep in perfect condition in a cool dry spare room or cellar. The later the season 

 the quicker they will come into bloom, requiring only 12 days to come into flower if planted around Easter. 



Mammoth Bulbs — Especially fine for growing in water. 12 for 60c; 100 for #4.50 



Soleil d'Or or Golden Sun — As easy to grow as the Paper Whites but just a little slower. Produces large cluster 

 of rich golden yellow flowers with a deep orange-cup. The blooms have an exquisite fragrance which, however, is 

 quite different from that of the Paper Whites. 12 for #2.00; 100 for #13.00
