DAFFODILS or NARCISSUS 



N .z.trden is complete without a liberal planting of Daffodils or Narcissus. Perfectly hardy, they grow 

 and produce abundantly in almost any position, sun or shade, moist or dry. They are equally suited to 

 pot-culture for winter (lowering and are unsurpassed for naturalizing. 



Our Daffodil bulbs are grown for us in Oregon, where climate and the skill of America's hading Daffodil 

 specialist combine to produce the very best it is possible to buy.

USE THE CHART How to Plant Bulbs 



OUTDOOR CULTURE. Plant the bulbs as soon after September as pos- 

 sible, to enable the roots to make good growth before the cold weather sets in. 

 They require a moderately rich soil. For best results, apply Loma, Vigoro, 

 bheep Manure or Bone Meal. How deep to plant the different bulbs is shown 

 in the accompanying chart. 



INDOOR CULTURE. Plant hyacinths, tulips and narcissus in a sandy soil. 

 For forcing, bulbs should be planted from September until November; the 

 earlier they are potted the better. After they are potted they may be set out- 

 doors and covered with a few inches of soil until freezing weather, then brought 

 into a cool cellar and watered occasionally. If not possible to set them out- 



doors they may be placed in a cool cellar, covered with soil and watered regu- 

 larly. When the roots are well developed the bulbs may be brought into a 

 cool room where they will flower very quickly. 



GROWING PAPER-WHITE NARCISSUS IN WATER. Place a dozen 

 bulbs in a shallow bowl, cover with small stones and keep filled with water. 

 Place a few small pieces of charcoal in the bottom of the bowl to keep the 

 water from fouling. Keep in a moderately temperate room. They keep on 

 growing and produce beautiful flowers in about six weeks. Plant bulbs at 

 two-week intervals for a succession of blooms.
