NATURALIZED PLANTING OF NARCISSI. 



NARCISSI— DAFFODILS 



These bright yellow flowers, dancing like sunbeams among their dark green foliage, make an unusually attrac 

 live display in the spring. A great profusion of these dainty graceful flowers may be had from March until well 

 into May by a careful selection of early, mid-season and late flowering varieties. Daffodils make handsome subjects 

 for beds, borders, group plantings among shrubbery, around trees, on grassy slopes of banks or about the edges of 

 ponds or streams. They are very easy tp grow and require little or no attention, for when once established they 

 multiply and increase in beauty from year to year. 



YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY. The embargo upon all kinds of Narcissus Bulbs goes into effect January 1st, 1926. 

 This means from that date no more Holland grown Narcissus Bulbs will be permitted entry into the United States, 

 except under special permit from the Federal Horticultural Board for propagating purposes only. We, therefore. 

 advise our friends and customers to plant more Narcissus bulbs this year. The bulbs we will have to offer another 

 year will be American grown stock — some varieties will be absolutely unobtainable and all varieties will be more 

 expensive. 



OUTDOOR CULTURE. Same as for Hyacinths except that Narcissus bulbs should be planted 5 to 8 inches deep 

 and 3 to 5 inches apart, depending on the size of the bulb. Narcissi will grow in any soil and in any position, but 

 they prefer a good rich soil and a partially shaded position. 



POT CULTURE. Same as for Hyacinths. Place 3 or 4 bulbs in a 5 or 6-inch pot or pan. 



NOTE. In the following descriptions of varieties those marked "A" are the earliest to flower; "B" next and "C" 

 last. The numbers are the heights in inches. "Trumpet" means the tube or funnel-shaped part of the flower. 

 "Perianth" is the outer row of petals or wings.
