NARCISSUS, DAFFODILS, AND JONQUILS. 
Among spring flowering bulbous plants the narcissus family—which in- 
cludes Daffodils and Jonquils—is one of the most important and of world-wide 
popularity. The recent wonderful creations in the way of new varieties having 
awakened a new interest amounting to enthusiasm with flower lovers par- 
ticularly in Europe. With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties (offered 
on page 26) all are as hardy as rocks, grow, increase and flower year after year 
in any ordinarily good soil. 
They may be grown in garden beds, among hardy plants in herbaceous 
borders, or “‘ naturalized,’’ that is, grown as if wild i in outlying portions of the 
lawn or grounds, on terraced slopes, stream side banks and along semi-shaded 
paths. ‘lhe flowers of the different types are of endless beautiful and graceful 
torms with a variety of color combinations and many are delightfully fragrant. 
The early sorts commence blooming in March, some in favored locations 
even in February. Their waving masses of silver and gold are not only en- 
chantingly beautiful but doubly welcome appearing as they do just after bleak 
winter. With a selection of mid-season and late flowering kinds an endless 
succession of bloom may be enjoyed well into May. 
But it is not only in the open that Narcissus, Daffodils and Jonquils may 
be grown, for they are equally valuable for winter flowering in greenhouse or 
window garden, thriving in pots, pans or flats, and some of them in giasses of 
water like hyacinths or in bowls of moss or cocoanut fibre and water. The 
Carliest sorts may be flowered in the house by Christmas, the later varieties 
following in succession throughout the winter. As cut flowers Narcissus are 
especially useful being of lasting quality and vasing beautifully. 
NOTE. In describing Narcissus, Daffodils, etc., we have referred to the ‘* peri- 
anth,” and “trumpet,” “ crown” or “cub.” The latter is the centre, funnel-like 
tube, and the ‘* perianth’’ is the surrounding row of petals or wings. 
The figure following the name of the variety indicates its relative earliness; 
(1) first earlv; (2) 2d early; (3) mid-season; (4) late; (5) very late. 
THE AJAX NARCISSUS OR TRUMPET 
DAFFODILS. 
The ‘‘ Trumpet ’’ section of the Narcissus family is perhaps the most popular 
of all. The flowers are of large size; the perianth or spreading wing-like petals 
measure according to the variety, trom 24 to 4 inches across, and the trumpets 
vary from 2 to 4 inches in length. The flowers are of much substance, and 
being gracefully poised on long, stiff stalks, are especially beautiful when cut 
for vases and table decorations, lasting in water for over a week.
