HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 1930 
American Grown Narcissus 
Daffodils and Jonquils 
Among spring flowering bulbous plants the Narcissus family is one of the most im- 
portant and of world-wide popularity. With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties 
(offered on page 29) all are as hardy as rocks, grow, increase and flower year after year. 
They may be grown in garden beds, among hardy plants in herbaceous borders, or 
' 'naturalized," that is, grown as if wild in outlying portions of the lawn or grounds, on 
terraced slopes, and along semi-shaded paths. As cut flowers Narcissus are especially 
useful being of lasting quality and vasing beautifully. 
CULTURE. The bulbs should be planted as early as convenient in the autumn to 
make root growth before winter sets in. The bulbs may be left undisturbed for several 
years on good loamy soils. The depth to plant varies according t o t he size of t he bulbs — 
a covering of 2 to 3 inches of soil is about the average. The distance apart should be 
3 to 6 inches according to the size of the variety. For greenhouse or wjailow culture" 
treat same as Hyacinths, but plant three or more in a pot, instead ielf^single, bulbs.
