Polyanthus Narcissus. 



The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful but delieiously 

 sweet-scented, and of the easiest culture, very free flowering and suitable for win- 

 dow garden, conservatory or garden, continuing long in bloom. They bear tall 

 spikes of bloom, bearing from six to one dozen flowers each. The pure white 

 petals and gold cups of some varieties, the yellow with deep orange cups of others 

 and the self whites and yellows render them great favorites. They are not quite 

 so hardy as the other types of Narcissus and therefore should be carefully pro- 

 tected in cold climates when grown in the garden.

ALL WHITE POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



Paper White " Grandiflora " or Large Flowering. This large 

 flowering type is such an improvement over the ordinary 

 " Paper White " that we have discontinued offering the 

 latter. The " Large Flowering " is more vigorous and 

 earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 

 and good substance in large trusses. It is perhaps more 

 largely used for early forcing for cut flowers than any other 

 kind of bulb, being brought in without difficulty by 

 Christmas, and if required even much earlier. If buyer 

 pays transit at $18.00 per 1000 



Scilly White. Large clusters of medium sized snow white 

 flowers with a cream white cup; early and free flowering; 

 dwarf; very popular cut flower in London 



White Pearl. Perianth pure white, cup almost white, large 

 and beautiful flowers 



White Perfection (5). Very beautiful though rather late; 

 large trusses of large flowers, perianth pure white, cup 

 nearly white

CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS. 



The " Shui Sin Far " or Water Fairy Flower, Joss Flower or Flower of the 

 Gods. etc.. as it is called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, bearing in 

 lavish profusion chaste flowers of silvery-white, with golden-yellow cups. They 

 are of exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. It is grown by the Chinese, 

 according to their ancient customs, to herald the advent of their new year and 

 as a symbol of good luck. 



The bulbs are grown by a method known to themselves, whereby they attain 

 great size and vitality, ensuring luxuriant growth and immense spikes of flowers; 

 in fact, the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (four to 

 six weeks after planting) is one of the wonders of nature. " You can almort 

 see them grow," succeeding almost everywhere and with everybody. They do 

 well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls 

 of water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when 

 in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers 

 throughout the winter. (See cut.) Price, large true China-grown bulbs, de- 

 li-ercr! free in U. S.. 12c. each; SI. 25 per doz.; S9.00 per 100. 



Mammoth Bulbs, 25c. each; S2.50 per doz.; 818.00 per 100. 



" The Chinese Lily Bulbs 1 got of you a few weeks ago are one mass of blossoms, 

 and are greatly admired " FRANK W. HILLS, Honsick Falls, N. Y.
