PETER HENDERSON & CO. NARCISSUS. 



Narcissus. 



In this genus we have &■ long list of established 

 favorites, representative types of which we show by 

 accompanying illustration. All are remarkable for the 

 beauty and fragrance of their flowers, and some of the 

 varieties are now grown in large quantities by florists, 

 for cut flowers, during the winter months. The leading 

 sections and varieties we detail below. 



POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



Producing in early spring large clusters of white, yellow, and 

 citron-colored flowers of the most delicious fragrance. They may 

 be planted at any time from October to January, singly in pots, or 

 two, three or four in a pot; if planted in the open ground, manage 

 in tne same manner as tie Hyacinth, but as they are not so hardy. 

 they should be planted five inches undT the surface, and be pro- 

 tected by covering of leaves or manure from severe frosts.

CROCUS. 



One of the earliest of spring flowers, and too well known to need any special mention. We might state, 

 however, that the newer named varieties all bear very large flowers, and are in every way great improvements on the 

 older kinds. The best of them will be found embraced in the following list:
