POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful but deliciously 

 sweet scented, and of the easiest culture, suitable for window garden, conserva- 

 tory or garden, very free flowering and continuing long in bloom. Their tall 

 spikes of bloom bear 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 protected 

 in cold climates when grown in the garden. South of the freezing belt they are 

 splendid for gardens and " naturalize " well.

White Pearl. Large pure white flowers opening with cream 

 cups, which change to pure white in a day or two; these 

 chaste and_beautif ul flowers are borne in large clusters 



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, pro- 

 ducing purest snow white flowers of large size and good sub- 

 stance 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. Paper White narcissus do splendidly when 

 grown in bowls of water and pebbles or moss the same as the 

 Chinese Narcissus. Price, S15.00 per 1000

" / never saw anything as beautiful as the flowers from your ' Paper White ' Xar- 

 cissus Bulbs I got from you last Xovember; one stalk had 13 flowers on."

Chinese Sacred Narcissus. 



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

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

 chaste flowers of silvery-white, with golden-yellow cups. They are of exquisite 

 beauty and entrancing perfume. 



The bulbs, of large size and great vitality, are of luxuriant growth, producing 

 several spikes of flowers; 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 

 almost 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 

 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. Price, large true China-grown bulbs. 10c. each; 11.00 per 

 doz.; S8.00 per 100. For free delivery add 24c. per doz., or $2.00 per 100 to price. 



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

 and are greatly admired:' FRAXK II". HILLS. Boosiek Falls, X. Y.
