NARCISSUS 



OR DAFFODILS 



A beautiful class of early blooming 

 flowers, not yet as highly appreciated as 

 they deserve, but becoming more popular 

 each season, both for outdoor blooming 

 and for use as cut flowers in the house. 

 Their colors varying from pure white to 

 bright orange, their delicious fragrance, 

 their easy culture and thriftiness, even in 

 a smoky city atmosphere, entitle them to 

 the greatest popularity. 



The double and single sorts are per- 

 fectly hardy and need not be disturbed 

 oftener than once in three or four years, 

 and not then unless they have become too 

 much crowded by ofT-sets. Plant in the 

 Fall in good garden soil about three or 

 four inches deep, and two to six inches 

 apart. 



The Polyanthus varieties, though not 

 hardy in our northern climate unless 

 planted in sandy soil and well protected 

 during the Winter, succeed admirably 

 outdoors in the South. For flowering 

 in pots in the house nothing can be more 

 satisfactory. They force admirably and 

 flower freely in ordinary good soil, with 

 apparently less care than the Hyacinths, 

 dense clusters, two and three flower stalks 

 iPaper White, will come into bloom as early
