flAfcoesue, 



All the varieties are extremely hardy and 

 popular as a border flower. The Single Nar- 

 cissus, of which we give an illustration, is 

 quite an attractive flower, the central cup be- 

 ing of a very different color from the six 

 petals. Some have the petals of a light yellow 

 and the cup orange; others have the petals 

 white and the cup yellow; while the Poet's 

 Narcissus is snowy white, the cup cream color, 

 with a delicate fringed edge of red or orange. 

 The Double varieties are very desirable. The 

 well known Daffodil is of this class. Its true 

 name is Von Sinn. Orange Phoenix is some- 

 times called Butter-and-Eggs as the large 

 petals are creamy yellow and the short ones 

 orange. 



The Polyanthus Narcissus are very attract- 

 ive and showy flowers, producing on a tall 

 stem large clusters of white and yellow cup- 

 shaped blossoms, and are particularly admired 

 for their sweet jasmine perfume ; they contrast 

 finely with the Hyacinth, for garden, pot or 

 glass culture and require the same treatment.

The pretty Snowdrop, " in habit white and plain," is the first 

 of all flowers to herald the approach of spring. Long before 

 any other flower, it shoots up its slender stem, and displays its 

 white, drooping corols, while the spotless snow still covers the 

 shady recesses of the garden. They flourish well in any soil, and 

 bloom best if not transplanted oftener than every three years. 

 Being dwarf, they should, when planted in the garden, he set 

 near the edge of walks, where they show to advantage. They 

 also flourish well in sand or moss, or in pots or baskets.
