POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS.

^Polyanthus Narcissus^ 



POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS have come to the front as 

 popular and satisfactory flowers for pot culture in Win- 

 ter. They are of the easiest culture and can be potted any 

 time from October to January. Light, loamy soil can be 

 used, as the bulbs require little or no fertilizing material. 

 Several bulbs can be grown in a large pot or box, and, as 

 will be seen by our engraving, the effect is extremely lovely 

 and graceful. To secure good drainage, cover the bottom of 

 the pot or box with broken crockery, sand or pebbles ; fill 

 with soil to within 3 inches of the top, then set up the bulbs 

 and cover them loosely with 1 % to 2 inches of soil ; water well 

 and place in a cool, dry cellar or similar place. They will 

 need no other attention except an occasional look to see they 

 are not getting too dry. When the first shoot appears bring 

 into full light, moderate temperature and moisture, and they 

 will grow famously and delight all with their lovely flowers. 



We offer tlie choicest varieties ; first 

 quality bulbs, sure to bloom.
