NARCISSUS. 
The Narcissus is a very fine genus of 
_early-blooming plantsincluding the Daffo- 
dil and Poet’s Narcissus. Most of the 
varieties are perfectly hardy, and may be 
planted like the Hyacinth. They do well 
in nearly any soil, and are very effective 
when planted in groups and lines; with a 
little extra care in providing an under- 
growth of Anemones, Scillas, blue Myo- 
sotis, pink Silene, or other dwarf spring 
flower, the effect is truly magnificent.
