Double Roman. 



^ Polyanthus Narcissus ^ 



POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS have come to the front 

 as popular and satisfactory flowers for pot culture in 

 Winter. 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 fer- 

 tilizing 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 three inches of the 

 top, then set up the bulbs and cover them loosely with i^ 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 tempera- 

 ture and moisture, and they will grow famously and delight 

 all with their lovely flowers.
