BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTIIXG 



The Ajax Narcissus, or Trumpet Daffodils. 



The " Trumpet " section of the Narcissus family is perhaps the most popu- 

 lar of all. They are as hardy as rocks for garden beds and borders and in grass 

 they are unrivalled. The flowers are of large size; the perianth or spreading 

 wing-like petals according to the variety measure from 2 J to 4 inches across and 

 the trumpets vary from 2 to 4 inches in length. The flowers are of much sub- 

 stance, and gracefully poised on long, stiff stalks. 



A very satisfactory and easy way of growing daffodils in the house is in 

 " Henderson's Prepared Fibre " (offered on page 50). Full directions are given 

 in our Booklet " How to grow Bulbs in Henderson's Prepared Fibre " free to 

 customers on request.
