The Poet's or "Pheasant's Eye" NarCJSSUS 

 NARCISSUS POET1CUS. 



This section, Narcissus Poeticus, has instead of a trumpet or crown a 



small wide mouthed cup. All are hardy as rocks, producing long 



stemmed fragrant flowers that are prized for cutting. They thrive 



in gardens, and for naturalizing in grass or semi-wild places they 



are magnificent; by mixing the early and late flowering sorts a 



continuous display of bloom may be enjoyed for weeks. For 



winter flowering in pots or bowls of fibre (see page 5j) select 



the earlier varieties and grow on cool and slow.
