HIGH CR/ 



POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful but deliciously sweet scented, 

 and of the easiest culture, very free flowering and continuing in long bloom. Their tall 

 spikes of bloom bear from six to one dozen flowers each. The pure white petals and gold 

 cups of some varieties, the yellow with deep orange cups of others and the self whites and 

 yellows render them great favorites. They are not quite so hardy as the other types 

 of Narcissus, and therefore should be carefully protected in cold climate when 

 grown in the garden. South of the freezing belt they are splendid for gardens 

 and " naturalize " well. 



For growing in pots or pans of soil or bowls of Henderson's Prepared Fibre 

 (see page 50) , they are especially adapted and can be had in flower in the house from 

 Christmas throughout the winter by bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from the 

 frame or cellar every week or two.

White Pearl. Large pure white flowers opening with cream

 and beautiful flowers are borne in large < lusters 



Paper White " Grandiflcra " or Large Flowering. This large 

 flowering type is such an improvement over the ordinary 

 " Paper White " that we have discontinued offering the 

 latter. The " Large Flowering " is more vigorous and earlier, 

 producing purest snow white flowers of 1 arge size and good sub- 

 stance in large trusses. It is perhaps more largely used for 

 early forcing for cut flowers than any other kind of bulb, being 

 brought in without difficulty by Christmas, and if required 

 even much earlier. Paper White narcissus do splendidly when 

 grown in pots of soil or in bowls of Henderson's Prepared 

 Fibre. (See page 50.)

Chinese Sacred Narcissus. 



The " Shui Sin Far " or Water Fairy Flower, Jos Flower or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is 

 called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, bearing in profusion chaste flowers of silvery- 

 white, with golden-yellow cups. They are of exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. 



The bulbs, of large size and great vitality, are of luxuriant growth, producing several spikes of 

 flowers; the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks after 

 planting) is one of the wonders of nature. " You can almost see them grow," succeeding almost 

 everywhere and with everybody. They do well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful 

 grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over 

 when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers throughout the 

 winter. 



Price, large true China-grown bulbs, 12c. each; $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100. // by Parcel 

 Post add postage at Zone Rate. Weight, 3 lb. per doz. 24 lbs. per 100. Single bulbs mailed free
