BULBS FOR AUTUMIM PLANTirMG-^ 



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. 



Daffodils are also among our most valuable bulbous plants for winter flower- 

 ing in the house or green house. The bulbs potted in the autumn and plunged 

 in the open ground, cold frame or placed in a cool airy cellar, until rooted, may 

 then be brought into the house for flowering. By bringing in a few pots at 

 intervals of 10 days or two weeks a succession of bloom may be maintained 

 throughout the winter. 



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

 "Henderson's Prepared Fibre" Coffered on page 47) with this china or glass 

 bowls without drainage holes may be used instead of pots. These raay be 

 placed anywhere without danger of soiling carpet or furniture from drip. Full 

 directions are given in our Booklet " How to grow Bulbs in Henderson's Pre- 

 pared Fibre " free to customers on request.
