 NARCISSUS POETICUS. 



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 



/inter flowering in pots or bowls of fibre (see page 47) select 



the earlier varieties and grow on cool and slow.
