<HE wonderful creations in the way of newvarieties have awakened 



an interest and enthusiasm among the lovers of flowers that has 



placed this, " The riower of the Poets," in the front rank 



of popularity, and they merit all the praise that canbebestowed 



upon them. Appearing, as they do, just after bleak winter, they turn 



our gardens, lawns and woodland walks into gorgeous masses of gold 



and silver, with a fragrance that is enchanting. They are equally 



valuable for growing in pots for winter flowering and are prized for pot culture, 



flowering in the house with the Hyacinth, and should be cultivated in the same 



way — 3 roots at least in a 4 or 5 inch pot. The cut flowers of Daffodils are 



much in demand for bouquets and vases, and some of the varieties are forced 



in immense quantities by florists for cut flowers in winter. Narcissus are of the 



easiest culture, and all, excepting the Polyanthus varieties on page 22, are perfectly 



hardy, though the latter live through the severe winters — if well protected — and 



produce larger and more abundant flowers than when grown in the greenhouse. 



Our collection has been much enriched, and embraces, in addition to -the old 



favorites, many magnificent new hybrids.
