R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



Single Narcissus Spurius. 



SINGLE NARCISSUS. 



The commercial florists have been foremost 

 to give the Narcissi or Daffodils the attention 

 due them. They have learned how easily and 

 successfully these lovely flowers may be forced 

 into bloom during winter (even as early as 

 Christmas) and how fascinating and lasting are 

 the blossoms. They may be planted in pots or 

 bulb pans six inches or more in diameter, several 

 bulbs in each, according to size, and treated in 

 the same manner as Hyacinths. 



Narcissi are equally desirable for spring bed- 

 ding. They should be planted in October or 

 early in November to produce the best results. 

 The bulbs should be set from four to five inches 

 deep ; the larger sorts five or six inches apart 

 and the small varieties three to four inches. 

 They should never be planted in very windy 

 situations. Groups of Daffodils in borders of 

 hardy herbaceous plants and along the edges 

 of shrubbery beds are exceedingly effective and 

 delicately beautiful. They are charming, too, 

 planted in beds, especially when combined with 

 an undergrowth of the blue Scilla Siberica, 

 Forget-me-not, or other dwarf spring flowers.
