DREER'S DAFFODILS 

 OR NARCISSUS 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more 

 points of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly 

 hardy, growing and doing well in almost any and every 

 position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All conditions seem 

 to suit them, although they have a preference for a good, 

 deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and every 

 vacant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, 

 under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to 

 better advantage than by filling with Narcissus, 

 and every hardy border should have a number of 

 clumps interspersed through it. They are equally 

 suitable for pot culture for winter flowering. Three 

 or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch or 6-inch 

 pan or pot, and, with the same treatment as given 

 to Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring 

 months can be made bright with their exquisite 

 gold and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors that 

 Narcissus do best, and once planted need little at- 

 tention, the clumps as a rule multiplying and giving 

 larger and finer results each year. We import only 

 the highest grade of bulbs, mostly double nose or 

 mother bulbs, which will produce several flowers each, 

 and must Bot be compared to the smaller, cheaper 

 grade usually sent out. 



In describing Narcissus it is usual to give the 

 color of the trumpet or crown and the color of the 

 perianth or petals surrounding the trumpet.
