DOUBLE NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS 



No collection of Narcissus is complete without the double-flowering sorts. While not as 

 attractive as many of the single varieties, and lacking varieiy of coloring, they possess a 

 charm peculiarly their own. All are perfectly hardy and are much in 

 demand for cutting.

This is the Narcissus Orientalis, and is the variety grown by Chinamen for 

 decorating their temples or Joss houses on their New Year's Day, which occurs in 

 February. For the most part they are grown in water in fancy bowls, with ju<;t 

 enough peljbles around them to keep them from toppling over. They can also be 

 grown in pots in soil, sand or bulb fibre. Importations of these bulbs from China 

 was prohibited durin^ the war, but we expect to receive our supply this year, and 

 if planted on arrival (about October 1st) they will flower by Christmas, and a suc- 

 cession of flowers can be had by making several plantings. The white and yellow 

 flowers are borne in clusters, and are highly scented. Larr/e btdbs, 15 cts. each;
