NARCISSUS OR DAFFODIL 



Bloom in Early Spring 



Daffodil and Narcissus are really two names for the same flowers. Daffodil is the English name, and 

 Narcissus the Latin. Among gardeners and those in the flower trade, however, the flowers with large 

 trumpets are known as Daffodils; those with small cups are Narcissus. The difficulty of distinguishing 

 between them increases somewhat each year because of the many beautiful hybrids that are being de- 

 veloped. Jonquils can be recognized particularly by their grass-Uke foliage. 



Plant Narcissus bulbs outdoors somewhat earher than those of Tulips. August or September is suitable. 

 Set them four or five inches apart and about four inches deep, measuring from the shoulder of the bulb to 

 the surface of the ground. 



Unless otherwise indicated our Narcissus are all choicest quality, first size, double nose bulbs. 



TRUMPET DAFFODILS 



These flowers are of very large size. The perianth or 



petals are from 23^ to 4 inches across, while the trumpet 



or tube is 1 ^ to 2 inches in length, often measuring longer ( 



than the petals. The blossoms are borne on 



stiff stems from 12 to 18 inches long.
