There are no hardy bulbous plants which have- 

 more points of merit than the Narcissus or Daf- 

 fodils. 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 haidy border should have a 

 number of clumps interspersed through it. They 

 are equally suitable for pot culture for winter flower- 

 ing. 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 Nar- 

 cissus do best, and once planted need no further atten- 

 tion, the clumps as a rule multiplying and giving 

 larger and finer results each year, and from an origi- 

 nal planting of a few hundred bulbs in two or three 

 years may be cut thousands of flowers without missing 

 them. We import only the highest grade of bulbs, 

 mostly double nose or mother bulbs, which will pro- 

 duce several flowers each, and must not 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.
