Dreer’s Autumn Catalogue, 1904, 
NARCISSUS, or DAFF 
Special attention is directed to the two 
grand varieties “Emperor” and “Empress,” 
which are shown in colors on the cover of 
this catalogue and offered below. 
There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points 
of merit than the Narcissus. Perfectly hardy, growing and 
doing well in almost any and every position, sun or shade, - 
moist or dry. 
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. They aré equally desirable for \ 
pot culture for winter flowering. 3 or 4 bulbs can be put 
into a 5-inch 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 no further attention, the clumps multiplying and giving 
larger and finer results each year, and from an original 
planting of a few hundred bulbs in two or three years may 
be cut thousands of flowers without missing them. 
All conditions seem to suit it, and every f{¥Yy
