HENDERSON'S SUPEP.IOR 



N arcissus or D affodils. 



"T"HE wonderful creations in the way of new varieties have awakened an interest 

 and enthusiasm among the lovers of flowers that has placed this, " The Flower 

 of the Poels. ' in the front rank of popularity, and they rherit all the praise that can 

 be bestowed upon them. Appearing, as they do, just after bleak winter, they turn 

 •Br gardens, lawns and woodland walks into gorgeous iriasses of gold and silver, with 

 a fragrance that is enchanting. They are equally valuable for growing in pots for 

 winter flowering, and are prized for pot culture, flowering in the house with the Hya- 

 cinth, and should be cultivated in the same way, 3 roots at least in a 4- or 5-inch pot. 

 The cut flowers of Daffodils are much in demand for bouquets and vases, and some of 

 the varieties are forced m immense quantities by florists for cut flowers in winter. 

 Narcissus are of the easiest culture, and all excepting the Polyanthus varieties on page 

 22. are perfectly hardy, tliough the latter hve through severe winters, i! protected. 



NOTE. — In describing Narcissus w^ have referred to the 'perianth' and " trumpet." 

 The latter is the long centre. jitnni^Llikt lube and the ' perianth is the surrounding row 

 of petals or leaves.
