ALL WHITE POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS.

 flowering type is such an improver- ent over the ordinary

 latter. The " Large Flowering " is rrore vigorous and 

 earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 

 and good substance in large trusses. It is perhaps rrore 

 largely used for early forcing for cut flowers than any other 

 kind of bulb, being brought in without difficulty by 

 Christmas, and if required even rruch earlier. If buyer
