DREER'S BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 



DREER'S SUPERB 

 Narcissi, or Daffodils 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissi or Daffodils. 

 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 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 hardy border 

 should have a number of clumps interspersed through 

 it. They are equally suitable for pot culture for 

 winter flowering. 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 Narcissus 

 do best, and once planted need little attention, the clumps as a 

 rule multiplying and giving larger and finer results each year.
