AMERICAN GROWN NARCISSUS, 

 DAFFODILS and JONQUILS 



Among spring flowering bulbous plants the Narcissus family is one of the most important 

 and of world-wide popularity. With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties (offered on 

 page 29) all are as hardy as rocks, grow, increase and flower year after year. They may be 

 grown in garden beds, among hardy plants in herbaceous borders, or "naturalized," that is, 

 grown as if wild in outlying portions of the lawn or grounds, on terraced slopes, and along 

 semi-shaded paths. As cut flowers Narcissus are especially useful being of lasting quality and 

 vasing beautifully. 



CULTURE. The bulbs should be planted as early as convenient in the autumn to make 

 root growth before winter sets in. The bulbs may be left undisturbed for several years on good 

 loamy soils. The depth to plant varies according to the size of the bulbs — a covering of 2 to 

 3 inches of soil is about the average. The distance apart should be 3 to inches according to 

 the size of the variety. For greenhouse or window culture treat same as Hyacinths, but plant 

 three or more in a pot, instead of single bulbs. Send for our pamphlet "How to Grow Bulbs"

NOTE. — The "perianth" is the surrounding row of petals or wings. The trumpet "crown" 

 or "cup" is the center portion of the flower.
