NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS. 



There are no hardy plants which have 

 more points of merit than the Narcissus. 

 Perfectly hardy in all latitudes, if planted 

 in well-drained ground they multiply and 

 increase in attraction each year. They are 

 as easily forced as the Hyacinth, and a con- 

 stant succession of flowers may be had 

 from January to the middle of May. The 

 flowers are among the most attractive of 

 blooms, very lasting and of endless variety 

 of form and coloring. It is important that 

 they be not too strongly forced, otherwise 

 the culture is very simple. 



Single Narcissus. 



This section includes all varieties having 

 long, trumpet-shaped flowers. They are 

 the earliest to bloom.
