Narcissus. The Daffodils of Spring. 



' — '^^ — ^ 



" When Daffodils begin to peer — 



With hey ! the doxy over the dale — 

 Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year. 



For the red blood reigns in the Winter's pale." 



O O many glowing compliments have been paid this charming old-fashioned beauty of the garden by the 

 ^) bards and romancers of other days that, instead of attempting to extol her many graces, we shall 

 rest content by applying the observation of Traddles, " She is one of the dearest girls." 



The Narcissus is most desirable for house or garden culture, and should be treated in the same 

 manner recommended for the Hyacinth. Three or four bulbs may be grown in a single pot. In the 

 garden they may be planted in any out-of-the-way place, where they will continue to thrive and bloom 

 year after year without any care or attention, and will be among the first to respond to the fitful blandish- 

 ments of early Spring. 



The family is an extensive one and remarkable for its novel diversity of types and colors, in the 

 selection of which our efforts have been to secure the finest specimens.

In comparing our prices with others, remember that the bulbs we offer are first quality, and are far 

 superior to the second-grade bulbs, which are sold much cheaper, as they are a year younger, conse- 

 quently lack vitality and blooming capacity. All our bulbs are warranted to give splendid results under 

 ordinary cultivation.
