NEW NARCISSUS “POETAZ” HYBRIDS. 
This new type, produced by crossing N. Poeticus Ornatus and N. Poly 
anthus varieties, posseses characteristics peculiar to both parents, the in- 
dividual flowers having the Poeticus shape and size and are borne in clusters 
of from 3 to 8 flowers to a stem. They are perfectly hardy, free flowering

of them is simply covered with a mass of flowers; fragrance delightful. We 
offer this season three distinct varieties of these new ‘‘ Poetaz’”’ hybrids,
