Double- Flowering 

 Narcissus or Daffodils 



No collection of Narcissus is complete ^s'ithout the double- 

 flowering sorts, ^^■hile not as attractive as many of the single 

 varieties, and lacking variety of coloring, they possess a charm 

 peculiarly their own. AU are perfectly hardy and are much in 

 demand for cutting.

 DaJfodiF). Double pure white; very sweet scented. This 

 beautiful variety cannot be forced. It succeeds best planted 

 in rather heavy soil, in partial shade, and where it will not 

 suffer for lack of moisture. 60 cts. per doz.; S4.00 per 100;

 S55.00 per 1000. 



Van Sion. {Telemoniiis Plenus). The famous old Dutch Daffodil;

 quantities for forcing; also excellent for bedding in conjunction

 a beautiful contrast when used with a blue variety. Exlra

Jonquils 



Jonquils are a small flowering type of Narcissus, and are 

 prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms, and the 

 ease with which they may be grown. Half a dozen b\ilbs 

 can be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as 

 recommended for Hj-acinths (see page 27), a fine display can be had 

 from January to April. Liberal planting should be made outdoors. 

 A clump of 50 or more bulbs put here and there among the shrubbery, 

 or interspersed in the hardy border, or naturalized in the grass, give an 

 indescribably rich effect in the early spring, while a vase of the cut 

 blooms will fill a room with the rich, spicy odor. 



Single Sweet-scented ( Narcissus J onquilla). Rich buttery -yellow; 

 not as large a flower as the others, but most fragrant and very free- 

 flowering. 50 cts. per doz.; S3.25 per 100; $27.50 per 1000. 



Campernelle (Narcissus Odorous). A grand variety, producing freely very sweetly 

 scented yellow flowers; a strong grower, doing well in almost any position. 50 cts. 

 per doz.; S3.50 per 100; $32.00 per 1000. 



Campernelle Rugulosus. The largest and finest of all Jonquils; a handsome 

 flower; color pure yellow; very fragrant. 60 cts. per doz.; S4. 25 per 100; $38.00 

 per 1000. 



Odorous Plenus (Double Campernelle Jonquil). A charming variety bearing on tall 

 graceful stems, double yellow fragrant flowers of elegant form. 65 cts. per doz.; 

 84.50 per 100; 840.00 per 1000,
