NARCISSUS 



OR DAFFODILS 



There are three distinct classes of Narcissus: The old yellow 

 Daffodil, or Trumpet Narcissus, the white 

 flowered Pheasant's E^-e or Poet's Narcis- 

 sus, and the Polyanthus Narcissus. The 

 first two are among the hardiest and most 

 desirable plants of the garden, and will do 

 better and give inore satisfaction with less 

 care than almost any other plant. When 

 once established they do not need to be 

 reset for several 3'ears, and will thrive in 

 almost any soil. The}- are not only desir- 

 able for the garden, but equalh^ so for the 

 house. One to four bulbs set in a five- 

 inch pot will be sure to give flowers even 

 in the smoky atmosphere of the city, 

 where their beautiful color and delicate 

 fragrance are doubl}" welcome. 



The Polyanthus varieties need some 

 protection through winter at the North, but will do 

 finely without it at the South. They are exceed- 

 ingly valuable for flowering in pots in the house. 

 The Paper White may be made to come into bloom 

 in December, and this, with other varieties of Nar- 

 will give a continuous succession of profuse bloom 

 until spring. Narcissus thrive best in a cool temperature. 

 Pot as soon as received; set in a cool, dark room, and keep 

 moderately moist for one to two months so that they may root; then remove to the 

 window or conservatory for flowering,
