PETER HENDERSON" & CO. — NARCISSUS AND CROCO 



In this genus we have a lung list of established favorites, 

 representative t\ pes of which we show by accompanying illus- 

 tration. All are remarkable for the beauty and fragrance of 

 their flowers, and some of the varieties are now grown in 1 

 quantities byflorists, lor cut flowers, during the winter months. 

 Tin.- leading sections and varieties we detail below. 



POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



Producing in early spring large clusters of white, yellow, and 

 citron-colored flowers of the most delicious fragrance. They 

 may be planted at any time from October to January singly in 

 pots, or two, three or four in a pot; if planted in the open 

 ground, manage in the same manner as the Hyacinth, but as 

 they are not so hardy, they should be planted five inches under 

 theeurface, and be protected by covering of leaves or manure 

 from .severe frosts.

 on the older kinds. The best <jf Iheni will be found embraced in the following list :
