NARCISSUS 



OR DAFFODILS 



A beatitiful class of early blooming 

 flowers, not yet as highly appreciated 

 as they deserve, but becoming more 

 popular each season, both for outdoor 

 blooming and for use as cut flowers in 

 the house. Their colors varying from 

 pure white to bright orange, their deli- 

 cious fragrance, their easy culture and 

 thriftiness, even in a smoky city atmos- 

 phere, entitle them to the greatest 

 popularity. 



The double and single sorts are per- 

 fectly hardy and need not be disturbed 

 oftener than once in three or four years, 

 and not then unless they have "become 

 too much crowded by off-sets. Plant in 

 the fall in good garden soil about three 

 or four inches deep, and two to six 

 inches apart. 



The Polyanthus varieties, though not 



hardy in our northern climate unless 



planted in sandy soil and well protected 



during the winter, succeed admirably 



outdoors in the South. For flowering 



in pots in the house nothing can be more 



satisfactory. They force admirably and 



flower freely in ordinary good soil, with

 dense clusters, two and three flower stalks 

 Paper White, will come into bloom as early 

 suits them best. Pot in the fall, let 

 them root for two months in the dark, 

 then remove to the conservatory or 

 sitting room, and water as often as 

 the soil requires moisture.
