DREER'S DAFFODILS 

 OR NARCISSUS 



There are no hardy bulbous plants which have mote points of 

 merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing 

 and doing well in almost any and every position, sun 

 or shade, moist or dry. All conditions seem to suit 

 them, although they have a preference for a good, 

 deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and every va- 

 cant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, under 

 the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to better ad- 

 vantage than by filling with Narcissus, and every 

 hardy border should have a number of clumps inter- 

 spersed through it. They are equally suitable for 

 pot culture for winter flowering. Three or four bulbs 

 can be put into a 5-inch or 6 inch pan or pot, and, 

 with the same treatment as given to Hyacinths, the 

 dull winter and early spring months can be made 

 bright with their exquisite gold and silver blossoms. 

 But it is outdoors that Narcissus do best, and once 

 planted need little attention, the clumps as a rule multiplying 

 and giving larger and finer results each year. We import only 

 the highest grade of bulbs, mostly double nose or mother bulbs, 

 which will produce several flowers each, and must not be com- 

 pared to the smaller, cheaper grade usually sent out. 



In describing Narcissus it is ustial to give the color of 

 the trumpet or crown and the color of the perianth or 

 petals surrounding the trumpet.
