AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 1906. 



Narcissus Trumpet Maximus. 



LARGE TRUMPET NARCISSUS. 



SINGLE NARCISSUS. 



T"HE commercial florists have been foremost to give the Narcissi or 

 * Daffodils the attention due them. They have learned how easily 

 and successfully these lovely flowers may be forced into bloom during 

 winter (even as early as Christmas), and how fascinating and lasting 

 are the blossoms. They may be planted in pots or bulb pans six 

 inches or more in diameter, several bulbs in each, according to size, 

 and treated in the same manner as Hyacinths. 



Narcissi are equally desirable for Spring bedding. They should 

 be planted in October or early in November to produce the best 

 results. 



The bulbs should be set from four to five inches deep ; the larger 

 sorts five or six inches apart and the small varieties three to four 

 inches. They should never be planted in very windy situations- 

 Groups of Daffodils in borders of hardy herbaceous plants and 

 along the edges of shrubbery beds are exceedingly effective and delicately 

 beautiful. They 

 are charming 

 too, planted in 

 beds, especially 

 when combined 

 with an under- 

 growth of the 

 blue Scilla Si- 

 berica, Forget- 

 me-not, or other 

 dwarf spring 

 flowers.
