HIGH G3RADE BUILBS FOR AUTU 



The Ajax Narcissus, or Trumpet Daffodils, 



The " Trumpet " section of the Narcissus family is perhaps the most popu- 

 lar of all. They are as hardy as rocks for garden beds and borders and in grass 

 they are unrivalled. The flowers are of large size; the perianth or spreading 

 wing-like petals according to the variety measure from 2| to 4 inches across and 

 the trumpets vary from 2 to 4 inches in length. The flowers are of much sub- 

 stance, and gracefully poised on long, stiff stalks. 



A very satisfactory and easy way of growing daffodils in the house is in 

 " Henderson's Prepared Fibre " (offered on 2d page cover). Full directions are 

 given in our Booklet " How to grow Bulbs in Henderson's Prepared Fibre " 

 free to customers on request, 



CUTTING DAFFODILS FOR HOUSE DECORATION AND EXHIBITION. 



To obtain very fine blooms Daffodils should be cut in a young state, just 

 when the bud is bursting, placed in water and allowed to expand in a green- 

 house or sitting-room. The blooms opened in this way are larger and finer in 

 texture and purer in color than those which develop out of doors.
