POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



The Polyanthus varieties of Narcissus are not only beautiful but deliciously sweet 

 and of the easiest culture, very free flowering and continuing in long bloom. V 

 spikes of bloom bear from six to one dozen flowers each. The pure white petals anc 

 cups of some varieties, the yellow with deep orange cups of others and the self white 

 and yellows render them great favorites. They are not quite so hardy as the othe 

 types of Narcissus, and therefore should be carefully protected in cold climate 

 when grown in the garden. South of the freezing belt they are splendid for 

 gardens and " naturalize " well. For growing in pots or pans of soil or bowls 

 of Henderson's Prepared Fibre (see 2d page cover), they are especially adapted 

 and can be had in flower in the house from Christmas throughout the winter by 

 bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from the frame or cellar every week or two.

 Paper White " Grandiflora " or Large Flowering. This 

 large flowering type is such an improvement over the 

 ordinary " Paper White " that we have discontinued 

 offering the latter. The " Large Flowering " is more vigor- 

 ous and earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large 

 size and good substance in large trusses. It is perhaps more 

 largely used for early forcing for cut flowers than any other 

 kind of bulb, being brought in without difficulty by Christmas, 

 and if required even much earlier. Paper White Narcissus do 

 splendidly when grown in pots of soil or in bowls of Hen- 

 derson's Prepared Fibre. (See 2d page cover.)

Chinese Sacred Narcissus. 



The " Shui Sin Far " or Water Fairy Flower, Jos Flower or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is 

 called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, bearing in profusion chaste flowers of silvery- 

 white, with golden-yellow cups. They are of exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. 



The bulbs, of large size and great vitality, are of luxuriant growth, producing several spikes of 

 flowers; the incredibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks after 

 planting) is one of the wonders of nature. " You can almost see them grow," succeeding almost 

 everywhere and with everybody. They do well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful 

 grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over 

 when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers throughout the 

 winter. Price, largest true China-grown bulbs, 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $16.00 per 100.
