Narcissus or 

 Daffodils 



This year, after having made careful 

 check tests of bulbs from all the prin- 

 cipal growing sections in this country, 

 we are able to offer a strain of Narcissus 

 second only to the highest pre-embargo 

 quality. 



Plant bulbs so that they are covered 

 by IV2 times their own depth in a posi- 

 tion where they need not be disturbed 

 and where the leaves may be left to turn 

 brown before cutting off. If planted in 

 the lawn or shrubbery border, no Winter 

 protection will be necessary.

 of confusion in ordering the dif-
