BULBS AND SEEDS FOR AUTUMN, 1896. 



NARCISSUS. 



q^HIS "Flower of the Poets," of the 

 spring garden and of the winter 

 window has become so popular that 

 the bulbs are now sold in immense 

 quantities, and largely forced for cut 

 blooms. An enchanting fragrance 

 breathes from their white petals and 

 gold and silver cups, which are ver\- 

 pure and chaste in coloring and pic- 

 turesque in form. All the species and 

 varieties which we offer bloom freely, 

 are quite easy to grow in a number of 

 different and interesting ways, and, 

 excepting the Polyanthus section, are 

 entirely hardy. 



GARDEN NARCISSUS. 



The single and double garden Nar- 

 cissus are very bright and attractive 

 w^hen planted in lines or masses along open borders 

 where they can remain undisturbed. They thrive 

 in almost any soil, and when given the same cul- 

 ture as the Hyacinth, increase and improve for 

 years. After a long time the roots become matted 

 ether, so that division and replanting are necessar}'. 

 forced slowly, most of them can be made to yield 

 ir bloom in winter.
