These are among the most charming of our spring flowers, 

 defying, in their earliness, the rough winds of April to grace our 

 lawns and borders. Plant them in masses or have a few pans in 

 your window-garden, but, by all means, grow some. 



Daffodils may be treated as advised for hyacinths; they are 

 not particular as to soil and will thrive for a number of years in 

 ordinary soil. They are, with few exceptions, suitable for nat' 

 uralizing and, while preferring partial shade, will thrive in full 

 sun exposure. They are very desirable for pot culture, three to 

 five bulbs in a 5 or 6'inch pot producing an attractive group. 

 By planting one or more varieties in succession, such a display 

 may be enjoyed throughout the first three months of the year.
