Narcissi, or Daffodils 



Many beautiful hybrids are being produced, and as stocks increase and 

 prices moderate, the cataloguing of many beautiful new varieties will be 

 permitted. A number of additions have been made to the present cata- 

 logue, and a trial of these will, we believe, afford much pleasure. Daffodils 

 may be treated as advised for hyacinths; they are not particular as to soil, 

 and will thrive for a number of years 



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 at- 

 tractive group. By planting one or more varieties in succession, such a display may be enjoyed throughout the first three months of the year. 

 If to be mailed, add 12 cts. per doz. or $1 per 100 to catalogue prices
