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 in ordinary soil. They are, with few 

 exceptions, suitable for naturalizing, 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. 



If wanted by parcel post, add postage at your zone rate as follows; 

 On First-size bulbs, for 2 lbs. per doz., or 10 lbs. per 100; on Mam- 

 moth double-crown bulbs, for 3 lbs. per doz., or 24 lbs. per 100.
