These arc among t lit- most charming of our spring (lowers, 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, hut, l>\ all means, trow some. 



Daffodils may be treated as advised for hyacinths; they an- not 

 particular as to soil and ssill thrive for a number of years in ordinary 

 soil. They are, with lew exceptions, suitable for naturalizing and, 

 \\ hile 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.
