NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS 



There are several quite distinct classes of Narcissus; the old yellow Daffodil, or Trumpet Narcissus, the white flowered 

 Pheasant's Eye, or Poet Narcissus, and the Polyanthus Narcissus. The fiist two are among the hardiest and most desirable 

 plants of the garden, and give more satisfaction with less care than almost any other plant. 



When once established, they do not need to be reset for several years, and will thrive in almost any soil. They are not 

 only desirable for the garden, but equally so for the house. One to four bulbs set in a five-inch pot will bloom even in the 

 smoky atmosphere of the city, where their beautiful color and delicate fragrance are doubly welcome.
