DAFFODILS. 



No class of bulbs is more satisfactory and none so easily taken 

 care of as the Daffodils. They appear just after the snow and ice of 

 winter and enliven our gardens and lawns. Nothing can excel the 

 beauty and chastity of their blooms, and they have the advantage of 

 being good for an unlimited number of seasons, if planted out m 

 some spot where they can be allowed to mature their foliage. They 

 are perfectly hardv and withstand our severe winters without protec- 

 tion. Should be given the same treatment as recommended for Hya- 

 cinths, either for indoor or outdoor cultivation.
