In this section is the true Narcissus. Parkinson called it the Purple-ringed Daffodil : it is now called 

 N. Poeticus, of which there are several varieties. Angustifolius, or Stellatus, flowers in March ; Recurvus, Majalis, 

 etc., flower in May ; and the double form, with its snow-white blossoms, continues blooming till well nigh the 

 middle of June. Many of our readers may remember the grand effect produced in the borders of old kitchen 

 gardens where these were wont to be grown in long unbroken bands, a sight not readily to be forgotten ; the 

 snow-white flowers of the double peering from amidst the graceful green foliage on the one hand, and the purple 

 ring contrasting with the pure white of the single varieties on the other. Biflorus, the two-flowered species, is a 

 fine plant ; Gracilis, as its name implies, is slender and graceful ; Intermedius is a beautiful dwarf variety ; and 

 Tenuior, sometimes called the Silver Jonquil, is beautiful associated with Gracilis. 



The Tazetta, or Bunch-flowered species, offered in this Group, are remarkably beautiful, being more dwarf, 

 and generally with smaller heads of bloom than the varieties of Tazetta we offer under the head of Polyanthus 

 Narcissus.

Group \\\.— continued. POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 



The Polyanthus, or Tazetta Narcissus, in beds or masses in the flower garden, produces a grand effect, and 

 forms a striking contrast to the Tulip and the Hyacinth. The varieties offered are perfectly distinct, so tnat they 

 "may be grouped together for effect, or in separate masses. Where large quantities of cut flowers are in 

 demand plant these flowers freely, in or out of doors, and they will not faiLjo give the utmost satisfaction. In 

 the open ground the crown of the bulb should be from six to seven inches uhdpr the surface.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS, FOR POT CULTURE. 



The rich goldm-yellaw and the snow-white large heads of bloom, indicate the Polyanthus Narcissus as 

 indispensable where flowers are cultivated for winter and spring decoration, as in pots, glasses, ajid jardinets ; 

 mid while the culture is as simple as for the Hyacinth, the results are in all respects equally satisfactory, and, 

 like the Hyacinth, when three bzdbs are grown together in a 6 or 7-inch pot, the effect is greatly enhanced. 



Where flowers are in demand in December and early in "January, the Paper White a?td Double Roman 

 Narcissus are invaluable. Pot them early in the autumn, and when well rooted comme?ice forcing as required 

 Thus treated, they and the Roman Hyacinth can be had i?i bloom from early in November.
