Narcissi are Ready for Delivery in September. 



The very beautiful species and varieties of Narcissus 

 ' ^'^KP among tlie most popular and largely grown of spring- 



^ ^ ^ f flowering bulbs, and that deservedly, too, for they are 



v Ij^' certainly " the fairest among them all." Their exquisite 



ij^^B; IiEh grace, beauty and charm of habit have been immor- 



^li^^ -.-^J^^m. /.\ ]M^S talized in the poetry of all times. No garden should 



be without them. To know them is to love them, and to 

 love them is a liberal education. 



They are all of the easiest cultivation, thriving m al- 

 most any soil and situation, and they may be left alone 

 for several years after once being planted. They do best, 

 mr^jim Mjf.'jr > however, in a deep and somewhat stiff soil, and in a par- 



^/ ' \^^^^^HH|IL tially shaded position. They are well adapted for plant- 



' - jAj^^^^^^l^^^^i^^^p ing by the sides of streams, or lakes, or ponds, and in 

 ^ - lilP mixed flower or shrubbery borders. They are also suit- 



able for naturalizing in the grass, by the side of wood- 

 land walks or in open spaces between trees and shrubs. 

 With the exception of the Polyanthus section, they are 

 all perfectly hardy. 



rp ^■■\ - Narcissi are also very suitable for growing in pots, re- 



X quiring about the same treatment as hyacinths, with 3 or 



i m " '"^^Rl bulbs in a 5-inch pot. Some of the varieties are grown 



' in large numbers by florists for winter cut-flowers.
