The very beautiful species and varieties of Narcissus 

 ^ ' x^v are among the most popular and largely grown of spring- 



*i flowering bulbs, and that deservedly, too, for they are 



aHHH \ ^ certainly "the fairest among them all." Their exquisite 



VHH ^Mk ; '...-^ grace, beauty and charm of habit have been immor- 



. ^pPHfflL , ^^I^B^'' i'- talized in the poetry of all times. No garden should 



^n^^hI^^ ij^^ ^® without them. To know them is to love them, and to 



IS'^ ^ijflr \(y\Q them is a liberal education. 



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

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

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

 however, in a deep and somewhat stiff soil, and in a par- 

 tially shaded position. They are well adapted for plant- 

 ing by the sides of streams, or lakes, or ponds, and in 

 ^g^H^^^J 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. 



A "With the exception of the Polyanthus section, they are 

 all perfectly hardy. 



f™»y Narcissi are also very suitable for growing in pots, re-
