TYPES OF NARCISSUS 



NARCISSUS 



NARCISSUS ARE READY FOR DELIVERY 

 IN SEPTEMBER 



The very beautiful species and varieties of 

 Narcissus are among the most popular and 

 largely grown of spring-flowering bulbs, and 

 that deservedly, too. Their exquisite grace, 

 beauty and charm of habit have been immortal- 

 ized in the poetry of all times. No garden 

 should be without them. 



They are all of the easiest cultivation, thriv- 

 ing in almost 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 partially 

 shaded position. They are well adapted for 

 planting by the sides of streams, or lakes, or 

 ponds, and in mixed flower or shrubbery bor- 

 ders. They are also suitable for naturalizing 

 in the grass, by the side of woodland walks or 

 in open spaces between trees and shrubs. With 

 the exception of the Polyanthus section, they 

 are all perfectly hardy. 



Narcissus are also very suitable for growing 

 in pots, requiring about the same treatment as 

 hyacinths, with 3 or 4 bulbs in a 5-inch pot. 

 Some of the varieties are grown in large num- 

 bers by florists for winter cut-flowers.
