NARCISSUS 



Narcissus are ready for delivery in 

 September 



Narcissus are among the most popu- 

 lar and largely grown of spring-flower- 

 ing-bulbs, and deservedly, too. Their 

 exquisite grace, beauty and charm of 

 habit have been immortalized in the 

 poetry of all times. No garden should 

 be without them. 



They are all of the easiest cultiva- 

 tion, thriving 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, lakes or ponds, and in 

 mixed flower or shrubbery borders. 

 They are also suitable for naturalizing 

 in the grass, by the side of woodland 

 walks, or in open spaces between trees 

 and shrubs. 



For growing in pots they require 

 about the same treatment as hya- 

 cinths, three or four bulbs in a 5-inch 

 pot. Some of the varieties are grown 

 in large numbers by florists for winter 

 cut -flowers. With the exception of 

 the Polyanthus section, they are all 

 perfectly hardy.
