Narcissus 



NARCISSUS ARE READY FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 



Narcissus are among the most popular and largely grown of spring-flowering bulbs, and deservedly, too. Their 

 exquisite grace, beauty and charm of habit have been immortalized in the poetry of all tijneG. Mo garden should 

 be without them. 



They are all of the easiest cultivation, 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 hyacinths, three or four bulbs in a S-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.
