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 

 times. No 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 nat- 

 uralizing 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 

 5-inch pot. iSome 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.
