NARCISSUS ARE READY FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 



Narcissus are amoiif; tlio most i)<)i)ular and largely grown of s|»iing-Ilo\vering hullis. and deservedly, 

 too. Their exquisite grace, beauty and charm of habit have been immortalized in the i)oetry of all 

 times. No garden should be without them. 



Thev 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 i)lanted. Tiiey do best, however, in a deei) and somewhat 

 stiff soil and in a partially shaded position. They are well adapted for planting by the sides ot 

 streams lakes or T>onds. 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-lnch 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.
