^ _ Narcissi and Daffodils 



^ Narcissi and Daffodils are among tlie earliest-flowering bulbs, and are alike 



useful for cut-flowers and decorative purposes. The most useful for early forcing is 

 the well-known Paper White Narcissus varieties Grandiflora and Multiflora. They 

 ^^^^^ are pure white, chaste and beautiful, and are borne on long stems, sometimes as 

 'i many as fifteen to a stem. 



.jjf -^I^H CULTUEAL DIRECTIONS.— Plant bulbs in shallow pans or boxes, about 2 inches 



apart, and store in cellar or shed till thoroughly rooted iJo not allow frost to reach 

 them. If wanted for Christmas, bring into the light about the second week in Novem- 

 ber, and after that successively (about a month to six weeks), and you will have 

 Narcissus in bloom till nearly Easter. Fo" general cultivation of Narcissus under 

 >^ glass, see Hyacinths, page 3. 



j|H ^jk ^^^^K^^^^H Paper White NarciEsus can also be grown in water with pebbles in shallow 



^ ^^^^B jjj^^^^l^^^^l dishes and bowls, the same as the Sarred Chinese Narcissus
