Hybrids 



N. Poeticus OrnatusxN. Polyanthus Varieties 



By crossing these two classes, Narcissus Poeticus 

 Ornatus being the seed parent, our growers have suc- 

 ceeded in obtaining a perfectly Iiardy strain of bunch- 

 flowered Narcissus. The individual flowers have all 

 more or less the Poeticus shape and size. Besides 

 being hardy, this class has the merit that they have not 

 inherited the strong, disagreeable scent of the Tazetta 

 Narcissus. They are equally valuable for bedding and 

 forcing. A bed of these Narcissi is simply covered 

 by a dense mass of flowers. They force extremely 

 easy. This is an entirely new strain and has no sim- 

 ilarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore. 

 The following we consider the best of this lovely type. 



Alsace. Petals pure white, with yellow eye ; when 

 bursting into flower the eye is slightly edged reddish. Broad large 

 flowers of true Poet form ; one of the earliest Has three flowers 

 on a stem. 5 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 



Elvira. Pure white, with yellow eye; large flower of a remarkably 

 good substance. Long-stemmed and a good keeper ; four flowers 

 on a stem. Highly recommended. 5 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., 

 $1.75 per 100, $16 per 1,000. 



Ideal. Perianth white, with dark orange eye; large truss bearing 

 si.x to seven flowers; beautiful striking color. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. 

 per doz., $4 per 100, ^35 per 1,000. 



Narcissus Jonquilla, or Jonquils 



All of the Jonquils are prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant 

 blossoms and the ease with which they may be grown. Half a dozen 

 bulbs may be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as 

 recommended for Hyacinths (see page 3) a fine display can be had 

 from January to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal planting 

 should be made outdoors. A clump of fifty or more bulbs put here 

 and there among shrubbery or interspersed in the hardy border or 

 naturalized in the grass, gives an indescribably rich effect in the 

 early spring, while a vase of the cut blooms will fill a room with the 

 rich, spicy perfume. V>ai.

Narcissi and Daffodils 



FOR NATURALIZING. BEDDING. ETC. 



For producing brilliant masses of striking color in the mixed 

 border, among shrubs, under trees, or for grouping in grass, the 

 following varieties of Narcissi are unequaled, while they specially 

 claim the attention of amateurs for their hardiness and accom- 

 modating qualities. Clumps should be grown in odd corners to 

 furnish flowers for decorative purposes. When cut just as they 

 begin to expand, the flowers develop their full beauty in water as 

 perfectly, and retain their brightness for as long a period as when 

 allowed to remiinon their own plants. Pansies, myosotis, scillas, 

 and other low-growing plants and bulbs make lovely companions 

 for these popular Narcissi.
