T^arcissi and Daffodils 



Narcissi and DalToflils are among the earliest-flowering hiilbs, and are alike use- 

 ful for cut-llowers and tiecorative purposes. The most useful for early forcing is the 

 well-known Paper White Naricissus varieties, Grandirtora and Multiflora. They are 

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

 as fifteen to a stem. 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.— Plant bulbs in shallow pans or boxes, about 2 inches 

 apart, and >tore in cellar or ^ihed till thoroughly rooted. Do not allow frost to reach 

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

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

 Narcissi in bloom till nearly Easter. For general cultivation of Narcissi under glass, 

 see Hyacinths, page 



Paper White Narcissi can also be grown in water with pebbles in shallow dishes 

 and bowls, the same as'tlys Sacred Chinese Narcissus.
