 Narcissus Poetaz (type) 



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 tlozen bulbs may be pat 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 ttie hardy border or naturalized in the grass, gives an 

 indescribably rich effect in the early spring, while a vase of cut blooms will fill a room with the rich, spicy perfume.

Narcissi and Daffodils ^""BE^TiJS^^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 iniequaled, while they sjieciaily claim the attention of amateurs for their hardiness and 

 accommodating (jualities. Clinnps siiould l)e grown in odd corners to furnish flowers for decorative purposes. When cut just as 

 they begin to exp.md, the flowers develop their full beauty in water as perfectly, and retain their brightness for as long a period 

 as when allowed to remain on their own plants. Pansies, myosotis, scillas, and other low-growing plants and bulbs make lovely 

 companions for these popular Narcissi. (For other bulbs for naturalizing, see page i.)
