New Narcissus 

 Poetaz Hybrids 



N. poelicus ornalus X poly^anthus varieties 



By crossing tliese two classes, Narcissus poeticus ornatus 

 being the seed parent, our growers have succeeded in obtaining 

 a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-flowered Narcissi. The indi- 

 vidual 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 simplj' covered by a dense mass of flowers. 

 They force extremely easy. This is an entirely new strain, and 

 has no similarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore. 

 The following we consider the best of this lovely type :
