quite distinct from what is advertised as such in bulb catalogues. 

 I can grow it admirably, but it refuses to bloom. I have per* 

 suaded it to do so only once or twice, but I hope to succeed with 

 it yet. Narcissus cyclamincus is another that seems to re- 

 quire different treatment from the triandrus section, but as Mr. 

 Barr says it grows in a swamp, it will doubtless be managed soon. 



"With regard to deep or shallow planting, there seems to be a 

 great diversity of opinion among the best growers. I have hardly 

 made up my mind about it, but I am inclined to think that where 

 there is little sun and much rain, as is the case here, shallow 

 planting is the best. As to the annual moving of the bulbs, 

 there seems to be the same difference of opinion ; my own idea 

 is that they are better left in the ground for two years at least, 

 helping them, during the growth of the leaves, with a little 

 artificial manure sprinkled among the rows.
