Select Bulbs for Fall Planting 
DAFFODILS, continued 
Depth to Plant. The 
average depth to plant is 
from 2 to 3 inches. Better 
less than more. A safe 
rule is to cover one and a 
half times their height. 
Shade. All Daffodils 
prefer light shade. In 
California we should se- 
lect a cool situation if 
the soil is light, and much 
finer and longer stems 
will be had when they are 
shaded from one-fourth 
to one-half the day. This 
does not mean that the 
bulbs will not thrive quite 
as well in sun as in shade, 
but as long stems are very 
desirable, the shady situa- 
tion is much better. Ex- 
cellent results can be had 
by planting Daffodils in 
groups among shrubs 
or hardy perennials. 
Watering. Daffodils 
like much water when 
growing. If the ground 
is kept all but wet until 
after blooming time, they 
will be all the better. 
Narcissus, Daffodils, 
Jonquils 
I am so often ques- 
tioned as to the difference 
between Daffodils, Nar- 
cissi and Jonquils, that I take this opportunity to explain. Narcissus is the botanical 
name of all of the plants of this group whether they have large flowers with trumpets 
like Emperor or Golden Spur, small flowers like the Poeticus, or two or more flowers on a 
stem as in the Jonquils, the Chinese Lilies and their European sisters. 
All are Narcissi alike. 
A Narcissus with a single flower on a stem, whether with large or small trumpet, 
is a Daffodil. Jonquils are Narcissi with two or three shallow cupped flowers of a pleasing 
yellow and quite fragrant. The name Jonquils comes from Juncus, or rushes, because 
the leaves resemble that plant. Polyanthus Narcissi are all of the sorts which, like the 
Chinese Sacred Lily, have the flowers in bunches.
