ARGISSUS OR 
DAFFODILS 
The Narcissus has more points of real 
merit than most other hardy plants, and 
the possibilities of the family have only 
recently been developed. They are 
equally well adapted for the conserva- 
tory, window garden, flower garden or border, and its culture is same as 
the Hyacinth. 
Three or four bulbs may be grown in a single pot, and may be 
planted any time from October to January. For bedding or borders in the 
open ground they should be planted in October or November, and should 
be set from four to five inches deep, the larger varieties from five to six 
inches apart and the small varieties three to four inches. In the garden they 
may be planted in any out-of-the-way place, and will continue to thrive and 
bloom year after year without care or attention and will be among the first 
to respond to the blandishments of spring. 
There are several groups or classes of the Narcissus as will be seen 
by referring to the illustration on other side, and all are attractive and desirable.
