THE POET'S NARCISSUS 
This is the olU fasliioned favorite type, witii wliite 
flowers, the cups margined with red and with rich, spicy 
odor. For indoor culture the Ornatus is best. All do 
well in the open border, are perfectly hardy, and, once 
planted, take care of themselves.

two to three flowers on each stalk. 20 cts. perdoz.,

DOUBLE DAFFODILS 
No collection of Narcissus is complete with- 
out the double-flowering sorts. While not as 
attractive as many of the single varieties, they 
possess a charm peculiarly their own. All are 
perfectly hardy, and are much in demand for 
cutting.

of fine form.

JONQUILS 
{Narcissus Jonquilla and Odorus) 
All of the .1 ontiuils are prized for their grace- 
ful, golden, fragrant blossoms and tlieease with 
which they may be grown. Half a dozen bulbs 
can be put in a 5 inch pot, and, with the same 
treatment as recommended for hyacinths (see 
page 3), a fine display can be had from -lanuary 
to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal 
plantings should be made outdoors. A clump 
of fifty or more bulbs put here and there among shrub- 
bery or interspersed in the hardy border or naturalized 
in the grass gives an indescribably rich eileet in the 
early spring, while a vase of the cut blooms will fill a 
room with the rich, spicy odor.

CHINESE SACRED LILY

bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to keep 
them from toppling over. They can also be grown in 
pots in soil, sand or moss. The white and yellow flow- 
ers are borne in clusters and are highly scented. Large 
bulbs, 10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts., 90 cts. per doz. Orig-
