HARDY DAFFODILS FOR NATURALIZATION IN GRASS, ETC. 
A SELECTION OF 
CHEAP DAFFODILS for naturalization IN GRASS, <fec. 
On page 3 will be found an extract from Mr. William Robinson's Paper read at the Conference on 
Hardy Flowers, Chiswick, July 8 and 9, 1891. The grand effect produced, combined with the pleasure he 
enjoyed at Gravetye Manor from Narcissi planted in meadow, orchard, and OAIC GROVE, was such as he 
might have experienced in an Alpine valley, but with this difference, he could gaze on the scene and enjoy 
the pleasure daily, and all this at a comparatively small outlay. Mr. Robinson has had a successful experience 
of ten years with his naturalized Daffodils
