NARCISSUS POETICUS. 
The Purple-ringed Poet’s Daffodil or Star Narcissus. 
PoetiCUS divides naturally into early and /a/z-flowering varieties. It is from the early section, 
especially PoetiCUS ornatUS, that Covent Garden is supplied with forced cut flowers from January 
to March. 
Referring to the great beauty of these Poet’s Daffodils when naturalised, Mr. William Robinson 
writes : ‘ Four years ago I cleared a little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and we 
grouped the Poet’s Narcissi near it, also in a little orchard that lay near, and through a grove of oaks. 
This year the whole landscape was a picture such as one might see in an Alpine valley.’

Very beautiful for indoors, 5 bulbs in a 4- or 5-inch pot. Charming in beds and borders, while 
naturalised in grass, they present in spring a most lovely sight.
