MUSCARI (Grape, Starch, Mush, and Feathered Hyacinths). 
These lovely Spring Flowers require no special culture or soil. On rockwork they are 
beautiful, while as edgings and masses in the flower burder they are most charming, and continue a 
long time in bloom. We can strongly recommend them all for naturalization (See Illustration of

NARCISSI, BUNCH-FLOWERED, or POLYANTHUS NARCISSI. 
ALL VERY SWEET-SCENTED. 
The Polyanthus Narcissi produce large heads of sweet-scented flowers, and are specially adapted 
for Winter and Spring decoration in pots and jardiDets. The effect is greatly enhanced when three bulbs are 
grown together in a 6 or 7-inch por. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. For flower beds 
and mixed borders, the Polyanthus Narcissi are great favourites, and produce a beautiful effect. Plant 
in October or November. (In very cold districts we recommend a light covering, during severe weather, of 
fern-bracketi or straw-litter, etc. ) 
Where flowers are in demand in November, December, and early in January, the Paper White “ Early 
Snowflake" and Double Roman Narcissi are of great value for forcing with the Roman Hyacinths (see 
Culture , page 6).
