The Philogynes differ from each other very slightly, except in the case of Odorus; the flower of this is larger 
and more spreading, while Tnlobus is smaller, and the divisions of the perianth more closely arranged.

M / s true Narcissus. Parkinson called it the Purplc-ringcd Daffodil: it is now called 
N. Poeticus, of which there are several varieties. Angustifolius, or Stellatus, flowers in March ; Recurvus, Majalis, 
■etc. , flower ni May ; and the double form, with its snow-white blossoms, continues blooming till well nigh the 
middle of June. Many of our readers may remember the grand effect produced in the borders of old kitchen 
gardens y'here these were wont to be grown in long unbroken bands, a sight not readily to be forgotten; the 
snow-white flowers o » the double peering from amidst the graceful green foliage on the one hand, and the purple 
ring contrasting with the pure white of the single varieties on the other. Biflorus, the two-flowered species, is a 
tine plant ; Gracilis, as its name implies, is slender and graceful ; Intermedius is a beautiful dwarf variety: and 
lenuior, sometimes called the Silver Jonquil, is beautiful associated with Gracilis. 
Ihc Iazetta, or Bunch-flowered species, offered in this Group, are remarkably beautiful, being more dwarf, 
and generally with smaller heads of bloom than the varieties of Tazetta wc offer under the head of Polyanthus 
Narcissus. J

Group III.— continued. POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS. 
The Polyanthus, or 1 azetta Narcissus, in beds or masses in the flower garden, produces a grand effect, and 
forms a striking contrast to the Tulip and the Hyacinth. The varieties offered are perfectly distinct, so that they 
may be grouped together for effect, or in separate masses. Where large quantities of cut flowers are in 
demand plant these flowers freely, in or out of doors, and they will not fail to give the utmost satisfaction. In 
the open ground the crown of the bulb should be from six to seven inches under the surface.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS, FOR POT CULTURE. 
The rich golden-yellow and the snow-white large heads of bloom, indicate the Polyanthus Narcissus as 
indispensable where flowers arc cultivated for winter and spring decoration , as in pots, glasses, and jardinets ; 
and while the culture is as simple as for the Hyacinth, the results arc in all respects equally satisfactory, and t 
like the Hyacinth , when three bulbs are grown together in a 6 or y-inch pot, the effect is greatly enhanced. 
Where flowers are in demand in December and early in January, the Paper White and Double Roman 
Narcissus are invaluable. Pot them early in the autumn, and when well rooted commence forcing as required 
Thus treated, they and the Roman Hyacinth can be had in bloom from early in November .
