NARCISSUS POLYANTHUS, or nosegay daffodils. 
The Polyanthus Narcissi or Nosegay Daffodils 
produce large heads of sweet-scented flowers, and are 
specially adapted for Winter and Spring decoration in pots 
and jardinets, etc. The culture is the same as for Hyacinths. 
For flower beds and mixed borders they are great favourites, 
and produce a charming effect. Plant from September to 
November, and at the approach of winter give a light 
covering of long litter or other material to keep off severe 
frosts ; remove the covering in March. The earlier plant- 
ings give the best results. 
Where flowers are in demand from November to January, 
the Paper White “Early Snowflake” and Double 
Roman Narcissi are of great value for forcing with the 
Roman Hyacinths ( see Culture , page 2).
