through this runs a streamlet, and we grouped the Poet’s Narcissi near it, and 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.” per iooo, 35/- ; per too, 3/9

may be selected out.

Miniature Daffodils for the “ Rock Garden.” 
The following are charming little subjects for rockwork, where their dainty flowers are seen to 
perfection. They should be left undisturbed for years, and, if happy, will soon establish themselves 
and afford a lovely picture in early spring. All the Corbularias (except Corbularia monophylla) and 
Cyclamineus like moisture, and should therefore be planted at the foot of the rockery. Corbularia 
monophylla flourishes in a warm dry sheltered situation, planted in almost pure sand ; when coming 
into bloom give water freely. Triandrus a/bus ( Angel's Tears ) and Juncifolius delight in partial shade 
and a light gritty soil, and should be given a well-drained position. In the case of these Miniature 
Daffodils, the ground may be carpeted with close-growing surface-rooting plants, such as Arenaria 
caspitosa, Thymus serpyl/um vat s., T. lanugittosus, Hcniiaria glabra , Mossy Saxifragas, etc. ; these plants 
provide a natural protection for these little bulbs, besides keeping their dainty blooms from being splashed 
anil soiled in rainy weather. We prefer, however, seeing these little gems peeping out of grass, and can 
supply seed of suitable fine dwarf grasses for sowing in September after planting the bulbs; this sowinv 
will give a fine green carpet by the following spring when the Narcissi bloom. 
Bull descriptions of the following Miniature Daffodils will be found in body of Catalogue.
