Division IX.— POETICUS.— True Poet’s Narcissi. 
These “Poet’s Daffodils" or Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or 
petals, and a small flattened eye or crown, yellow or lemon edged more or less deeply 
with scarlet or crimson, and sometimes almost all scarlet. All are sweetly scented. 
The earlier flowering varieties afford a very beautiful decoration indoors when 
grown in pots (5 bulbs in a pot) or forced. As border plants and naturalised in grass 
by themselves the Poet’s Narcissi produce a lovely effect. 
Early planting and liberal culture is specially recommended for these Poet’s DalTodils. To obtain 
tall stems and fine large flowers they should be grown in a rich deep soil not too dry. The varieties 
having very highly coloured crowns should be cut young to preserve the fine colouring.
