■K THE TRUE, TAZETTA, AND POLYANTHUS DAFFODIL OR NARCISSUS. 
Group III. — Parrt-coronatas, the true Narclesua and Tazetta forms. 
Character. — Crown less than half as long as the divisions of the perianth. 
The Poet’s Narcissus Parkinson called the Purple and Saffron-ringed Daffodils. The varieties which flower 
in March and April are Angustifolius, Ornatus, Tripedalis, Poetarum and Grandiflorus. Those which flower 
in May are Recurvus and the double white variety. For vases and table bouquets the Poet's Daffodil, both early 
and late flowering, are highly prized ; also the white flowers of Biflorus and the slender graceful blossoms of 
Gracilis ; Intermedius is a beautiful dwarf variety ; and Tenuior is the Silver Jonquil. The New Daffodils, 
Burbidgei, appear to be a third cross, and probably are hybrids of Barri and Poeticus, as the varieties run very 
.close upon the one and the other. Burbidgei varieties may not inaptly be called early-flowering forms of Poeticus. 
The Tazetta, or Bunch-flowered, offered in this Group, are remarkably beautiful, and in planting them the 
top of the bulb should be six inches under the surface of the soil.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS FOR BEDS, RIBBONS, Etc. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus, or bunch-flowered Daftbdil, has always been prized as a cut flower. When planted 
-in beds or masses they contrast well and are equally effective with the Tulip and the Hyacinth. The varieties 
.offered are distinct, and may either be grouped, or grown in separate colours. In planting, the top of the bulb 
should be six inches under the surface of the soil.

POLYANTHUS OR BUNCH-FLOWERED NARCISSUS FOR POT CULTURE. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus, 'with its rich golden-yellow and snow-white flowers, is specially adapted for winter 
and spring decoration in pots, glasses, and jardinets. The culture is the same as that of the Hyacinth. When 
Xhree bulbs are grown together in a 6 or j-inch pot, the effect is greatly enhanced. 
Where flowers are in demand in November, December, and early in January, the Paper White and Double 
Roman Narcissi are invaluable. Pot them early in the autumn, and when well rooted commence forcing as 
j'equired. Thus treated, they and the Roman Hyacinth {see page 6 ), can be had in bloom from October. 
The First Prize for Polyanthus Narcissus was awarded to us by the Royal Botanical Society at their 
March Show of 1877. qur own selections.
