CULTURE OF THE DAFFODIL IN POTS AND BOWLS, Etc., 
FOR INDOOR DECORATION. 
Of the stronger nrowing sorts use three to six bulbs, according to size of bdb, for a 4 to 6-inch pot : 
Ul tne sr t h , t Minimus, Nanus, Minor, Cyclamineus, Triandrus. Juncifobus, and 
CoIbnUri: Te ullvrt’eighLn t lbs’ for a*4i to 6-inch pot These small-flowered dvvarf growing 
snecies are ’most charming in pots or little shallow pans. The following may easily be had in bloom in 
Vlmarv -N Minimus, Minor, Nanus, and Cyclamineus, and these may « mingled with Chionodoxas, as 
both bloom at the same period and produce a charming contrast. The White Hoop Petticoat Narcissus 
should be potted in almost pure sand hept well moist, and may be had in bloom shortly after Christmas. 
(See Rock Garden Collections oj Mimalure Daffodils, page 7.) 
All Daffodils may be grown in pots, but in the following pages we have indicated thus f those kinds 
which are best for this purpose. 
If Daffodils are wanted in quantity for cutting early in the season, plant thickly m boxes five to six 
inches deep and only just cover the bulbs with soil. The pots or W should then be placed out of doois 
inches deep, a V , , fashes or a gravel path, and be covered with six inches of ashes or cocoa- 
”ut^d™ Xn l^he bull^^ the "pots o? bo’xes with roots and made an inch or two of top 
nrowth portions should be removed indoors 111 succession, selecting first those which floaer natura y early. 
I in <1 rnld frame or cool greenhouse, and when the flower buds are well advanced shift to a 
IC f? c g house IrtLy should"^ abui’idance of water and plenty of air. The plants should be 
kept as TeL to the glass as possible, and not allowed to get drawn from an insufficient supply ol light 01 
air On no account should boUom heat be given. 
A rharminn effect is obtained by growing Daffodils in fancy bowls, simply using cocoa fibre or our 
Snechl Mixmre of Cocoa Fibre and cLrcoal ( i/6 per bushel, xj- per peck). Fdl the bowls °n«-‘h'vd up 
Special Mixmre ^ sufficient water to make the

whMe firm, and afte „ 00m window (by preference a room without a fire). They 
Ihoul’d b^ 'gro"wn rol.^a^d not bimurhl imo warmth until tL"^ flower buds are colouring. of
