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 boiders they are great favourites, 
and produce a charming effect, i’lant in October 
or 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. 
Where flowers are in demand from November 
to January, the Paper White “Early Snow- 
flake” and Double Roman Narcissi are of great 
value for forcing with the Roman Hyacinths (see 
Culture, page 1).
