NARCISSUS POETAZ— new hybrid polyanthus narcissi. 
New hybrids of Poeticus Ornatus x Best Forms of Polyanthus Narcissi. 
A fine new race of Daffodils, resulting from a cross be- 
tween Poeticus ornatus and the finest varieties of Polyanthus 
or Bunch-flowered Narcissi, the Poeticus being the seed- 
bearing parent. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, 
bearing heads of large well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant ; 
they are much finer and more showy than the old Poly- 
anthus Narcissi, and have the advantage of being much 
hardier. In pots or the flower border they are very decorative, 
while the flowers are highly prized for cutting. They can 
easily be brought into bloom early by gentle forcing.
