Special Fancy Vases and Bowls for growing Daffodils, etc., in. 
We have had special little fancy vases made for us by Messrs. Doulton for growing Daffodils and other 
spring bulbs in our Fertilised Fibre and Charcoal Mixture. The vases are of elegant shape, of neutral art 
green and drab shades, and without drainage holes, thus saving the use of saucers. They will be found most 
useful for growing not only Daffodils in, but also Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocuses, early Scillas, Snowdrops, 
Chionodoxas, and Lily of the Valley, also the charming winter-flowering Irises— reticulata, etc., either 
for table decoration or the greenhouse. During summer these bowls are very useful for holding cut flowers, 
etc. All Daffodils which may be grown in pots may also be grown in these fancy bowls, and in the 
foregoing pages we have indicated thus f those kinds most suitable for the purpose.
