NARCISSUS POLYANTHUS, or nosegay daffodils. 
The Polyanthus Narcissi or Nosegay Daffodils 
produce large heads of sweet-scented llowers, and are 
specially adajited for Winter and Spring decoration in pots 
and jardinets, etc. The culture is the same as for Hyacinths. 
For flower beds and mixed bordeis they are great favourites, 
and produce a charming cffecl. Plant from September to 
November, and at the approach of winter give a light 
covering of long litter or other material to keep olT severe 
frosts ; remove the covering in March. The earlier plant- 
ings give the best results. 
Where flowers are in demand from November to January, 
the Paper White “Early Snowflake” and Double 
Roman Narcissi are of great value for forcing with the 
Roman lly.acinths; they are all suitable for growing in 
Howls in Fibre Mi.xtnre (see tu/tnre, page 3).

NARCISSUS POETAZ— NEW hybrid polyanthus narcissi. 
(Hybrids of Polyanthus Narcissi x Narcissus poeticus ornatus.) 
A very ileconilive new class of Nosegay Daffodils or Polyanthus Narcissi, growing taller than 
the old varieties, with a less stiff liabit, and a looser head of flower.'^, which are larger aiul more elegantly 
formed. They also have the merit of being much liardier. Besides lieing good border plants they are 
valuable for culture in pots and jardinets, and will bear gentle forcing. The flowers of these new 
Narcissi are all delightfully fragrant, and will be found of great value to cut for vases or bout^uets.
