New Narcissus Poetaz Hybrids. 
(N. poeticus x N. polyanthus varieties). 
We cannot too strongly recommend this superb new race of plants 
to our customers both for the outdoor garden and for growing in pots. 
They are perfectly hardy, force most easily, and have been one of the 
prominent features of our magnificent groups at the R.H.S. exhibitions 
of forced bulbs. 
To the hybridist they offer unique opportunities as we find that 
they will seed to pollen of Horace and other Poeticus varieties.
