Polyanthus Narcissus 
(Bunch-flowering or Tazetta). 
A beahxiful free-flowering class of easy cultivation, deliciously scented, and admirably suited for growing m pots or m water. 
They produce handsome trusses of elegantly-formed flowers varying in colour from deep orange and primrose to the purest w r hite. 
With the exception of the Double Roman and Paper White varieties, they will succeed well planted out of doors, but thrive best 
where partially shaded from strong sunshine. Generally speaking, they will thrive under the same treatment as that recommended for 
Hyacinths. For pot culture a light and rich soil is the best, and they should bo potted as early as convenient in the season, if intended 
for blooming before Christmas. Pot the bulbs singly, according to size, into pots of four or five inches diameter, or three in a pot of seven 
inches diameter; pot firmly, and bury the bulbs well up to the crown. The pots should now be plunged six or eight inches deep in some 
light plunging material out of doors, and, in a few weeks, when the pots are filled with roots and top growth has commenced, they 
inay be removed from the plunging material and placed in a cool pit or frame. Any required for early blooming may, in a few 
days, be removed to a gentle heat and gradually forced into bloom. The very early varieties, Paper White and Double Roman, are, 
however, the best for this purpose, and may easily be had in bloom in November, and with these and a few successive pottings of 
the other sorts a beautiful succession of bloom may be had up to March or April. The Polyanthus Narcissus submits readily to 
being grown in water, and if started in darkness and treated precisely in the way recommended for Hyacinths, will grow capitally 
and give the most pleasing results.
