Double Narcissus Von Zion. 
Narcissus (Daffodils). 
These hold the affections of the flower- 
lovingf public like few other flowers ; their 
popularity increases yearly and the quan- 
tity now forced is enormous. Their grace- 
ful habit, delicate fragrance and variety of 
form and color are delightful, and they are 
always in demand for bouquets, vases, 
personal wear and floral work generally. 
Easily cultivated ; quick and sure bloomers. 
The low cost of the bulbs and the increasing 
demand should warrant liberal planting.
