Culture of Narcissi-Daffodils 
The various types of narcissi-daffodils are not 
difficult to grow but they do greatly repay a little 
care and attention. In the first place one should 
obtain good healthy bulbs. These should be well 
nourished first size bulbs of either the round size, 
which make one bloom the first year, or double 
nose bulbs, which make two or more blooms. 
Narcissi are deep rooting and the ground should 
be deeply prepared, 18 inches is not too deep. 
It is well to work some plant food into the ground 
below the bulbs. Bone meal is always safe to use. 
We prefer Vigoro as it contains all the elements 
that the soil may need. Do not use fresh stable 
manure near the bulbs. Planting should be done 
early. September is the best month but October is 
satisfactory. Cover the tops of the bulbs about 
four inches and in cold climates mulch well after 
the ground has frozen. Reset the bulbs every sec¬ 
ond or third year. The digging should be done 
about the time the tops die down, the bulbs stored 
in a cool dry airy place and reset in the early fall 
Never dig any bulbs before or during blooming 
time as it will injure their growth very severely. 
The prices are quoted for large double-nosed bulbs. We can supply large round 
bulbs for 20% less.
