The Narcissus family embraces a wide range of forms, and their delicate shades of yel¬ 
low, orange merging to orange-scarlet, combined in beds and borders make the best floral 
effect possible. Their uses are numerous and in every home and garden there is some place 
where they should be used. We know of nothing more charming than a large bed planted with 
various forms. Daffodils, single and double, cluster Narcissus in various colors, and Jonquils 
with their sweet fragrance; or a border composed of some of the more striking varieties. Every¬ 
one delights in these lovely flowers of the spring, their freshness, gay spirit, and bright color¬ 
ing. 
Another feature of these dainty flowers is their lasting quality. They naturalize wonder¬ 
fully well and each succeeding spring they bring lasting joy with them. 
We wish to call attention to our remarkable collection of fine varieties of Narcissus, in¬ 
cluding many novelties. They should be freely planted in beds and borders and the charm 
which they add to the rock garden is beyond compare. Especially do the short cup or crown 
varieties lend themselves to this treatment and bloom freely each succeeding spring. 
Narcissus and Daffodil bulbs should be planted about four to six inches deep depending on whether the soil is heavy 
or light. The soil should be moist and workable when planting. After planting water thoroughly and mulch with Tobacco 
stems or German Peat. Then do not water until the leaves appear above the ground. The polyanthus and crown varieties 
are very suitable for naturalizing and they may be planted in permanent locations to bloom more freely each succeeding 
year. All Narcissus are grateful for a little shade, and the double types require more moisture than the others. 
By planting Paul J. Howard’s huge, double-nosed mother bulbs you will have in your 
garden the finest of Daffodils; they produce—three, four and five flowers to each bulb—more 
and better flowers at less cost.
