HtNRYADREER 4M1ILADELPHIA -PA WBULBS- FOR EALb PLANTING- 
Large Trumpet Narcissus “ Empress." 
T HERE are no hardy bulbous plants which have 
more points of merit than the Narcissus or 
Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and do¬ 
ing well in almost any and every position, sun or 
shade, moist or dry. All- conditions seem to suit it, 
and every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the 
grass, under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used 
to better advantage than by filling with Narcissus. 
They are equally desirable for pot culture for winter 
flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 
5 -inch pot, and, with the same treatment as given to 
Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring months 
can be made bright with their exquisite gold and 
silver blossoms. But it is outdoors that Narcissus 
do best, and once planted need no further attention, 
the clumps multiplying and giving larger and finer 
results each year, and from an original planting of 
a few hundred bulbs in two or three years may be 
cut thousands of flowers without missing them. 
NO TE .— We offer Narcissus under 7 distinct 
heads or types: first , the large trumpet va?icties } 
like Emperor and Empress; second , the medium 
trumpet sorts , of which Sir Wat kin and Mrs. Lang¬ 
try are examples ; third , the small trumpet kinds or 
the Poeticus group ; fourth , the Hoop Petticoat sorts , 
which really belong in the large ti umpet class; 
fifth , the Jonquils ; sixth , the Polyanthus or many- 
flowered ; seventh , the double-flowering sorts. 
In describing Narcissus it is usual to give the 
color of the trumpet or crown and the color of the 
terianth or petals surrounding the trumpet .
