NARCISSI —DAFFODILS 
N ARCISSI comprise a large and varied family of bulbous plants. Confusion often arises about the proper names when referring to 
the different types. Narcissi is the proper family name for Daffodils, Jonquils, Bi-Colors, Paetaz and similar designations in com¬ 
mon use. The large yellow trumpet varieties are generally regarded as Daffodils, the small cupped kinds are commonly termed Jonquils, 
the white and clustered flowers are just referred 
where on this page will be found a proper classification of Nar- 
to as Narcissi without further distinction Else- 
CULTURE OF NARCISSI 
Narcissi prefer a partially sheltered location, 
where best results will be obtained. They will, how¬ 
ever, thrive in most any reasonable situation, continu¬ 
ing to increase from year to year. 
Plant the larger bulbs so that the tops are about 
six inches under the surface, smaller bulbs slightly 
less. BUT it is essential for best results TO PLANT 
THEM EARLY. Narcissi need a longer period for the 
development of roots in the fall than other kinds of 
bulbs. Late plantings are often disappointing. 
Cover rather heavily with straw or leaves before 
severe freezing weather sets in. The covering should 
be removed as early as snow and ice will permit. 
Indoor culture of Narcissi varies with the variety, some may 
be grown in receptacles containing water and pebbles, but all 
kinds may be grown in pots and treated in the same manner as 
Hyacinths. (See directions on page 13.) 
NOTE—The bulbs we offer are without exception TOP SIZE 
"MOTHER BULBS," the largest bulbs procurable, and will produce 
several flowers each.
