NARCISSUS, or DAFFODILS. 
Lakgk Thumpkt Narcissus Emperor. 
'T'HERE are no hardy bulbous plants which have 
more points of merit than the Narcissus. Per¬ 
fectly hardy, growing and doing 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 ex¬ 
quisite gold and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors 
that Narcissus do best, and once planted need no fur¬ 
ther 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.
