NARCISSI or DAFFODILS 
Narcissi are the most satisfactory spring flowering 
bulbs in California Gardens. Since they increase rapidly 
they are a good “garden investment”. They will grow in 
either full sun or light shade, although in warm sections 
of California the best results are obtained with late 
blooming varieties if they receive some shade during the 
hotter part of the day. 
Plant bulbs from October to December. Set them 4 to 
6 inches apart and 4 to 5 inches deep, planting the larg¬ 
est bulbs deepest. When the flowering season is over, 
allow the foliage to ripen. If leaves are removed before 
ripened, there will be few blooms the following season. 
Our Narcissi bulbs are of the largest size and are all 
“Double-nose”; that is, each bulb will produce two or 
more flower stalks.

longer than the outer petals or perianth segments. The
