PolyaqtfiUs Narcissus. 
They are considered the best of all Narcissus for pot 
culture, and by many esteemed the most beautiful. By 
starting the dry bulbs at intervals from September until 
January, a succession of flowers can be secured from Christ¬ 
mas until the first of May. No trouble to grow. Treat as 
you would Hyacinths. The flowers of this class are borne in 
large clusters, and are exceedingly fragrant, like orange 
blossoms.

a fault, A medium early bloomer that lasts a full month 
in fluwer. Large clusters of exceedingly pretty flowers 
of a clear lemon with deep orange cup. Very fragrant.

the petals being a little lighter in shade than the cups.

bloomer, and early. 
Paper White Crandiflora An improvement on the com¬ 
mon Paper White, the flower being about twice the size,

licious fragrance. It is a very early and profuse bloomer 
and can be had in full beauty at Christmas and New 
Year’s. One of the very best winter-blooming bull)s.

and Turkey that it is known as the Sacred Narcissus of 
Constantinople. In Jerusalem it is the leading favorite

is superb, and it blooms very early and freely either in 
pots or the open ground. A grand winter bloomer.

cissus. We have secured a quantity of bulbs of each, which are 
of extra size and strength, and will give magnificent residts.
