Massive Daffodils—Dainty Narcissus 
If you are a timid lover of Daffodils, may we suggest that you plant our specially priced assortments of proven 
sorts. These have been assembled as a sort of “Learn to Know Them” offer. We feel certain of your enthusiasm, 
once you have become intimately associated with these lovely blooms in your own garden. 
Cultural Hints 
Bulbs of the Narcissus family, which includes Daffodils and Jonquils, are happiest in a sandy loam, since this 
affords good drainage. In a clay soil, sand and peat should be incorporated. 
The depth to plant bulbs depends on their size. Big bulbs, such as King Alfred, can go down eight inches and 
smaller bulbs three and four inches. In light soils deeper planting is advisable, and in heavy, a shallower planting. 
The degree of light and shade should be taken into account. All of them thrive in sunshine, but the lighter, more 
delicate kinds, seem grateful for a bit of shade. Plant to north or east of a path if you wish to look into their 
faces, as they will always face the sun. 
Fertilize with bonemeal, placed in the hole at planting time. The spacing apart is unimportant so long as there 
is sufficient room for a bulb to increase to approximately twice its original size. Overcrowding results in foliage 
without flowers. Never lift bulbs until foliage has completely yellowed.
