F. r cutting the flowers are greatly prized. Of these Poet’s Narcissi Mr. 
William Robinson writes, referring to Gravetye : " Five years ago 1 cleared a 
little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and we grouped 
the Poet’s Narcissus near it, and in a little orchard that lay near, and through 
a grove of oaks. This year the whole landscape was a picture, such as one 
might see in an Alpine valley ! ” per i,ooo, 42 /- ; per ioo, 5 / 6 .
