Poeticus or Poet’s Narcissus 
9456 Poeticus Ornatus 
Beautiful long-stemmed flowers with broad, pure white 
perianth petals and white eye margined bright crimson. 
One of the hardiest Narcissus and unsurpassed for massing 
or naturalizing. It should be planted in large quantities and 
if the plantings are divided so that some will be in a sunny 
location, others in semi-shade, and some in heavy shade, 
the flowering period will extend over several weeks. 
3 for 250; 12 for 700; 100 for $5.00; 1000 for $45.00. 
The Poeticus Narcissus is an old-fashioned type which con¬ 
tinues to gain in favor each year. The flowers have a rich 
spicy odor that is most pleasing. The perianth petals are 
snow-white and the small eye or crown is flattened, either 
yellow or lemon, and edged more or less deeply with scarlet- 
crimson and sometimes all scarlet. 
Poeticus Narcissus are splendid in the open border or nat¬ 
uralized; they do well in partial shade. They are highly 
esteemed for cutting.

class produce their well-formed, delightfully scented flowers in 
clusters of 3 to 8 , on long, strong stems. The number of blooms 
per stem varies with the variety. Poetaz Narcissus are splendid 
for garden planting in beds, borders, edgings, groups or naturaliz¬ 
ing; also easily forced indoors during the winter.

large substantial flowers are usually produced 4 or 5 to a stem.

tive flowers. 3 for 250; 12 for 850; 100 for $6.00.
