POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
Bunch-flowering 
This class of Narcissus is suitable for indoor 
planting only, except south of the Carolinas. 
We list the best three varieties of this type, which 
are grown especially for us, and the bulbs we 
have been supplying have been giving the best 
results. These bulbs can be grown successfully 
in soil as well as in pebbles and water, and can 
be had in bloom from Thanksgiving to Easter. 
Store your bulbs in a cool, dry place when re¬ 
ceived, and for a succession of bloom, plant at 
intervals of about two weeks from October 1 to 
March 1. 
The flowers are produced in clusters and are 
delightfully fragrant. 
Michell’s Big Bloom Paper-White 
This is a pure white-flowering sort, used ex¬ 
tensively for forcing, as it can be brought into 
bloom in 8 weeks’ time. Easily grown in pebbles 
and water. Doz. 100 1000

CHINESE SACRED LILIES 
Place from 3 to 6 bulbs in a bowl on top of 
pebbles to the depth of 2 inches, adding a piece 
of charcoal to the water to keep it sweet. Place 
more pebbles around the bulbs and fill the bowl 
with water to the top of pebbles. After being 
planted they should be stored for three weeks in 
a cool, dark corner and then brought to a light 
but cool place. They may also be grown in pots 
with soil or sand, bulb fibre and moss.
