NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS. 
These charming, graceful flowers have 
had a great revival of popularity in the last 
few years, and are now prime favorites for 
early bloomingin thegarden, and are largely 
forced by florists for winter flowers. They 
are bright and hardy (except the Polyan¬ 
thus sorts), and nearly all are most deli¬ 
ciously fragrant; no flower better deserves 
its popularity. Of easy culture, they are 
equally satisfactory for potting and for the 
open bed and borders, where their rush-like 
glaucous foliage and white and yellow flow¬ 
ers are very much admired. For their culti¬ 
vation the soil should be well loosened, so 
that the roots have perfect freedom in their 
growth. The planting of bulbs should be 
deep, and about five to ten inches apart. 
After the foliage dies down in the summer, 
the bulbs should be lifted and replanted in 
September or October in a different place in 
the garden ; in this way they will thrive and 
increase from year to year. Everyone should 
have at least a few of thesecharmingplants. 
For house culture plant several bulbs to- 
Narcissus , Golden Spur.
