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 blooming in the garden, and are largely 
forced by florists for winter flowers. They are bright and hardy (except the Polyanthus 
sorts), and nearly all are most deliciously fragrant; no flower better deserves its popular¬ 
ity. 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 flowers are very 
much admired. For their cultivation 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 these charming plants. 
For house culture, plant several bulbs togther in a pot and keep in a cool room, 
give plenty of light and water, and they will bloom from February to April. The 
Polyanthus varieties are earliest, and best adapted to house culture, but all will do well 
in pots If not kept too warm and forced too rapidly.
