Bulbs of Sir Watkin Narcissus. Showing Farr’s “Mother Bulb 
in comparison with the ordinary first-size bulb 
DAFFODILS (NARCISSI) 
Daffodils will continue to increase every year, and, when naturalized on 
the lawn, in meadows, or in orchards, they will form great colonics. They 
are invaluable for planting among shrubs and in the hardy border, and 
especially among the peonies, their golden cups making a beautiful con¬ 
trast with the bright red peony shoots coming out of the ground. 
“Mother Bulbs” (often called “double-nose”) arc those that have reached 
maturity and are about to break into several smaller bulbs. The “Mother 
Bulbs” will send up several flower-stems, whereas the ordinary bulbs 
seldom produce more than one stem. So many of my customers call for 
“Mother Bulbs” that I have decided not to list the common “first-size” bulbs.
