Double Narcissus—The Pearl 
The Pearl. Each year we find that this lovely 
creamy white narcissus becomes more popular.

double—and are borne in profusion. The stems 
are strong but not too stiff. Blooms well in many 
warm climates where Albus Plenus Odoratus 
comes blind. 12 for 80c, 100 for $5.00.

terspersed with very light lemon. Tall stems. Very

alternating petals of soft primrose and clear 
orange on tall stems. Each 20c, 12 for $2.00. 
HOW TO GROW NARCISSI 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us 
for giving them the proper care by producing more 
and better flowers. Start with good bulbs; this 
almost guarantees flowers for the first year. See 
that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phos¬ 
phates and potash. Early planting is advisable. 
September is the best month for most parts of 
the country. Cover the tops of the bulbs about 4 
inches, and in cold climates mulch well after the 
ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the 
bulbs too many years without resetting them. 
They become crowded and fail to bloom. About 
every third year, dig the bulbs when the tops have 
ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in 
the fall. Never move the bulbs before or during 
blooming time as it will injure their growth very 
severely. 
Poetaz Narcissus Elvira

foliage, making it a very effective variety for 
garden decoration. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00.

stiff as many of the Poetaz varieties. The perianth 
is Poeticus white with orange eye, edged red. Good 
for semi-shade. Early. Each $1.00.

containing all the different colors. 12 for 70c, 100 
for $5.00. 
Tazetta or Polyanthus

Division 8. Tender bunch flowering narcissi 
used so extensively for forcing in water and fibre. 
We do not grow these but obtain them from one of 
the best sources in the country. 
Chinese Sacred Lily. Large clusters of white 
flowers with yellow cups. Each bulb produces sev¬ 
eral spikes of the fragrant flowers. Very easily 
grown in bowls of pebbles, or fibre, and water. 
Each 10c, 12 for $1.00. 
Paper White Narcissus. The most popular 
bulb for forcing in water. Large clusters of pure

Sacred Lilies more satisfactory. 12 for 75c, 100

Soleil d’ Or. “The Yellow Paperwhite.” Golden 
yellow flowers with orange cup in large clusters. 
Suitable for forcing or for planting out. Each

two or more flower spikes the first season.
