NARCISSUS. 
“ THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER OF THE POETS.” 
These lovely flowers have come to the front rank of popularity and are well worthy all the praise bestowed upoi> 
them. In England they are the most popular of all hardy plants, with the exception, perhaps, of Roses and Lilies. 
Coming, as they do, after the long cold winter, they turn our gardens and lawns into carpets of extraordinary beauty 
and sweetest fragrance. 
“ Fair yellow daffodils, stately and tall! 
When the wind wakes how they rock in the grasses. 
And dance with the cookoo-buds slender and small! " 
They are very valuable for growing in the house during winter, and some varieties are forced in immense 
quantities by florists for cutting purposes. Our collection has been much enlarged this season, and, in addition to 
the old favorite sorts of “ Daffadowndilly,” “ Butter and Eggs,” “ Poets’ Narcissus, etc., many new varieties 
including some truly magnificent hybrids. We are importing direct from China some of the genuine “ Chinese 
Oriental Narcissus,” called by the natives “Joss Flower” or “ Flower of the Gods.” 
Polyanthus Narcissus. 
Paper White. 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
OR BUNCH FLOWERED DAFFODILS. 
The Polyanthus Narcissus vie with the Hyacinths in general 
attractiveness. They are especially adapted for house culture and 
may be easily grown in glasses, vases and pots in the same manner as 
described for Hyacinths. The beautiful blossoms are produced in 
clusters, of from six to twenty flowers each, at the summit of the tall 
graceful stems, and defuse a most delicious fragrance. They bloom 
very freely, and the flowers last a long time in perfection. No collec¬ 
tion of plants, however limited, will be complete without a fair propor¬ 
tion of this delicate, modest flower. The Double Roman and Paper 
White are very early, and may be had in bloom at Christmas, and a 
succession of bloom from the other varieties can be maintained till May. 
Culture is the same as the Hyacinth; the bulbs being large, a five 
inch pot is required for one bulb.
