Narcissus. 
The Narcissi or Daffodils are undoubtedly 
the most beautiful, interesting and useful 
of all spring flowering bulbs. The flowers 
have a very great diversity of form, more so 
than any other family, and they are exqui¬ 
sitely graceful and charming. One of their 
most desirable qualities is that they are a 
permanent addition to the garden, and planted 
in good soil they increase in size and beauty 
year after year. 
A majority of the varieties are of the easiest 
culture, and many can be naturalized in the 
grass, in open woods or orchards and allowed 
to take care of themselves. For this purpose 
many varieties are so inexpensive that they 
can be used by the thousands. It must be 
always remembered that when Daffodils are 
plained in the grass that it must not be cut 
until the foliage of the Daffodils ripens, 
about the first of July. Elsewhere illustra¬ 
tions are given showing how beautiful Daffo¬ 
dils are when naturalized. 
The Daffodils are all line for cut flowers, 
either for forcing or for growing outdoors, 
and at the low prices many of them can be 
had there is no reason they should not be 
grown by the hundreds and thousands. 
I take great pleasure in making a sub¬ 
stantial reduction in price for some of the 
finest varieties, also in offering many of the 
rarer kinds from England not before obtain¬ 
able in this country. 
Narcissus Emperor. 
This is the largest and finest deep yellow 
trumpet-flowered Daffodil in cultivation, and 
is really superb, both in foliage and flower. 
A few years ago it was selling at $25.00 per 
100, and last year I sold it at what was con¬ 
sidered a very low price, $7.00 per 100, but a 
contract made in Holland this year enables 
me to otter fine bulbs at the following prices : 
75 cents per dozen ; $3.50 per 100 ; $32.00 per 
1 , 000 .
