NARCISSUS, ORANGE phcenix. (Seepage 15.) 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
These Narcissi produce fine large clusters of 
flowers, which have a very delicious scent. They 
may be forced very easily and early, and are also 
fine for outdoors. 
Note. —Polyanthus Narcissi, although not con¬ 
sidered hardy, have always proved hardy with us 
with a covering, and produce much larger flowers 
and more of them than those grown in the house 
in pots.

New Lilacs on Their Own Roots 
Of lute years there has been a multitude of new varieties of Lilacs grown, and some of them have very great beauty, but unfortunately 
almost all the stock offered, both in this country and Europe, has been budded on privet and is practically worthless, for Lilacs grown on 
this are certain to die in a few years. Nurserymen bud Lilacs on privet because they can produce a large stock quickly and inexpensively, 
but one Lilac on its own roots is worth a score of budded plants. 
I have arranged with a leading English nursery to supply the varieties described, which are of the best, in good, strong plants on their 
own roots. For prices of Budded Lilacs, see my general list of shrubs. 
I secured all the available stock of the following Lilacs in Europe last summer, and have only a limited supply to offer. They may not 
arrive in time for fall delivery, and in that event they will be delivered in the spring. 
Price, except where noted, $1 60 each, $15 per doz.
