HARDY PLANTS FROM A HARDY CLIMATE 
3 
DAFFODILS, OR NARCISSI 
Early-flowering bulbous plants, coming before the tulips and 
after the crocus. One of the most important groups; tine for cut¬ 
ting and of easy culture. Though any good garden soil suits, they 
prefer a rather stiff, deep soil, and if the situation is such that 
they are shaded from the sun a portion (a third or half) of the 
time, so much the better. They do well among shrubbery. To get 
the best results, they should be set in August or September, so as 
to make a good root-growth before winter. When late setting is 
done, the best results are postponed until the second season. 
If by mail, add 6 cts per doz. for those without stars, and 10 cts. per doz. 
for those marked with a star
