io Hardy Bulbs for Winter and Spring Blooming 
NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS 
T HE great variety of peculiar and graceful forms which the Narcissus assumes in its numerous 
varieties is particularly agreeable and fascinating. 1 he well-known Daffodil and the Jonquil 
belong to this family of plants. With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties the bulbs aie hardy 
in all parts of the country, and should be planted in Autumn in the garden border at the same time 
and in the same manner as Hyacinths and Tulips. The named varieties of the Single Narcissus in 
the following list are those of some of the most beautiful and the most highly prized, and their cul¬ 
ture, including also the Jonquils, cannot be too strongly advised. The double varieties are less 
desirable for cutting, but they make a great show in the garden in early spring, and for this purpose 
they are admirable. The Polyanthus varieties are particularly desirable for window and greenhouse 
culture, planting three or four in a five or six-inch pot. All species of Narcissus love plenty of mois¬ 
ture. In pot culture this habit can be observed by keeping the plants freely supplied with water, and 
when grown among pebbles in bowls of water they are secured from drought.

NARCISSUS, PAPER WHITE GRANDIFLORUS 
TWENTY-SIX DAYS OLD 
Vapor White, Grandijfloruft. The best 
Narcissus for growing in water. The Chinese 
or Sacred Lily is usually considered the best variety 
of Narcissus for water-blooming, and in foliage and 
amount of bloom it is very satisfactory. In offering 
this variety as superior to it our friends may think 
we are drawing on our imagination, but it is a fact 
that Paper White is far more desirable for that pur¬ 
pose. The flowers are larger, more attractive in 
color , and are intensely fragrant. Place them in 
a shallow dish of water, with gravel or small stones at 
the bottom. Each 4 cents; dozen 40 cents; hund¬ 
red 51.75. 
Polyanthus Narcissus, Superfine Mixed. 
Each 5 cents ; dozen 50 cents; hundred $2.00. 
prepay mail or express charges, 
not prepaid.
