F. H. HORSFORD. CHARLOTTE. VERMONT 
Daffodils, or Narcissi 
Early-flowering, bulbous plants, coming before the tulips and 
after the crocus. One of the most important groups; fine for 
cutting, 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 post¬ 
poned until the second season. 
If by mail, add 6 cts. per do/., for those without stars, and 10 cts. per 
doz. lor those marked by a star.
