HARDY PLANTS FROM A HARDY CLIMATE 
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 Septem¬ 
ber, so as to make a good root-growth before winter. When late 
setting is done, the best results are postponed until the second 
season.
