NARCISSUS EMPEROR 
NARCISSUS BI COLOR EMPRESS, NATURALIZED IN THE GRASS 
From “The Garden” 
Narcissus 
The Narcissi, or Daffodils, are undoubtedly the most beauti¬ 
ful, interesting and useful of all spring-flowering bulbs. 
The flowers have a very great diversity of form, more so than 
any other family, and they are exquisitely graceful and 
charming. One of their most desirable qualities is that they 
are a permanent addition to the garden, and, planted in good 
soil, they increase in size and beauty year after year. 
A majority of the varieties are of the easiest culture, and 
many can be naturalized in the grass, in open \,oods or 
orchards and allowed to take care of themselves. For this 
purpose many varieties are so inexpensive that they can be 
used by the thousand. It must always he remembered, when 
Daffodils are planted in the grass, that it must not be cut 
until the foliage of the Daffodils ripens, about July 1. The 
illustration shows how beautiful Daffodils are when natural¬ 
ized. The Daffodils are all fine for cut-flowers, either tor 
forcing or for growing outdoors; and, at the low prices at 
which many of them can be had, there is no reason why they 
should not be grown by the hundred and thousand. 
We take great pleasure in making a substantial reduction in 
price for some of the finest varieties, also in offering many of 
the rarer kinds from England not before obtainable in this 
country. 
Narcissus Emperor 
This is the largest and finest deep yellow trumpet-flowered 
Daffodil in cultivation, and is really superb, both in foliage 
and flower. A few years ago it was selling at $25 per 100, 
and last year I sold it at what was considered a very low 
price, $7 pBr 100. but a contract made in Holland this year 
enables me to offer fine bulbs at the following prices: GO cts. 
per doz., $2.80 per 100, $34 per 1,000.
