MAKSIIALL’S MA4’( MILICSS BULBS. 
Narcissus 
Tile very beautiful siiccies and varieties of 
Narcissus are aiiioug the most popular and largely 
grown of spring-flowering bulbs, and that deserved¬ 
ly, too. Their exquisite grace, beauty and charm 
of habit have been immortalized in the poetry of 
all times. No garden should be without them. 
They are all of the easiest cultivation, thriving 
in almost any soil and situation, and they may be 
left alone for several years after once being planted. 
They do best, however, in a deep and somewhat 
stiff soil, and in a jiartially shaded position. They 
are well adapted for planting by the sides of 
streams, or lakes, or ponds, and in mi.xed flower 
or shrubbery borders. They are also suitable for 
naturalizing in the grass, by the side of woodland 
walks or in open spaces between trees and shrubs. 
AVith the exceirtion of the Polyanthus section, they 
are all irerfectly hardy. 
Narcissus are also very suitable for growing in 
pots, requiring about the same treatment as hya¬ 
cinths, with 3 or 4 bulbs in a 5-inch pot. Some of 
the varieties are grown in largo Jiumbers by florists 
tor winter cut-flowers. Narcissus, Single Von Sion.
