Narcissus 
The very beautiful sjiecies and varieties of Nar¬ 
cissus are among the most ijopular and largely grown 
of sj^ring-flowering bulbs, and that deservedly, too. 
Their exquisite grace, beauty and charm of habit have 
been immortalized in the poetry of all times. No 
garden should be rvithout 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 partially shaded position. They are well 
adapted for iilonting by the sides of streams, or lakes, 
or ponds, and in mixed 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. With the exception of the Polyan¬ 
thus section, they are all perfectly hardy. 
Narcissus are also very suitable for growing in pots, 
requiring about the same treatment as hyacinths; with 
.“I or 4 bulbs in a 5-inch pot. Some of the varieties' are 
grown in large numbers by florists for winter cut- 
flowers.
