In a general way, Daffodil and Narcissus mean the same thing; Daffodil is the common 
name and Narcissus, the botanical name. Common usage among garden makers in 
this country has applied the term Daffodil to the giant trumpet varieties, while the 
smaller or medium trumpet, as well as the Cluster-flowered and Poet’s types, are 
referred to as Narcissus. Botanically these smaller or medium trumpet Daffodils are 
the Barrii, Incomparabilis, Leedsii, Poeticus, Poetaz, Polyan¬ 
thus and Miniature types. Some gardeners apply the name 
Jonquil to the giant trumpet Daffodils, but this is misleading, as 
Jonquils are small flowered, sweet-scented, have 
foliage of about the same thickness as width (rush¬ 
leaved). Other forms of Narcissus have flat or 
grass-like leaves. 
We are listing the different classes separately, de¬ 
scribing the distinguishing characters of each, and 
in so doing hope it will be of some help to you in 
selecting the varieties you want in your garden. 
As Narcissus bloom early, last a long time, and 
may be had in so many lovely varied forms, they 
have few equals as garden flowers. They are most 
i desirable for any garden purpose—in masses in 
beds or borders, in groups of 12 or more here and 
there in the hardy perennial border or in the fore¬ 
ground of shrubbery. For naturalizing in large 
quantities, no other flower is more suitable. Nar¬ 
cissus are also ideal, easily grown subjects for 
winter blooming in the house. 
How to Grow Daffodils 
Outdoors: For best results plant bulbs as early in the 
fall as possible, 4 to 8 in. deep and 6 to 10 in. apart; the 
exact distances depend on the size of the bulb and 
the nature of the soil. In very cold locations, after the 
ground is frozen hard, cover with leaves, straw or coarse 
litter to a depth of 4 to 6 in. 
Indoors: Put several bulbs, about 1 in. apart (same 
variety), in a pot, barely cover the bulbs with soil, water 
thoroughly, and put in a cold-frame or heel-in in the 
garden for 8 to 10 weeks to force root development 
before bringing indoors for winter blooming.
