A bed of Emperor Narcissus 
MICHELL'S NARCISSUS or DAFFODILS 
AMERICAN-GROWN 
No garden is complete without the Narcissus or Daffodil, it being among the most beautiful and fragrant of our hardy spring-flowering bulbs, 
doing well in almost all soils and situations, for naturalizing, planting among shrubbery, and in formal beds. For house or greenhouse culture 
they are equally desirable, planted in pots or pans. 
Cultural Directions.—Owing to the various sizes of the bulbs of different varieties, we cannot give the exact depth to plant, but a good 
rule to follow is to cover the bulb one and one-half times its own depth. For house-culture, 3 or 4 bulbs can be put in a 5-inch or 6-inch pan or 
pot and given the same treatment as hyacinths. 
The letter following the name indicates their relative time of flowering, the A’s being the earliest to bloom, followed by B’s, and the C’s 
the latest. The figures denote the height in inches. 
If Narcissus bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post, add 30c. per 100 for postage to the first and second zones; 
for other zones, please see Parcel Post table on page 1
