The 100 bulbs of Daffodil “Conspicuus” 1 bought from you last fait 
bloomed profusely and true to name. MRS. CLARENCE IF. HANSON. 
Polyanthus Narcissus 
These are the varieties most extensively used for growing 
in pebbles or Lbre and water to flower indoors throughout the 
winter. They produce clusters of fragrant flowers and are not 
recommended for outdoor planting except in mild climates. 
The bulbs may be forced to bloom from Christmas until 
Easter. For earliest flowers plant the bulbs as soon as re¬ 
ceived and place the bowls in a dark cool place free from 
frost. When well rooted they may be taken into heat. The 
milder the temperature the finer the flowers. For a succession 
of bloom plant at intervals of two weeks, keeping unplanted 
bulbs in a dry place of living room temperature. The water 
requires changing occasionally and a little charcoal added 
to the water helps to keep it fresh. Early planted bulbs re¬ 
quire longer to root. Planted after December, they root very 
quickly. Soleil d'Or will give the best results if not brought 
into heat until the buds start to rise. 
Chinese Sacred Lily (Southern grown). Large clusters of white 
flowers with yellow cups. Heavily scented. Very easily 
grown in bowls. 3 bulbs 35c, $1.25 doz., $9.00 per 100. 
Grand Soleil d'Or (Southern grown) (See illustration). Large 
clusters of dark yellow flowers with bright orange cups. Tall 
growing and vigorous. Extensively used for forcing. 3 bulbs 
40c, $1.50 doz., $10.00 per 100. 
Paper-White Grandiflora (Southern grown) (See illustration). 
The most popular for forcing in pebbles and water. Large 
clusters of pure white fragrant flowers. 3 bulbs 25c, 85c doz., 
$6.00 per 100.
