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 trum¬ 
pet, 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, Polyanthus 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 
Narcissus have flat or grass-like leaves. 
We are listing the different classes separately, 
describing 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 desirable 
for any garden purpose—in masses in beds or borders, 
in groups of 12 or more here and there in the hardy peren¬ 
nial border, or in the foreground of shrubbery. For nat¬ 
uralizing in large quantities, no other flower is more suit¬ 
able. Narcissus 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.
