Polyanthus Narcissus 
These are the varieties most extensively used for growing 
in pebbles or fibre 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 temoerature. The water 
requires changing occasionallv and a httle 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.
