Narcissus (Daffodils) 
The Narcissus family is indeed an important one in the early 
spring garden, and in recent years hybridizers have given 
thoughtful attention to the development of many new varie¬ 
ties. In fact, so numerous and so varied are the flower types 
that there are now eleven distinct classes and many of these 
are subdivided. By selecting the various types you can enjoy 
Narcissus for many weeks in your garden. 
Perhaps the most useful of all of our spring-flowering bulbs 
for informal planting are the Narcissus. They fit well into the 
rock-garden or the shrub border, and they can be used in many 
corners that will later be completely shaded with foliage, be¬ 
cause the blooms appear before most trees or shrubs are in 
full leaf. They are delightful along paths and walks in wood¬ 
lands or along streamsides. 
Narcissus are also important and exceedingly valuable be¬ 
cause they are so long-lived. In short, when you buy Narcissus, 
you make a permanent investment. The bulbs increase rapidly 
from year to year and the flowers do not deteriorate as long as 
the plants are kept in a flourishing condition. It is only when 
bulbs become very much crowded that they fail to bloom satis¬ 
factorily. If such a condition should occur in your garden, 
merely dig the bulbs and reset them. You will be amazed at 
the rapidity with which they multiply. 
Many varieties are useful for forcing in the greenhouse or 
in the window garden, in fact, many are pre-cooled especially for 
this purpose. 
Now, more than ever, w^e should turn our attention to this 
great plant family since Narcissus are now produced in America 
in great quantities. We have endeavored to offer you in the 
following list a representative selection of the finest and most 
useful varieties for American gardens.
