DAFFODILS FOR NATURALIZING 
There is no more enchanting picture in spring than a natural 
planting of Daffodils, so arranged in groups that the individuality 
of each species may be maintained. An irregular massing should be 
made where the grouping is dense in the center with a thinning out 
toward the edges like a summer cloud. 
We have made most satisfactory arrangements with an extensive 
grower of Narcissus in the northwestern area of the State of Wash¬ 
ington, a section renowned for growing sturdy Daffodils, to supply 
us with a quantity of bulbs of certain varieties that are most adapt¬ 
able for naturalizing purposes. 
Practically any soil has been found suitable but when planted 
under trees and in woodlands, the leaves of the trees should not be 
removed, as taking away this natural food will not only 
injure your trees but will prevent the Daffodils from pro¬ 
ducing as they should. 
Plant 8 inches deep but avoid places where water may 
collect as they like drainage. 
Plant them before October 15th or shortly thereafter. 
Place your order early as the demand is increasing for 
these bulbs at this special low price. 100 1000

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
The Polyanthus varieties all are suited for growing in 
pots with pebbles or fibre. They are very free flowering, 
bearing 6 to 9 flowers on a stem. They are not hardy 
enough to be planted out-of-doors in the northern states.

ed in bowls of pebbles and water 
they will bloom in from 3 to 6 
weeks, depending on the season

procurable should be used. Small 
bulbs are not recommended.

Depth at Which Bulbs Should Be Planted 
Many of our customers are frequently puzzled to know the proper depth 
and distance apart at which bulbs should be planted. The accompanying 
diagram conveys the information much more clearly and briefly than we 
could describe it. The chart will bear careful study. Outdoor planting should 
be done early in the fall to secure healthy plants, vigorous foliage and beau¬ 
tiful flowers.
