Bulbs for Indoor Culture 
Giant White 
Narcissus 
The Most Satisfactory 
Winter-Blooming 
House Plant 
They will bloom in water from 6 to 
8 weeks from time of planting, if not 
planted too early, and are superior to 
Chinese Lilies or any other Narcissus 
for growing in water. The flowers are 
larger, more attractive in color and 
very fragrant. A very unique and 
simple way to grow them is to place 
6 or 8 bulbs in a shallow bowl with 
water; support the bulbs with peb¬ 
bles, and place the bowl in the dark 
until the roots have started, when they 
should be brought into the light. 
Change the water occasionally to keep 
it pure. From our experiments No¬ 
vember, December and January plant¬ 
ings give best results.
