DAFFODILS 
This name for all Narcissi has the authority of the British Royal Horti- 
culture Society. They are universal garden favorites. 
Culture. All Daffodils except the Polyanthus Narcissus are hardy both in 
the mild climate of the south as well as in the colder northern states. In the 
north especially it is best to plant the bulbs rather deep where the frost does 
not reach. Six inches is about right. Smaller bulbs like Jonquils may go more 
shallow and be mulched. In California too and all the south there is an ad- 
vantage in deep planting. We plant the trumpets at least 4” deep. Plant Sept. 
to Nov. Poeticus very early. All do well in pots. 
Sandy loam is the best soil, but any good rich garden soil will do. The ad- 
dition of thoroughly decayed manure is a help. Use no fresh manure. The addi- 
tion of lime to the soil is good and necessary if leaf mould is used, as they 
need a mildly alkaline or neutral soil. 
Many people cut off the tops of Daffodils after flowering. As a result they 
do not bloom for several years. Keep them growing as long as possible to in- 
crease in number and size and to make a blooming bud for the next season. 
Remove the leaves only when they begin to turn yellow. That will be in June in 
So. California.

that the prices ‘‘per 100 not prepaid’’ are shipped by express and you pay this 
charge on receipt of bulbs. 
Emperor. Rich golden trumpet, petals lighter, good grower and free 
bloomer. 10c ea. 85c doz. 100 for $5.00 not prepaid.

Note: Our personal advice is this. If you have only a small garden or a 
limited amount that you can spend for Daffodils, then by all means plant King 
Alfred only. Why pay 85c doz. for Emperor when $1.00 will buy a dozen 
King Alfred that are twice as desirable.
