Narcissus 
or Daffodils 
In a general way, Daffodil and Narcissus mean 
the same thing; Daffodil is the common name and 
Narcissus, the botanical name. Common usage 
among garden makers in this country has applied 
the term Daffodil to the Giant Trumpet varieties, 
while the smaller or medium trumpet, as well as the 
Cluster-flowered and Poet’s types, are referred to as 
Narcissus. Botanically these smaller or medium 
trumpet Daffodils are the Barrii, Incomparabilis, 
Leedsii, Poeticus, Poetaz, Polyanthus and Minia- 
ture types. To avoid confusion, we are listing all of 
these classes as Daffodils. 
Some gardeners apply the name Jonquil to the 
Giant Trumpet Daffodils, but this is misleading, as 
Jonquils are small flowered, sweet scented, have 
foliage of about the same thickness as width (rush- 
leaved), while all other Daffodils have flat or grass- 
like leaves. We are offering Jonquils and their 
hybrids as such and not as Daffodils. 
We are listing the different classes separately, 
describing the distinguishing characters of each, an 
in so doing hope it will be of some help to you in 
selecting the varieties you want in your garden. 
Plant as many as you can early this fall and enjoy 
their showy blooms next spring and for many years 
thereafter. 
As Daffodils bloom early, last a long time, and 
may be had in so many lovely varied forms, they 
have few equals as garden flowers. They are most 
desirable for any garden purpose—in masses, in beds 
or borders, in groups of 12 or more here and there 
in the hardy perennial border, or in the foreground 
of shrubbery. For naturalizing in large quantities, 
no other flower is more suitable. Daffodils are also 
ideal, easily grown subjects for winter blooming in 
the house, especially the ‘‘ Paper White Narcissus.” 
Short cultural directions for the growing of Daf- 
fodils indoors and outdoors are given on the opposite 
page; full directions are printed on every bag con- 
taining the bulbs.
