Grand Soleil d’Or listed below, and the increas- 
ingly popular hybrid type known as Poetaz

Polyanthus 
BUNCH-FLOWERING 
Not for outdoor planting, except south of the 
Carolinas. 
Ready for delivery October Ist. 
We are offering three varieties of this splen- 
did type of Narcissus which are now universally 
grown indoors in pots of fiber or soil as well as 
in pebbles and water. 
Dishes of these, grown in pebbles and water, 
may be had in bloom continuously from 
Thanksgiving until Easter. The best method is 
to keep your bulbs in the containers in which 
they are shipped to you and to store them in 
a moderately cool, dry place. Plant different 
lots every 3 weeks from October Ist until 
March Ist, and you can enjoy a constant suc- 
cession of bloom.

Poetaz 
The Hardy Cluster-Flowered Poet’s Narcissus 
The chief characteristic of this type of Nar- 
cissus is that hybridizers by crossing the strong- 
scented Polyanthus varieties with the Poeticus

has the bunch-flowered character of the Poly- 
anthus with larger flowers similar to the Poet’s 
described on this page. They are excellent for 
pot culture and are splendid for the garden border.
