NARCISSI OR DAFFODILS 
The terms Narcissus and Daffodil are interchangeable, although there exists a tendency to apply 
the term Narcissi to the small-flowering groups like Poeticus, Leedsii, Barrii and Incomparabilis; 
while the larger-flowered Trumpet varieties are most frequently referred to as Daffodils. 
Sow and its Treatment. Narcissi will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but prefer a deep, rather 
moist, sandy loam. When the soil is of a dry and sandy nature, it should be deeply dug, if possible at 
least a season before planting the bulbs, composted leaves or well-rotted cow manure being added 
and a vegetable or annual crop grown on the ground. Before the bulbs are planted a sprinkling of 
lime should be spread on the surface and then raked in. It is also beneficial to add bone meal at the 
rate of 11% oz. to the square yard while digging the soil. Never use fresh manure of any kind at plant- 
ing time—it burns the roots! On very poor and dry sandy soils we recommend the addition of about 
1 oz. per square yard of sulphate of potash to be sprinkled over the surface of the ground, after plant- 
ing. 
Naturalizing in Grass, etc. All Narcissi will grow equally well in the open or in partial shade. In 
the flower-border, to obtain the best effect, they should be planted in large groups of irregular out- 
line, each group or clump to contain one variety only; avoid straight lines, circles, and symmetrical 
designs. Masses of Narcissi should always appear in the hardy flower border, where they can be 
planted between the clumps of herbaceous plants, which hide as well as shelter the foliage later in 
the season. 
All varieties of Tulips, Narcissi and Hyacinths are listed in the logical order of their respective merits, regardless 
of price. The variety which in our opinion is the choicest of its class, is listed at the head of its class, the second 
best coming second, etc. 
The number after each variety name indicates the relative time of flowering.
