flowers to blossom in the spring. This makes 
them doubly precious, as heralds of a season 
of joy, after the long winter. : 
Great advancement has been made in breeding new 
varieties, which are indicated by stars. 
Culture of the Daffodil 
The daffodil tribe likes a cool root run and its 
owers are at their best in the cooler days of spring. 
Therefore it is essential to dig the soil deeply and pro- 
vide humus. Like the tulip, the daffodil will not thrive 
if there is fresh manure in the soil and commercial 
plant food should be used when the bulb is planted. 
It likes a moist soil but it must have excellent drain- 
age. The plant food should be mixed in the soil below 
the bulb and if the soil is heavy, a cushion of sand is 
advisable. - 
Where to Plant Them 
Daffodils are particularly fine subjects to plant 
under the edge of bushes or among perennials in the 
hardy border as they seem to like to nestle among the 
roots of their neighbors. A clump of golden trumpets 
peeping from beneath the overhanging branches of 
Spiraea Van Houttei or nestling in a sheltered angle 
of a building are one of the gladsome sights of early 
spring. 
A few bulbs can be tucked into odd corners all about 
the garden and they will repay mightily when the first 
sunny days of spring bring their sturdy shoots break- 
ing through the earth. 
Daffodils and narcissus need not be moved for sev- 
eral years if they are flourishing, in fact not until the 
clump becomes so large that it is evident it needs to 
be divided and they should be replanted at once.
