POLYANTHUS 
NARCISSUS 
These are the varieties most extensively 
used for growing in pebbles or fibre and 
water to flower indoors through the winter. 
They produce clusters of fragrant flowers 
and are recommended for outdoor plant- 
ing only in the mild climates of Californic 
and the Southern States. 
The bulbs may be forced to bloom from 
Christmas until Easter. For earliest flower: 
plant the bulbs as soon as received and 
place bowls in a dark cool place free from 
frost. When well rooted they may be taken 
into heat. The milder the temperature, the 
finer the flowers. For a_ succession of 
bloom plant at intervals of two weeks, keep- 
ing unplanted bulbs in a dry place of liv. 
ing room temperature.

May 7, 1947 
The bulbs I received from you have just finished blooming. 
I’ve planted tlowers and bulbs for a long time and never have 
I been so satisfied with anything. 
The roses I received from you are blooming now. So far, 
Eclipse, Golden Rapture, Good News, McGredy’s Sunset and 
Fred Edmunds have already paid for themselves in color 
thrills. 
So take a bow. May all your customers be as satisfied as I. 
Thanking you again, I am,
