‘“POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
Producing clusters of fragrant flowers, not recommended for 
outdoor planting, except in mild climates. 
Bulbs of these varieties, grown in pebbles, can be had in bloom 
from Christmas until Easter. Upon arrival, plant immediately, if 
wanted early, and put in a cool place, free from frost. When well 
rooted they can be taken into heat, the milder the temperature, 
the finer the flowers. For a succession of bloom plant at intervals 
of two weeks, keeping unplanted bulbs in a moderately cool tem- 
perature and dry. The water requires changing occasionally, a 
little powdered charcoal added to the water helps to keep it fresh. 
The earlier the bulbs are planted the longer the time required for 
rooting; December plantings root very quickly. Soleil d’Or will 
give best results if not brought into heat until buds start to show. 
While growing these in pebbles is usually the preferred way, much 
better results will be had by growing in pots with soil.
