NARCISSUS or DAFFODILS 
The terms Narcissus and Daffodil are interchangeable, although there exists a tendency to apply the term Narcissus to the small- 
flowering groups like Poeticus, Leedsii, Barrii and Incomparabilis, while the larger-flowered Trumpet varieties are most frequently re- 
ferred to as Daffodils. 
Soil and Its Treatment. Narcissus 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, with composted leaves or 
well-rotted cow manure 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 bonemeal at the rate of 114 ounces to the square yard while 
digging the soil. Never use fresh manure of any kind at planting time—it burns the roots. On very poor and dry sandy soils we recom- 
mend the addition of about 1 ounce per square yard of sulphate of potash to be sprinkled over the surface of the ground after planting. 
Naturalizing in Grass, etc. All Narcissus 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 outline, each group or clump to contain one variety only. Avoid straight 
lines, circles, and symmetrical designs. In the hardy border, masses of Narcissus can be planted between clumps of herbaceous plants, 
which hide as well as shelter the foliage later in the season.
