Narcissus or Daffodils 
In a general way, daffodil and narcissus mean the same thing; daffodil is the common name and narcissus the 
botanical name. Common usage among garden makers in this country has applied the term daffodil to the giant 
trumpet varieties, while the smaller or medium trumpet, as well as the cluster-flowered and poet's types, are 
referred to as narcissus. Botanically, these smaller or medium trumpet daffodils are the barri, incomparabilis, 
leedsi, poeticus, poetaz, polyanthus and miniature types. To avoid confusion, we are listing all of these classes as 
daffodils. Some gardeners apply the name jonquil to the giant trumpet daffodils, but this is misleading, as the 
true jonquils and campernelles are small-flowered and sweet-scented; showy when massed in beds, borders or 
naturalized. Their delicious fragrance makes them indispensable for cutting. 
As daffodils bloom early, last a long time, and may be had in so many lovely varied forms, they have few 
equals as garden flowers. They are most desirable for any garden purpose—in masses, in beds or borders, in groups 
of twelve or more here and there in the hardy perennial border, or in the foreground of shrubbery. For naturalizing 
in large quantities, no other flower is more suitable. Ideal, easily grown subjects for winter blooming in the house, 
especially the paper white and soleil d’or narcissus which will be found listed on page 17. 
Brief cultural directions for the growing of daffodils indoors and outdoors are given on this page; full directions 
are printed on every bag containing the bulbs. Daffodils are easy to grow and require little care.
