large showing of color among spring-flowering bulbs. All 
the exquisite tints from orange-red to golden yellow, sul- 
phur, cream and snowy white are represented, with newer 
sorts of apricot and pinkish tones. Blue-flowering bulbs 
combine well with them. 
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 vari- 
eties are most frequently referred to as Daffodils. 
Soil and Its Treatment. Narcissus will thrive in any or- 
dinary 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 annua! 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 | 2 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 recommend the addition of 
about | ounce per square yard of sulphate of potash to be 
sprinkled over the surface of the ground after planting. 
Naturalizing in Grass, ete. 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 Nar- 
cissus can be planted between clumps of herbaceous plants, 
which hide as well as shelter the foliage later in the season.
