In order to have a beautiful bulb garden, Narcissi should be planted 
freely. They thrive in practically any climate in the United States, and are 
not only excellent for outdoors, but millions are used every year for forc- 
ing indoors. Their graceful form, exquisitely shaped cups and trumpets, 
and long, straight stems have made them favorites for cut flower purposes 
with every American gardener. We have added many new varieties to 
the old favorites. For a real revelation, you should try some of the new 
types. They are really exquisite. 
The Botanical terms: Incomparabilis, Leedsi and Barri, formerly used 
to classify Narcissi, have been discontinued, because, through the cross- 
breeding of the different varieties, it is now almost impossible to judge 
which Narcissi belong in which classification. The nine new classifications 
listed below will be easier to understand: 
(1) Trumpet Narcissi: trumpet as long or longer than perianth segments. 
May be self-colored or bi-colored. 
(2) Long-Cupped Narcissi. 
(3) Short-Cupped Narcissi. 
(4) Double Narcissi. 
(5) Triandrus Narcissi: three or more bell-shaped flowers per stem. 
(6) Jonquil Narcissi: three or more small flowers per stem. Flowers but- 
tercup-yellow, and very fragrant. Long rushlike foliage. 
(7) Poetaz Narcissi: cluster-flowering type, with 6 to 12 flowers per 
stem. 
(8) Poeticus Narcissi: having white perianth with red eye. Always 
fragrant. 
(9) Species and wild forms.
