Datfodils blend in with any kind of landscape, 
whether woodland, meadow, orchard, along the 
brook, on the slopes or around the lake. 
They will thrive in shady as well as sunny 
positions, are not too particular as to soil, pro- 
vided there is proper drainage and in most cases 
bone meal will sufficiently restore soil require- 
ments, but a complete fertilizer or bulb food, 
applied after flowering, will insure good bulb 
growth and large flowers. 
Narcissi have a short dormant period and 
should be planted early, from late September 
until the end of October. Depending upon the 
weather, later plantings are feasible but not advis- 
able. 
No special working of the soil is necessary, 
but the holes should be dug in such a manner 
that the soil around the bulb is loose; when exten- 
sive plantings are contemplated a grub axe is the 
best tool. 
Oh, my brave daffodils, my golden army, 
That took the hill so gayly yesterday!
