spread on the surface and then raked in. It is also beneficial to add bonemeal at 
the rate of |-1/2 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 Narcissus can be planted between clumps of herbaceous plants, which hide as 
well as shelter the foliage later in the season. 
TRUMPET NARCISSUS 
Trumpet or crown as long as or longer than the perianth segments.
