DAFFODILS 
Daffodils (sometimes called Nar- 
cissus also) are among the most 
beautiful of bulbous flowers, and 
they grow well in most parts of the 
U.S., particularly the midwest. Once 
established, they live for years. 
Plant them 4 or 5” deep in heavy 
soils, or 6 to 8” deep in light sandy 
soils. Use them in beds, as edgings 
to walks or beds, around shrub- 
bery, or in groups in lawns or 
woodland places. They are among 
the finest of all cut flowers too. 
It is good to lift and replant the 
clumps of bulbs every three or four 
years, to avoid crowding. Before 
doing this, let the foliage turn toa 
lifeless yellow. 
Daffodils also make fine house 
plants for early spring bloom. For 
this purpose, they should be potted 
in the fall and left in a cool dark 
place until about January. Then 
_ bring them into a warmer area, but 
not in full light, until the leaves 
start up well. When the buds start 
showing, bring the plant into full 
sunlight.

CROCUS 
Try Them in Rock Garden, or Under 
Tall Shrubs. Also Indoors 
Crocus come up with the melting 
snow, and are so welcome after the 
long winter months. Grow them 
among the shrubbery, or right out 
in the open in the lawn. They will 
have bloomed and died down early 
enough not to interfere with mow- 
ing the lawn. Try some in corners 
too. Very easy to grow. And all are 
the GIANT-flowered kind.
