There are no hardy bulbous plants which have more points of merit than the Narcissus or Daffodils. Perfectly hardy, growing and doing well in almost any and every position, sun or shade, moist or dry. All conditions seem to suit them, although they have a prefer- ence for a good, deep soil and a semi-shaded position, and every vacant corner in the garden, amongst the grass, under the trees, etc., etc., could not be used to better advantage than by filling with Narcissus. They are equally desirable for pot culture for winter flowering. Three or four bulbs can be put into a 5-inch or 6-inch pot, and, with the same treatment as given to Hyacinths, the dull winter and early spring months can be made bright with their exquisite gold and silver blossoms. But it is outdoors that Narcissus do best, and once planted need no further attention, the clumps multiplying and giving larger and finer results each year, and from an original planting of a few hundred bulbs in two or three years may be cut thousands of flowers without missing them. NOTE.— We offer Narcissus under 7 distinct heads or types: First, the large trumpet varieties, like Emperor and Empress; second, the medium trumpet sorts, of tc7Uch Sir Watkin and Mrs. Lang- try are examples; third, the small trumpet kinds or the Poeticus group; fourth, the Hoop Petticoat sorts, which really belong in the large trumpet class; fifth, the Jonquils; sixth, the Polyanthus or many-flow- ered; seventh, the double-flowering sorts. In, describing Narcissus it is usual to give the color of the trumpet or croicn and the color of the perianth or petals surrounding the trumpet. Large Trumpet Narcissus Emphror.
