QUEENS CO., N. TRUMPET MAJOR. e Narcisstis. The Narcissus is fast becoming a rival to the Hyacinth and Tulip. The massive spikes of the one and the vivid colors of the other are missing, but the Narcissus—the Daf- fodil of the poets—has charms of its own to counter-balance these.

Most of the garden sorts are particularly showy in masses, and do not require frequent re-setting to keep in vigor and flower, need- ing no care, in fact, beyond the planting. Others of this family are among our best pot bulbs, their clustered stars and stately trumpets of white and cream, lemon, orange and yellow, giving variety, fragrance and warmth of color to our window gardens. In pots they may be had in bloom from Christmas until April. Out of doors, from the earliest to the latest, they last fully two months. Our collection is a particularly choice one and true to name. We offer our bulbs at a low price to encourage extensive planting. Try a few bulbs both for the house and garden. They will prove so beautiful and increase so rapidly you will feel doubly repaid for your outlay. They can be grouped along the border of shrubberies, or at the foot of rockeries, or under trees. Every one should have early, medium and late sorts, as well as some of each of different types. FINE SINGLE NARCISSUS. Leedsi—A lovely early sort, pure white perianth straw cup. Trumpet Major—Golden yellow. One of the best for mass- ing. Fine also for winter blooming. Early. 8cotlcus or Carland —Perianth white, trumpet yellow. Extra for forcing. Pseudo Daffodil, or Lent Lily—Very early and pretty. White and gold. Stella—A favorite vase or corsag
