" Daffodils, Which come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with ;—Shakspeare. The Jonquil {Narcissus Jonquilla, fig. 399) is deliciously scented. There are many floriste' varieties, which may be grown in pots one year, and then planted out in the open border. They appear to deteriorate very little with me, but increase and produce a multitude of bulbs, each sending up splendid trusses of flowers. N juncifolius is a pretty dwarf species. N. maximus (fig. 400) has a noble flower, probably a variety of the common daffodil {N. Pseudo-Narcissus). N incomparabilis, from Southern Europe.
