Elliott's fifty-third annual edition of Elliott's fifty-third annual edition of fall bulbs elliottsfiftythi1898wmel Year: 1898 Autumn Catalogue of Bulbs, Seeds and Garden Requisites, Narcissus or Daffodils. THESE charming, graceful flowers have had a great revival of popularity in the last few years, and are now prime favorites for early blooming in the garden, and are largely forced by florists for winter flowers. They are bright and hardy (except the Poly- anthus sorts), and nearly all are most deli- ciously fragrant; no flower better deserves its popularity. Of easy culture, they are equally satisfactory for potting and for the open bed and borders, where their rush-like glaucous foliage and white and yellow flow- ers are very much admired. For their culti- vation the soil should be well-loosened so that the roots have perfect freedom in their growth. The planting of bulbs should be deep, and about five to ten inches apart. After the foliage dies down in the sum- mer, the bulbs should be lifted and replanted in September or October in a different place in the garden; in this way they will thrive and increase from year to year. Everyone should have at least a few of these chai'm- ing plants. For house culture plant several bulbs together in a pot and keep in a cool room, give plenty of light and water and they will bloom from February to April. The Poly- anthus varieties are earliest and best adapt- ed to house culture, but all will do well in pots if not kept too warm and forced too rapidly.
