fl>otyantbu0 IRarcissus, Totus Alb us Grandiflorus. POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS have come to the front as popular and satisfactory flowers for pot- culture in Winter. They are of the easiest culture and can be potted any time from October to Janu- ary. Light loamy soil can be used, as the bulbs require little or no fertilizing material. Several bulbs can be grown in a large pot or box, and, as will be seen by our en- graving, the effect is extremely lovely and graceful. To secure good drainage, cover the bottom of the pot or box with broken crockery, sand or pebbles; fill with soil to within three inches of the top, then set up the bulbs and cover them loosely with i)£ to 2 inches of soil; water well and place in a cool, dry cellar or similar place. They will need no other attention except an occasional look to see they are not getting too dry. When the first shoot appears bring into full light, moderate temperature and moisture, and they will grow famously and delight all with their lovely flowers. CClc offer the choicest varieties; first quality bulbs, sure to bloom.
