The numerous varieties of Narcissus are very beautiful, and are among the most popular of our flowering bulbs for both garden and house culture; the double and single varieties, being perfectly hardy, are better suited for general out-door planting, and after once planted they may remain undisturbed for several years, but in time they will become so thick and matted together that re-setting will be necessary. The Polyanthus varieties may be planted out if a good covering of leaves or litter is given them to exclude the frost, when they will make an excellent show in the spring, and well repay for any extra trouble. All the varieties are excellent for growing in the house, and with similar soil and treatment to that recommended for Hyacinths, very satisfactory results are sure to be obtained. DOUBLE NARCISSUS.
