in height, have sturdy stems and last several days in water. Several varieties
force to perfection.

NARCISSI OR DAFFODILS

other flowering bulb. They may be grown in garden beds, in herbaceous

are delicately fragrant and will thrive in almost any soil.

them with the smaller round bulbs offered at cheaper prices.
