This species is the one best adapted for house culture, and for the. THE NARCISSUS. amateur to have blooming during the winter months. The flowers ai'e beau- tifully scented, and remain in bloom from four to six weeks. The house culture is exactly the same as that under the heading of hyacinth. The varieties that give most satisfaction are Grand Monarque, white, with yellow cu}) ; Staten General, yellow, with white cup ; Bazelman Minor, yellow, gradually shading to white; Grand Soleil D'Or, golden yellow, exceedingly handsome. These are probabl}' the varieties the most used, the world over, for forcing. Many other varieties are generally listed in the bulb catalogues, but I do not claim they will produce such handsome spikes. If any person requires a larger selection, try an assorted lot intermixed with the others for winter bloom. Planting Polyanthus Narcissus this month, you cannot ex- pect them to flower until February or March ; but in spite of the time it takes them to flower, do not delay in starting the bulb, for, as I have previ- ously advised, the longer they remain in the dark the better rooted, and as a result the flower spikes will be lai'ger. Jonquils, double and single, are allied to the Narcissi, and are natives of the south of Europe. Perfumed waters are made from Jonquil flowers, giving the impression to the reader that they must be very fragrant. Either the double or single Jonquil is well adapted to open-air culture, and may be treated in the same manner as the Narcissus, except that the bulbs being smaller they are only planted three inches below the surface of the ground. They are easily forced, and if planted this month they will
