BODDINGTON S ~^yUa£cta/ BULBS 15 New Narcissus Poetaz Hybrids N. poelicus ornalus X poly^anthus varieties By crossing tliese two classes, Narcissus poeticus ornatus being the seed parent, our growers have succeeded in obtaining a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-flowered Narcissi. The indi- vidual flowers have all more or less the Poeticus shape and size. Besides being hardy, this class has the merit that they have not inherited the strong, disagreeable scent of the Tazetta Narcissus. They are equally valuable for bedding and forcing. A bed of these Narcissi is simplj' covered by a dense mass of flowers. They force extremely easy. This is an entirely new strain, and has no similarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore. The following we consider the best of this lovely type : Al Sace Petals pure white, with yellow eye; when bursting â into flower the eye is slightly edged reddish. Broad, large flowers of true Poet form; one of the earliest. Has three flowers on a stem. 5 cts. each, sects, per doz., $3.50 per 100, $32.50 per 1,000. ElvirSl Pure white, with yellow eye ; large flower of a remark- * ably good substance. Long-stemmed and a good keeper; four flowers on a stem. Highly recommended. 5 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25 per 1,000. IdeaL Perianth white, with dark orange eye ; large truss bear- ing six to seven flowers ; beautiful, striking color. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $38 per 1,000. Irene Grand variety. Perianth pure yellow, orange eye. * Eight to nine flowers on a stem. 75c. per doz.,f6 per 100.
