is being prepared by Colonel Herbert
A. White, judge advocate OF the

Colonel White expressed the opinion
that conditions might exist under
which an officer ordered 10 Texas

Narcissuses are particularly fine for
naturalizing in irregular clumps on
the edges of grassy places, In her
haceous borders or in open shrubbery
groups. When planted they may be
left undisturbed for a number of years
and, if favorably located and allowed
to mature their foliage without NOW
ing, will continue to bloom. Perhaps
the best cultural practice is to dig and
divide and replant the bulbs once in
4 or years. They may be dug
when their leaves become yellow and
do best if replanted Immediately.
They make the best showing when
spaced about . inches apart in irregu-
lar clumps all of one variety, planting
the bulbs so that the tops are 2l2 to
inches below the surface.
There are all sorts of narcissus
flowers, Of which the larger kinds are
called daffodils. The long trumpets
are mostly yellow, although there are
white kinds, and also some with
white floral leaves and yellow
trumpet. The next group would be
called the short trumpets, or the
poets narcissus, with white flowers,
with II very fiat, saucer-shaped
trumpet, usually edged with orange
or red. They do best in moister soils
and are usually late in Towering.
Between the long trumpets and the
short trumpets there are number of
graduations IN the length of the
trumpet. Those which are all white
are called LeedSii. The others, which
are all yellow, or white and yellow,
are divided into two groups. Those
with trumpet from one-third to two
thirds the length of the floral leaves
are called Incomparabilis narcissus
while those with trumpets less than
one-third the length of the floral
leaves are called Barrii narcissus.

The polyanthus group, such as the
paper whites, are not hardy in this
region. They are grown indoors, in
pots of soil or in water. These ten

hardy kinds, and gave a hardy group
of hybrids known as poetaz. The
colors are yellow. or yellow and white,
with flowers appearing in groups of
two or more to a stem and usually
with fragrance.
Narcissus is a group name and can
be applied to all. Daffodil is used to
designate the large trumpet forms.
Jonquils are those with rush-leaves
