NARCI8SUS" WILL BE SUBJECT OF GARDEN STUDY The Garden Clubs of South Carolina have been asked to take up as their subject'for iho year tho study of Narcissus. At the September meeting of the Camden Guidon Club Miss Helen llarman read an interesting and informative paper which she had prepared on tile subject and she has kindly allowed the Club to use the Article which follows: "Searching in our new book "The Garden Encyclopedia" presented to tiie club by Miss Keller, I find Narcissus described as a genus of chiefly | spring lowering bulbous plants, the j hardy forms being called Daffodils and sometimes Jonquils, though that: is correctly tho name of a single! species, memberss of tho Amarylli family. Narcissi are characterized by flowers of white, yellow or orange with six flaring perianth segments that surround a central tube of varying lengths, known as tho trumpet, cup, corona or crown. "The greatest development of the narcissus has taken place in England and Ireland where gardeners have taken the original species and early hybrids and with cross fertilization developed many now forms in endless variety. "In the early stages botanists tried to classify the new types In accord- ' ance with wild species which they most nearly resemble; in some cases they were named for the introducer such as Barrl or LeedBi. But the I clearest guldo to narcissus Identifies- * tion is found in the terms used by bulb dealers in their catalogues, which describe the form of the flower rather 1 than the supposed parentage. e "Now we need not worry too much V over the fact that there are no Dutch bulbs coming over from Holland for a planting this fall. It will take more a than war to stop us from having t( spring bloom. 1< "To find out the truth about our t bulb supply a number ol leading bulb 0 growers, importers and wholesalers s of this country were questioned. Thla r is what the men best posted about * bulbs In America say: 'For a number, I of years now our narcissus bulbs have grown entirely in this country, mainly 1 around Puget Sound and in northern Oregon. The total supply of bulbs Is normal though the demand has been unusually strong. Prices will be somewhat higher depending on the variety'. "Narcissus show off to best advan- ^ tage when they give the impression of * not having been planned or planted. 1 For small gardens small group plant- ? ing of separate varieties are effective. r To produce a naturalization appearance the older short-cup and smaller f trumpet kinds are preferable to the ^ more refined hybrids which are less I likely to continue flowering over a a period of years. a "Narcissi thrive best in water-bound J regions, thus the North Atlantic and C North Western states and Michigan g are the principal sources of the hardy narcissi while the Southeastern states and Southern California lead In the 1 tender varieties. ' , r "With one exception all are hardy ^ although those grown outdoors In ex- I! osed places might require winter cot- 11 irlng of leaves, straw or salt hay to I >revent quick thawing and freer!^ I I "For planting, a slightly sheltered I | pot is best and plant as early as pos- fl Ible. Prepare the soil with well rot- I I ed manure or bone meal but do not I &t the manure touch the bulbs. When I he bulbs are lifted for replanting I I nly those that fail apart readily I hould be separated; and digging and I ! eplanting should be carried on simul-1 I aneouBly."?Camden Garden Club II 'ublJcity.
