. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. FlBBDABT 16, 1017. The Florists' Review 21. BXTLB GBOWINO IN HOLLAND. [This is the third and last installment of a paper read at a recent meeting of the Cleve- land Florists' Club, in CleTCIand, O., by John Van Leeuwen, of Sassenheim, Holland. The pre- ceding two sections of his paper were published in The Review of January 25 and February 1.] We now come to a genus of extremely popular bulbous plants, namely, nar- cissi. In Greek mythology Narcissus was the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope, and was distin- guished for his beauty. The seer Tiresias told his mother that he would have a long life, provided he never looked upon his own features. The rejection of the love of the nymph Echo drew upon him the vengeance of the gods, who made him see his own image. He fell in love with his own reflection in the water of a spring and pined away, or killed him- self, and the flower that now bears his name sprang up in the spot where he died. That is one version. Narcotic and Poisonous Properties. Another opinion is that the name is derived from the word "narce, " on account of the flowers' narcotic per- fume. In mythology the plants were consecrated to the Furies, who are said by the older writers to have employed the narcissus to first stupefy those whom they wished to punish. "Writers of comparatively modern date claim that the odor of the flowers causes mad- ness, just as the flowers of the common scarlQt field poppy are now said by country people to induce faintness or headache. In support of this theory many instances are on record in our own day where the odor of Narcissus Taz- etta, for example, in close rooms, has proved extremely disagreeable if not actually injurious to delicate persons. All the parts of the plant are narcotic and highly poisonous, a fact which has been proved by many florists who have to cut a large quantity of the flowers every day. Narcissi are natives of central Euro
