Two and three years down plantings of Narcissus tazetta Linn. cv. Paper White Grandiflorus were tried under three planting densities of 30,40 and 50 bulbs/m2 and bulb grades of 10–12,12–14 and >14 cm circumference. The bulbs were planted in fall of 1999 and the experiment was concluded in summer of 2002. Data on foliar, floral and bulb development parameters were recorded in three growing seasons. Study revealed superiority of a three-year-down crop in density of 50 bulbs/m2 and bulb grade of > 14 cm in terms of increased foliar, floral and bulb yield.
