Garden Vurieties. These hardy, garden flowers have 
become great favourites during recent years. The 
numerous hybrid forms raised in gardens are excellent 
subjects for pot culture, and form a pleasing feature 
in the greenhouse and conservatory. Under the three 
following names are given descriptions of what may be 
regarded as the types of three distinct groups of garden 
Narcissi. The numerous named forms of each will be 
found described in the catalogues of specialists; but a 
few of the more recent and desirable varieties in the 
various sections are here briefly noticed. 
Types of Garden Narcissi. 
N. Barrii (Barr's). jl. horizontal or ascending; perianth tube 
greenish, sub-cylindrical, lin. long; segments pale sulphur- 
yellow, oblong, spreading horizontally, slightly imbricated when 
fully expanded, l}in. long, jin. broad at the middle; corona 
lemon-yellow below, orange-yellow at the throat, obconical, 4in. 
long, gin. broad at the throat, crenulate, strongly plicate in the 
upper half; stamens all six opposite the base of the corona ; 
style just overtopping the anthers ; ovary oblong-triangular, jin. 
long ; peduncle ancipitous, one-flowered, about lft. long; pedicel 
and spathe as in V. tncomparabvilis. 1. linear, twisted, glaucous, 
above lft. long, jin. broad. No doubt a hybrid between NV. in- 
comparabilis and N. poeticus, the former predominant. 
N. Burbidgei (Burbidge’s). 1. horizontal orascending ; perianth 
tube green, cylindrical, lin. long ; segments pure white, spreading 
horizontally, not imbricated, oblanceolate - oblong, cuspidate, 
ljin. long, 4in. broad; corona obconical, din. long, }in. broad 
at the throat, very plicate, crenulate, the base yellow, the edge 
bright red; anthers and stigma placed in the corona; ovary 
oblong-triangular, }in. long; peduncle one-flowered, ancipitous, 
lft. long; pedicel and spathe as in N. poeticus. J. linear, 
glaucous, twisted, above lft. long, jin. to }in. broad. No doubt 
a hybrid between NV. poeticus and N. incomparabilis, the former 
element strongly predominating. 
N. Leedsii (Leeds’). i. about horizontal; perianth tube greenish, 
cylindrical, fin. long ; segments milk-white, spreading, oblanceo- 
late-oblong, cuspidate, lin. to 1jin. long, }in. to jin. broad at the 
middle, not imbricated ; corona pale sulphur-yellow, in. long, 
jin. in diameter at the throat, plicate in the upper half, crenulate 
at the erect margin; anthers all six placed opposite the base 
of the corona; style overtopping the anthers; ovary oblong- 
triangular, jin. to sin. long; peduncle one-flowered, ancipitous, 
a little longer than the leaves ; pedicel lin. long; spathe one- 
valved, membranous, clasping the pedicel and ovary. J. linear, 
twisted, glaucous, lft. long, jin. broad. Probably a hybrid 
between V. poculiformis and some form of N. incomparabilis.

former parent.

Sin. long and 8in. in circumference, reddish-purple, sometimes 
sbaded with violet, splashed and marbled with creamy-white,

green, thickly mottled with purple, ascending, the throat 
shining ; lid cordate-ovate, acute, about the size of the mouth
