HOW TO FORM A COLLECTION 67 



stitution j should be grown without manure in fibrous 

 maiden loam (l). 



Emperor. A large, stately, self-yellow flower (3). 



P. R. Barr. Very similar to " Emperor," but a little 

 later ; is smaller and more refined in form (4). 



Bicolor Princeps. One of the earliest bicolors ; very 

 useful. It is also a very good subject for cold frame 

 treatment (l). 



Bicolor Horsfield, or Bicolor Empress. These are very 

 similar. Horsfield when well-grown makes rather larger 

 flowers, is about a week earlier than " Empress," and is 

 rather more graceful in form, but the flower of " Em- 

 press" has more substance and lasts longer (2). 



Bicolor " Grandee" Flowers in succession to " Hors- 

 field" and "Empress," to which it is similar. It has 

 very finely shaped perianth segments. Late and very 

 fine (5). 



Sulphur Ajax W. P. Milner. A dwarf sulphur- 

 coloured Daffodil changing to white ; valuable both for 

 its elegance and its good constitution (3). 



STAR NARCISSI. 



Incomparabilis Queen Bess. The earliest of the Star 

 Narcissi (l). 



Incomparabilis Sir Watkin. A gigantic light yellow 

 flower ; a little coarse in form, but very showy and 

 invaluable for decorative purposes (2). 



Incomparabilis Gnvyther. Yellow with orange-stained 

 cup (3). 



Incomparabilis Autocrat and Incomparabilis Frank Miles. 

 Two remarkably fine forms of self-yellow Incompar- 

 ables, quite distinct from each other (3). 



Incomparabilis Stella Superba (3). See CERTIFICATED 

 VARIETIES, page 91. 



Incomparabilis Beauty (3). See CERTIFICATED
