8o THE BOOK OF THE DAFFODIL 



Allen's Beauty (Willmott). April 9, 1901. A.M. 

 BICOLOR AJAX. One of the earliest. Selected 

 from wild Pyrenean Variiformis by Mr James 

 Allen, of Shepton Mallet. 



Alma (Engleheari). April 10, 1900. A.M. SELF- 

 YELLOW AJAX. Remarkable chiefly for its 

 peculiar and rare shade of citron-yellow. 



Amber (Englehearf). May 7, 1901. A.M. NEL- 

 SONI (" Empress " x P. Ornatus). In way of old 

 Nelsoni Major, but with much broader and flatter 

 perianth segments. The long cylindrical crown 

 is in some seasons flushed with a very beautiful 

 amber tint. 



Apricot (Barr}. April 12, 1898. A.M. AJAX 

 (generally classed under White or Sulphur-coloured 

 Daffodils). Narrow cream- white perianth seg- 

 ments ; the long, narrow and straight trumpet 

 opens primrose and turns a kind of apricot-buff. 

 It is chiefly remarkable for its new and rather 

 peculiar colouring. 



Aurantius (Ware). April 27, 1886. F.C.C. NELSONI. 

 A very distinct and fine flower. The best shaped 

 flower of this class. The white perianth is broad 

 and flat, and does not " spider " like Nelsoni 

 Major. The clear yellow cup is well expanded 

 and ribbed, and in favourable seasons suffused 

 with glowing orange-red. Must probably be 

 still ranked as the best Nelsoni. 



Aureo-tinctus Leedsi (Barr). March 19, 1878. 

 F.C.C. INCOMPARABILIS. One of the earlier red- 

 cupped Incomparables. It is now superseded 

 by the much finer red cups which have suc- 

 ceeded it. 



Beacon (Englehearf). April 13, 1897. F.C.C. BUR- 

 BIDGEI. Flat, stiff, sulphur-white segments ; flat 

 crown of fiery, and unusually deep, red.
