CERTIFICATED AND FINE VARIETIES 93 



White Queen (Englehearf). April 12, 1898. F.C.C. 

 LEEDSII. One of the very finest Narcissi. In 

 the way of " Sir Watkin," but having the broad 

 perianth of glistening white, and the very large 

 cup of pale citron passing to white. 

 White Wings (Engleheart). April 26, 1898. A.M. 

 NELSONI. Somewhat in the way of " Nelsoni 

 pulchellus? but larger and every way superior. 

 Very shapely round white perianth ; expanded 

 crown of clear yellow. 



Wilhelmina (J. de Groot}. April 24, 1900. A.M. 

 BICOLOR AJAX. A fine large Dutch flower ; two 

 shades of pale creamy-yellow. 



Will Scarlett (Engteheart). April 26, 1898. F.C.C. 

 INCOME. A remarkable flower with white peri- 

 anth, and very large, widely expanded cup of 

 exceeding brilliant orange-scarlet. 

 But there are a great many flowers of eminent beauty 

 which have not yet been certificated. This for several 

 reasons. Some have not been presented to the Committee. 

 Some splendid varieties have been necessarily presented 

 when the flowers were either too young or too old, and 

 so could not be judged at their best. Some, though 

 most excellent, have not been thought sufficiently dis- 

 tinct from other flowers which had previously made a 

 name for themselves. We are, therefore, not surprised 

 to find many first-class flowers that are not in the above 

 list. 



The following are some new varieties of very great 

 excellence which have come under the notice of the 

 present writer, and which he believes will, though not 

 certificated, be among the prominent flowers of the good 

 collections of the future.
