Daffodils 



shown in the R.H.S. Daffodil Year Book, it heads the list 

 of cut flowers from the open, those suitable for planting in 

 grass, and also of the yellow-perianthed Barn't, and is well 

 up in lists for other purposes. William Backhouse must 

 have been a happy and proud man when he first saw it in 

 his seed-bed. I have a great affection for its white peri- 

 anthed sport Branston, and am amused rather than an- 

 noyed when some of the flowers come half and half, and 

 look like cream poured on custard.
