A TRIAL GARDEN 



Graaff, Minnie Hume, Artemis, Waterwitch, Crown 

 Prince, and Flora Wilson. 



Pheasant Eyes: Ornatus, Homer, Horace, Cas- 

 sandra, Recurvus, Eyebright, and Comus. 



Doubles: Argent, Orange Phoenix, Golden Phoenix. 



Bunch-flowered: Elvira (Poetaz), Campernelle 

 jonquils {rugulosus variety). 



Of each of these I planted two a year ago. 

 Fifty varieties set some four inches apart gave 

 three good rows of daffodils, and of these but 

 four or five were already familiar. The first to 

 really attract and enthrall me was Eyebright. It 

 draws as a star at night. Its rarely brilliant color 

 and distinct form make it one of the greatest 

 joys afforded by the trial garden. Next came 

 the wonderful Argent, a fine star-shaped flower, 

 half-double, pale yellow and cream-white. Then, 

 in order, Barri conspicuus was a very fine daffodil 

 — yellow perianth, with cup of brilhant orange- 

 scarlet. Then Mrs. Walter T. Ware, one of the 

 best of the lot in every way. Gloria Mundi is a 

 very beautiful flower, yellow perianth with a 

 bright cup of orange-scarlet. Sir Watkin, a huge 

 daffodil, and effective, is entirely yellow. Minnie 

 Hume, a pale flower full of charm. Artemis, a 

 beauty, small but of compact form. Eyebright
