There is another fort of them, which has as high a 

 italk as the other Daffodilhy and a large trumpet-like 

 cup, and is tringed about the edges, which in the Dutcb 

 catalogues goes under the name of Narcijfus trompet ma- 

 jor y this requires the fame cuhure with the former, 

 ^nd fhould be planted in clumps of vernal flowers; this 

 is botanically named Narcijfus major totus luteus, calice

There are great varieties of Daffodills, which are 

 to be had of the florifts. When I treat of a genus of 

 flowers or plants, which have many fpecies, I include 

 none but thofe, whole culture I know from my own 

 practice. 



There are four forts of Daffodillsf which I fhall de- 

 fcribe, which may be had from the Voerhelms and Van 

 Kampen at Haerlem : they make pretty edgings for bor- 

 ders on each fide of a walk, and do very well when 

 planted in that way, immediately oppofite to one another, 

 and in the infide of an edging of Crocuses. The beft 

 forts of Daffodilh for fuch a fhow, are, 1 mo, Narcijff'us 

 •van Sion ; this fort is often mixed with fome of Johti 

 Tradefcanf^ Doffodills : this lafl: is botanically called 

 Narcijfui latifolhis flore plenijjimo, petalis partim flavist 

 partim viridibus interpolatis : the firll is botanically called 

 Narcijfus multiplex, totus Jlnvus. Thofe in the Dutch 

 catalogues are mixed logerher, and I chufe firft to give 

 them their Dutch names, as I have always had my beft 

 colle£iion from Holland. 



2do, Narcijfus incomparabilis, incomparable Daff'odiU^ 

 botanically called Narcijfus incomparabilis ^ Jlore plenOf

 cijfus latijolius, Jlore plenijpmo, petalis majoribus pallidis^

And 4/0, Toe double white Narcijfus^ botanically call- 

 ed Narcijfus albusy flore multiplici odoratiJp7no, which fhould 

 be placed in the edgings of borders, where flowers which 

 blcffom in May are planted. 



AH thofe Narcijfujes or Daffodills, (but which lliould 

 more properly be called PJeudo-NarciJp) fhould be plant- 

 ed in September, in edgings, or within thofe of the Cro-
