THE DAFFODIL 145 



When May comes the Daffodil season is over 

 and we then think of Herrick's delightful poem : 



Fair Daffodils, we weep to see 

 You haste away so soon. 

 As yet the early rising sun 

 Has not attained his noon. 



Stay, stay, 

 Until the hastening day 



Has run 

 But to the evensong. 



BEST DAFFODILS FOR DECORATIVE WORK 



Large Trumpet Section. 



Y.s.GoIden Spur. A great favourite. 



Cervantes. A good form of Princeps. Pale yellow. 

 Y.S. Emperor. 



Y.s.Glory of Leiden. This is not a high quality flower, but as 

 a decorative flower it surpasses all others in its 

 section. 



Y.s.Henry Irving. A sturdy and early variety. 

 B. Empress. This and Emperor are still great favourites. 

 B. Victoria. I consider this an improvement on Empress. 

 x.Mme. Plemp. A most aristocratic-looking bicolour. 

 E.Mrs. W. Ware. 

 B. Victoria. When well grown this is my favourite among the 



reasonable priced Trumpet bicolours.

 W. P. Mihier. Trumpet ; most lovely in pots ; 1 2 inches 

 high ; opens pale sulphur ; becomes white with 

 age.
