Round the Year in the Garden 



Daffodil (Narcissus Bulbocodium) and its citron-coloured 

 and white varieties, named, respectively, citrinus and 

 monophyllus ; the Cyclamen-flowered Daffodil (Narcissus 

 cyclamineus) ; the Angel's Tears Daffodil (Narcissus 

 triandrus albus) ; the small Rush-leaved Daffodil (Nar- 

 cissus juncifolius) ; minimus, a tiny yellow flower ; the 

 pure white Narcissus moschatus, and Narcissus Johnstoni 

 Queen of Spain, a comparatively small soft yellow 

 trumpet flower? A cool, well-drained spot in the rock 

 garden suits them well, although some of them may 

 be naturalised on the outskirts of trees. 



Trumpet Daffodils. The varieties of Daffodils for 

 planting in beds and borders, and for naturalising in 

 grass, are innumerable. Among the finest yellow 

 Trumpets are Emperor, Glory of Leiden, Golden Spur 

 (especially valuable for growing in pots under glass), 

 King Alfred, obvallaris (the Tenby Daffodil, an early 

 kind, smaller than the others named), P. R. Barr and 

 Van Waveren's Giant. Of bicolor Trumpets (those in 

 which the trumpet is yellow and the perianth white) 

 a few good ones are Apricot, Duke of Bedford, Empress, 

 Horsfieldii, J. B. M. Camm, Mrs. Walter T. Ware, Victoria 

 (excellent for pots in the greenhouse) and Weardale 

 Perfection. The white Trumpets are particularly 

 beautiful, and everyone ought to grow at least a few 

 of them ; such for example as albicans, Madame de 

 Graaff, Mrs. Thompson and W. P. Milner. 



Chalice-cupped and Star Narcissi. Next on the 

 list, according to the accepted classification, come the 

 Chalice-cupped Narcissi, of which representative varieties 

 are Autocrat, Beauty, C. J. Backhouse, Frank Miles, 

 Gloria Mundi, Sir Watkin, Stella and Stella superba. 

 The Barri or Star Narcissi have a smaller cup or crown 

 than the Chalice - cupped varieties. Beautiful sorts 

 are Agnes Barr, Albatross, Burbidgei, conspicuus, 

 Firebrand, Flora Wilson, John Bain, Seagull and 

 Vanessa. The Eucharis - flowered Narcissi are only
