CHAPTER X 



THE LARGE TRUMPET DAFFODILS 



All varieties, regardless of size, belong to 

 this group, if they have a tubular corona ex- 

 panding trumpet-like at the mouth where it 

 must be as broad as it is long; the trumpet 

 not be less than three-quarters the length of 

 the petals. This "large trumpet," or daffodil, 

 section is again sub-divided into three colour 

 groups, viz: the "Ajax self," or all yellow; 

 the "Ajax bicolor," or white winged yellow 

 trumpets; and the "Ajax albino" or all-white 

 varieties, 



ALL YELLOW TRUMPETS 



This group of more than 100 different 

 named varieties has been developed from the 

 wild N. Pseudo-Narcissus. The all-yellow 

 trumpet varieties have greater adaptability 

 to varying methods of cultivation in most cli- 

 mates and soils than any other members of the 

 family, are excellent for naturalising and for 

 winter forcing.
