LARGE TRUMPET 125 



garden culture, and naturalising. Popular on account of 

 its satisfactory qualities and low price. There are several 

 forms of spurius resulting, no doubt, from differing en- 

 vironments and selection. Spurius major and spurius 

 major Blondin, spurius excelsior, spurius Golden Spur, and 

 spurius Henry Irving are improvements. All narcissus 

 of spurius blood are impatient of too rich or freshly ma- 

 nured soil, and can be killed by kindness. They thrive best 

 in gritty loam or turf and in partial shade.
