SWEET-SCENTED JONQUILS l8l 



small flowers are usually borne in pairs though sometimes 

 in clusters of as many as six. There is a double form also. 



N. JUNCIFOLIUS. The Baby Jonquil. (D. 4 in. fl $2.50 

 hu.) Very much like the preceding but smaller; indeed it 

 is the smallest narcissus known, with little buttercup- 

 like flowers, only three-fourths of an inch across from tip 

 to tip of the spreading petals. The cup is usually widely 

 expanded and often perfectly flat. Colour, rich yellow. 

 Delicately perfumed. It does best when grown in pots or 

 the cold-fame. Though it thrives in gritty soil, in well- 

 drained pockets in rock work or similar situations, it also 

 makes an excellent edging plant when in favourable lo- 

 cations. 



N. ODORUS. Campernelle Jonquil, A rush-leaved, 

 cluster-flowered group of narcissus, more robust in growth 

 and bearing larger flowers than N. Jonquilla, with wider 

 petals and more upright crown, and generally known as the 

 "giant jonquil." There are several good forms offered under 

 different varietal names, the most important of which are 

 described as below. All are suited for pot culture six 

 bulbs to a five-inch pot borders and naturalising. 



N. ODORUS INTERJECTUS. (B. 1 8 in. fi*$2 hu.) This 

 is the type known as "Campernelle Jonquil," and though 

 found wild in some parts of southern Europe, is now con- 

 sidered to be one of nature's hybrids. Probably, a cross 

 between N. Jonquilla and N. Pseudo-Narcissus. It is early 

 in blooming, producing two or more full, yellow, fragrant 

 flowers on each stem. 



N. ODORUS RUGULOSUS. Campernelle major. (B. 18 in. 

 tinct form of dwarfer growth than the type, a little later 

 and with a longer, narrower cap of darker yellow ; delight- 

 fully fragrant, rich yellow flowers. It thrives best in shade, 

 or in grass on a slope ground facing north. 



N. ODORUS RUGULOSUS. Campernelle major. (B. 18 in. 

 ff*$2 hu.) More robust and larger flowered than the 

 other forms, and known as the "Improved Campernelle,"
