DOUBLES OF ALL GROUPS 205 



are borne in twos and threes on short stocky flower stalks. 

 It does better when naturalised in grass on dry warm hill- 

 sides than in the garden; but it flowers perfectly in pots, 

 if grown cool and slowly. A late bloomer. 



QUEEN ANNE'S DOUBLE JONQUIL. (B. 12 in. f$z doz.) 

 A r . odorus minor plenus. This famous old variety bears 

 tw* or three small sweet-scented double-rose-shaped flowers 

 of rich golden yellow colour on twelve inch stems. It does 

 well in shaded garden beds, naturalised in grass and is 

 charming when grown in pots, five to six bulbs in a five 

 inch pot. 



GIANT DOUBLE JONQUIL. (C. 20 in. f 7SC ea.) N. 

 Campernelli plenus. This magnificent jonquil is said to 

 be a doubled Campernelle, but its strength of growth and 

 size of flower seems to indicate that it is a double form of 

 N. odorus rugulosus maximus. Under favoured conditions the 

 flower stems attain a height of two feet, each stem carrying 

 erect from two to six large double fragrant bright yellow 

 flowers, which deepen to orange at the junction of double 

 cup and perianth. A bed of these left undisturbed until 

 established for at least two years will produce blos- 

 soms in such numbers and size as to be a revelation even 

 to daffodil lovers.
