HOW TO FORM A COLLECTION 73 



Daffodils. 



Minor. — A very small, early, and elegantly formed 

 self-yellow Daffodil ; much better than Nanus ; to 

 be seen at its best, should be grown in a cold frame (l). 



Henry Irving. — A large, very early, self-yellow; should 

 be grown in fibrous maiden loam without manure (i). — 

 See Certificated Varieties, page 85. 



Obvallaris (The Tenby Daffodil). — Very early, distinct 

 and fine ; medium-sized, self-yellow. Especially good 

 in a cold frame (i). 



Capax plenus (Eystettensis). — Very beautiful lemon- 

 coloured double flower, unique in form, the single type 

 of which is not known. Requires warm sandy soil or 

 pot culture (i). 



Coronatus (2). — See Certificated Varieties, page 

 82. 



Maximus. — Deep golden self-yellow ; the most 

 elegant in form and richest in colour of all the Daffodils 

 (2). Prefers deep planting. 



Johnstoni, Queen of Spain (with straight trumpet) or 

 King of Spain (with trumpet spreading at mouth). — 

 Light self-yellow, with reflexed perianth, very distinct, 

 and among the most beautiful ; are best in a cold 

 frame (3). 



Captain Nelson (3). — See Certificated Varieties, 

 page 81. 



John Nelson. — Another fine distinct, rather late 

 flowering yellow daffodil (3).

 elegant, imbricated, hooded bloom ; raised by Mr W. B. 

 Hartland of Cork. 



Sulphur Ajax Pallidus precox. A lovely but very 

 delicate flower (i). — See Certificated Varieties, 

 page 89.
