8o THE BOOK OF THE DAFFODIL 



Allen's Beauty {Willmott). — April 9, 190I. A.M. 

 BicoLOR AjAx. One of the earliest. Selected 

 from wild Pyrenean Varitformis by Mr James 

 Allen, of Shepton Mallet. 



Alma {Engleheart). — April lo, 1 900. A.M. Self- 

 Yellow AjAX. Remarkable chiefly for its 

 peculiar and rare shade of citron-yellow. 



Amber {Engleheart). — May 7, 1901. A.M. Nel- 

 soNi (" Empress " x P. Ornatus). In way of old 

 Nelsoni Major, but with much broader and flatter 

 perianth segments. The long cylindrical crown 

 is in some seasons flushed with a very beautiful 

 amber tint. 



Apricot (Barr). — April 12, 1898. A.M. AjAX 

 (generally classed under White or Sulphur-coloured' 

 Daffodils). Narrow cream-white perianth seg- 

 ments j the long, narrow and straight trumpet 

 opens primrose and turns a kind of apricot-buff. 

 It is chiefly remarkable for its new and rather 

 peculiar colouring. 



Kmantms {Ware) April 27, 1886. F.C.C. Nelsoni. 



A very distinct and fine flower. The best shaped 

 flower of this class. The white perianth is broad 

 and flat, and does not " spider " like Nelsoni 

 Major. The clear yellow cup is well expanded 

 and ribbed, and in favourable seasons suffused 

 with glowing orange-red. Must probably be 

 still ranked as the best Nelsoni. 



Aureo-tinctus Leedsi {Barr). — March 19, 1878. 

 F.C.C. Incomparabilis. One of the earlier red- 

 cupped Incomparables. It is now superseded 

 by the much finer red cups which have suc- 

 ceeded it. 



Beacon {Engleheart). — April 13, 1897. F.C.C. BuR- 

 BiDGEi. Flat, stiff, sulphur-white segments ; flat 

 crown of fiery, and unusually deep, red.
