years in gardens. Among the wild 

 varieties mention must be made of 

 cambricus with sulphur-white segments 

 and a yellow trumpet; lohularis, with 

 segments and trumpet both lemon- 

 yellow, the latter distinctly 6-lobed ; 

 pallidus prcecox is an early-flowering 

 Pyrenean form, rather variable in size 

 and colour, but usually with very pale 

 lemon-yellow to white flowers; it is 

 excellent for moist grass land, but particu- 

 larly dislikes to come in direct contact 

 with manure ; rugilohus is a fine variety 

 with large primrose-yeUow segments and 

 a large yellow trumpet ; scoticus, the 

 Garland Lily, much finer and earlier 

 than the Common Dafibdil but otherwise 

 similar ; variifornUs (or nobilis) is a 

 Pyrenean form intermediate between the 

 type and N. moschatus, having large 

 white segments and a beautiful canary- 

 yellow trumpet gracefully lobed at the 

 rim. 



There are six main sections of 

 N. Pseudo-narcissus represented by 

 N. bicolor, N. cyclamineus, N. major, 

 N. minor, N. moschatus, and N. muticus, 

 each of which is described separately in 

 alphabetical order in this work as repre- 

 senting distinct types. 



Many choice garden forms have been 

 derived from these and the varieties 

 mentioned above. They are usually 

 divided into sections according to the 

 colour of the flowers, but as there are 

 imperceptible gradations from one colour 

 to the other, it is impossible to draw 

 any hard and fast line between the 

 sections. The best garden varieties are 

 here given in alphabetical order, as they 

 will be more easily found.
