LARGE TRUMPET 1 25 



garden culture, and naturalising. Popular on account of 

 its satisfactory qualities and low price. There are several 

 forms of spurius resulting, no doubt, from differing en- 

 vironments and selection. Spurius major and spuiius 

 major Blondin, spurius excelsior, spurius Golden Spur, and 

 spurius Henry Irving are improvements. All narcissus 

 of spurius blood are impatient of too rich or freshly ma- 

 nured soil, and can be killed by kindness. They thrive best 

 in gritty loam or turf and in partial shade. 



Thomas Moore. (B. 75c doz.) A deep yellow trumpet 

 with clear yellow perianth: said to be similar and better 

 than Trumpet Major. 



Tottenham Yellow. (B. § If 75c doz.) The outline of 

 the flower resembles that of a small Maximus; trumpet 

 deep yellow, perianth of lighter tone the petals being 

 gracefully twisted, very early and fine for pot culture. 



Tuscan Bonnet. (75c doz.) A pale straw-coloured 

 form of Princeps, distinct and beautiful flower of bold out- 

 line. 



Van Waveren's Giant. (C. If $25. ea.) A magnifi- 

 cent new variety — probably the largest trumpet daffodil 

 yet introduced, bright yellow trumpet with a very large 

 open mouth flanged at the brim: perianth light yellow and 

 of rather carapanulate form, flower of great substance, very 

 tall grower; late. 



Willie Barr. (15 in. §1[*$3 doz.) A strong growing 

 daffodil producing perfectly shaped flowers of much sub- 

 stance: an elegantly brimmed trumpet of deep yellow and 

 a campanulate perianth of soft and clear yellow.
