DOUBLES OF ALL GROUPS 201 



catalogue line — is a very striking plant in bloom. Its 

 medium-sized double flowers with silver and gold-coloured 

 petals intermingled being very beautiful. It does best 

 when naturalised in a partially shaded location in turf. 



Double Scotch. (B. is in. t § 1I$2 doz.) This double 

 form of the wild Scotch daffodil, N. Scoticus, is also cata- 

 logued frequently under its botanical title "N. Pseudo- 

 Scoticus plenus." It is a very showy variety with white 

 and yellow petals interspersed. 



DOUBLE ALL-WHITE TRUMPET DAFFODILS 

 Double White Trumpet. (C. io in. t$2-So ea.) This, 

 we believe, is the only double form of an all white trum- 

 pet daffodil now purchasable, and even it is very rare. 

 Botanically it is known as N. cernuus plenus, being the 

 double of the White Swan's Neck trumpet cernuus. The 

 flowers are of exquisite beauty — cream-white, with a slight 

 lemon tinge in the centre of the flower. It is most success- 

 fully grown in pai;tial shade naturalised in grass. It 

 resents manure. 



DOUBLE MEDIUM CROWN DAFFODILS 

 This section is comprised of double forms 

 of well-marked single varieties of N. incom- 

 parahilis, or the supposed direct progeny of 

 natural crosses between an Ajax trumpet 

 form and A^. poeticus. The flowers of this 

 group do not retain either trumpet or crown- 

 like formation, for the corona bursts bounds, 

 curves back and socially mingles with the 

 petals, thus forming what is called a "rose- 

 double" daffodil.
