THE CROW IN DAFFODIES 
These beautiful Daffodils are hybrids. The originals of most of the various 
family groups being crosses between the large trumpet Daffodils and the small 
cupped Poeticus, the blood of the latter supplying the red rimmed crowns to 
be found on some of the varieties in this section. The Crown Daffodils em- 
brace the greatest variety of forms and range of coloring. They are strong 
growers, free bloomers, hardy and thrive under garden culture or naturalized; 
while for growing in pots or forced for winter flowers they are splendid, and as 
cut flowers greatly prized. The red rimmed varieties sometimes lose their red 
color in exposed hot sunny locations, therefore should be cut when only half 
expanded and be allowed to develop with stems in water in the house.
