SEEDLING NAECISSI. 
A CONSPICUOUS feature of the meeting of April 23 was the Kev. 
G. H. Engleheart's exhibit of hybrid and seedling Narcissi. 
The lateness of the spring, which brought early, mid-season, and 
late kinds into almost simultaneous bloom, made it possible to 
stage an unusual range of form and colour. 
A remarkable series of hybrids of N. triandrus was grouped 
separately in pots. These flowers are the offspring of the major 
or Glenan variety of triandrus and other Narcissi, and invariably 
possess great refinement of colour and shape. Perhaps the most 
beautiful is "Snowdrop" (N. triandrus x N. albicans), with 
large, Fuchsia-like, pendulous flowers of uniform ivory-white, the 
scape sometimes two-flowered. Similar white seedlings were 
the produce of N. cernuus and N. moschatus of the Pyrenees 
crossed with triandrus. Emperor x triandrus yielded a 
drooping flower of an exquisite tone of pale sulphur, approach- 
ing Emperor in size, while Horsfieldi gave a flower of the same 
delicate colouring, but more " bicolor." Perhaps the outcome 
of N. poeticus x N. triandrus was as attractive as any other — 
clustered white blossoms with creamy cups on slender stems, the 
whole plant being very graceful. Other crosses of triandrus 
were shown. 
The most striking flower of the whole collection was the 
new bicolor trumpet Daffodil "Ellen Willmott," which is
