DAFFODIL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION.

NOTE ON THE DAFFODIL CONFERENCE. 



By the Rev. W. Wilks, M.A., Sec. R.H.S. 



In writing a note on the Conference after it is over, it is obvious 



that one writes not for the skilled cultivator, who can trust his 



own experience and knowledge, but for those Fellows of the 



Society who have hitherto paid no particular attention to Daffodils. 



And first it may interest those who were unable to be present 



if I give a complete list of the varieties shown at this Conference ; 



it may also, I think, form a valuable record and reference list for 



future generations of Daffodil-growers. And here I desire to 



acknowledge my grateful obligation — first to Mr. J. W. Barr and 



Mr. W. Logan for assisting me in drawing up the following list, 



and secondly to the Editors of the Gardeners' Chronicle and of 



the Journal of Horticulture, who have so kindly allowed me the 



use of the accompanying plates, in order that the uninitiated may 



form a better idea of the sort of flowers included in the various 



classes into which, for the better examination and comparison of 



the flowers, each exhibitor's collection was subdivided.
