374 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



F. Single Poeticus, &c. — Ornatus(fig. 18),Recurvus,Poetarum, 

 Odorus, Jonquilla. Ornatus blooms three weeks before Recurvus, 

 and Poetarum comes in about midway between them. 



G. Polyanthus. — Grand Monarque. The Polyanthus section 

 are mostly used for greenhouse culture ; but, just as almost all 

 the other sections previously mentioned will bloom very fairly 

 well indoors, so in the South of England will many of the Poly- 

 anthus Daffodils bloom very fairly well out-of-doors. Grand 

 Monarque does magnificently in my own garden in Surrey, but, 

 speaking generally, all the other classes (A to F) should be tried 

 before the beginner turns his attention to Polyanthus Daffodils 

 (fig. 19) out-of-doors.
