An interesting discussion took place, on the initiative of Percy

 (Merodon equestris.) (See p. 181, fig. 60.) 



Awards Recommended:—

Cultural Commendation. 

 To Mr. R. Sydenham, of Birmingham, for Daffodils exceedingly well 

 grown in jars. 



Other Exhibits. 



Percy D. Williams, Esq., Lanarth, Cornwall, sent specimens of the 

 true 1 College Green ' form of Maximus, which he had originally received 

 from Dublin. It is a large form of Maximus ; but whether this is due to 

 essential variation or to the vigour infused into the bulbs by the Irish 

 soil and climate, and which in time passes out of them when grown in 

 less congenial surroundings, is a matter of doubt. 



Mr. J. Jones, of Ridge way, Malvern, sent one bloom of a seedling 

 Daffodil. 



Messrs. Barr brought a flower named ' Duchess of Normandy.' 

 Miss Willmott, V.M.H., brought from her garden at Warley a giant 

 cyclamineus flower named 'Edge.' 



Messrs. Pearson, of Lowdham, Notts, sent a seedling called 'Alet.' 



Narcissus and Tulip Committee, April 8, 1902. 

 Mr. H. B. May in the Chair, and sixteen members present. 



Awards Recommended :— 



Silver-gilt Flora Medal. 

 To Miss Currey, The Warren, Lismore, Ireland, for a very fine group 

 of Daffodils.
