NARCISSUS COMMITTEE, MARCH '28. CXI 



NARCISSUS COMMITTEE. 



March 28, 1893. 



Rev. G. H. Engleheart in the Chair, and six members 

 present. 



Dr. Laumonier, of Vernoil, France, sent a large number of 

 flowers for name. Many of them were faded, but the Committee 

 were able to recognise most of them. 



The Rev. N. Miller, Winestead Rectory, Hull, also sent a 

 number for name. 



The Rev. G. H. Engleheart exhibited some very beautiful 

 flowers, the result of his own careful hybridisation. Of them 

 the following were the most noteworthy : — 



"Snowdrop" — Cernuus ? x Triandrus $ . — This was a flower 

 of most exquisite beauty, of a fine clear white throughout, some- 

 what larger than, but very similar to what a pure white " Mrs, 

 Cammell " would be, only with two flowers on a stem. 



Triandrus (Glenan's var.) ? x Albicans $ and also with wild 

 Pyrenean Moschatus $. — This was a potful of plants from 

 seed, some being little, if at all, removed from Triandrus, but 

 amongst them were three lovely plants very similar to the one 

 last described, but a trifle smaller. 



Empress ? x Triandrus $ . — A lovely pale straw-coloured 

 " Johnstoni " with two flowers on a stem. 



There were also some beautiful seedlings from Horsfieldi, and 

 a quantity of more or less white hybrid trumpet Daffodils, the 

 result of crossing early yellow trumpets with pollen of Cernuus.
