PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Nakcissus Committee, April 11, 1893. 



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

 present. 



Awards Recommended :— 



Silver Gilt Banksian Medal. 



To Messrs. Barr & Son, Covent Garden, for a collection of 

 Daffodils. 



To Mr. T. S. Ware, Hale Farm, Tottenham, for a collection 

 of Daffodils.

 and a very passable perianth, and would probably make a good 

 market flower. The Committee would like to see it another year 

 with a name attached. 



Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, of Chelsea, sent seventeen new 

 hybrids, nine of which were of the Tridymus type, being crosses 

 with Tazetta varieties, viz. : — 



1 . Charles Dickens 2 x Golden Spur $ . 



2. Apollo $ x SirWatkin «?.
