Narcissus and Tulip Committee, March 9, 1915. 



Rev. G. H. Engleheart, V.M.H., in the Chair, and twelve members 



present. 



On the motion of Messrs. J. Jacob and F. H. Chapman, the action 

 of the Committee on March 2, when a quorum could not be formed, 

 was endorsed. 



The Rev. J. Jacob brought forward a scheme for a uniform system 

 of measuring Daffodils for purposes of classification. This was 

 seconded by Mr. Herbert Smith, but, after some discussion, " the 

 previous question " was moved and carried. 



The Rev. J. Jacob having announced the intention of the Council 

 not to publish a " Daffodil Year Book" in 1915, Messrs. W. T. Ware 

 and R. Wallace moved, and it was unanimously agreed, that the 

 following resolution be sent to the Council : — " That this Committee 

 regrets to hear ' The Daffodil Year Book ' will not be published this 

 year, and very earnestly requests the Council to reconsider its decision, 

 and publish a Year Book as usual, even if in a modified form " (p. cxliii) . 



The subject of Registration of Daffodil names was brought forward, 

 and subsequently referred for consideration to a Sub-Committee 

 consisting of Messrs. Leak, Barr, and Jacob. 



On the motion of Messrs. J. Jacob and C. L. Adams it was agreed 

 that the lists of Daffodils suitable for special purposes be revised, and 

 that the honorary secretary prepare and send round the necessary 

 voting papers (see p. cxlvii). 



Awards Recommended : — 



Silver-gilt Banksian Medal. 

 To Mr. C. Bourne, Bletchley, for Daffodils.
