Narcissus and Tulip Committee, April 13, 1915. 

 Mr. E. A. Bowles in the Chair, and twenty members present. 



The honorary secretary reported that the Council had adopted 

 the recommendation of the Committee respecting the Registration 

 of Daffodil names, adding " that a name so registered should hold 

 good for five years, but would be free at the end of that period unless, 

 meanwhile, the variety had been exhibited at a meeting of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society." Some discussion took place concerning the 

 time limit imposed by the Council, but eventually it was accepted 

 unanimously, and the matters of registration form, receipt, &c, were 

 left in the hands of the Chairman and Honorary Secretary. 



In accordance with the notice of motion, Mr. C. Lemesle Adams 

 and Canon Fowler brought forward the following resolution, copies 

 of which had already been sent to members of Committee : — 



"That the Classification of Daffodils be amended as follows: 

 In Division IV., the words ' embracing all dimensions as found in the 

 Incomparabilis and Barrii groups, Divisions II. and II.,' be deleted 

 and in place thereof the following be substituted : 



" (a) Cup or crown not less than one- third, but less than equal 

 to the length of the perianth segments. 



" (b) Cup or crown less than one- third the length of the perianth 

 segments." 



Upon the advice of the Chairman this was accepted as a 

 recommendation to the Classification Sub-Committee and adopted 

 unanimously.
