with very large perianth, but of sufficient substance to stand fairly 

 firm. 



Aivard of Merit. 



To Narcissus Ajax Hodsock's Pride (votes, unanimous), from 

 Miss Mellish, Hodsock Priory, Worksop. A yellow flower of 

 much size and substance. 



The Rev. G. H. Engleheart showed N. Poeticus Seagull, which 

 the Committee requested to see again next year. 



Messrs. Van der School, of Hillegom, Holland, sent a collec- 

 tion of seedlings ; those marked 18 and 19 were considered worthy 

 of notice, and the Committee asked^ to see them again another 

 season. 



Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, again sent a large collection 

 of seedlings similar to those sent to the last meeting. Apollo x 

 Cernuus, and Charles Dickens x Burbidgei were very beautiful, 

 and were asked to be sent again next year. 



Mr. Normand sent blooms of a yellow Ajax found growing in 

 Fifeshire amongst a number of double Telemonius. It was ex- 

 ceedingly interesting on account of its probable origin, but was 

 not considered otherwise specially noticeable. 



Narcissus Committee, April 24, 1894. 



|The Rev. G. H. Engleheart in the Chair, and four members 



present. 



The Rev. C. Wolley Dod, Edge Hall, Malpas, sent flowers of 

 N. Bernardi Philip Hurt, a very beautiful variety with pale 

 yellow perianth and brilliant orange cup. Flowering so late in 

 the season, this magnificent variety will be a great acquisition if 

 it proves of robust constitution, and the Committee requested to 

 see it again, with information on this point, next year. 



Mr. Wolley Dod also sent a number of seedlings raised from 

 Bernardi, to illustrate its tendency to revert to one or other of its 

 parents Muticus and Poeticus. 



The Rev. G. H. Engleheart exhibited a number of Poeticus 

 seedlings resulting from P. ornatus fertilised with the pollen of 

 " Poeticus of Linnaeus." The seedling flowers were of very fine 

 form.
