CULTIVATION OF THE NARCISSUS IN GARDENS. 
40 
Nelsoni Mrs. Backhouse. — A more finely shaped and more lasting 
tflower than the better known ' Nelsoni Major '(4). 
True Narcissi — 
Poeticus prcECox graiidiflorus. — Rather earlier than ' Ornatiis,' and 
•quite distinct (4). 
Burbidgei Baroness Heath. — Very distinct ; yellow, with orange- 
scarlet cup (3). 
Burbidgei Model.— Ot very fine form; white, with orange-stained 
•cup (4). 
C. — Fourteen still more expensive varieties — most excellent. 
Daffodils — 
Bicolor Mrs. Walter Tl^are.— About the finest in form of all the 
Bicolors (3). 
Bicolor Victoria. — A particularly free and vigorous grower ; excep- 
tionally good under glass (3). (Fig. 2.) 
Bicolor J. B. M. Camm. — Very beautiful ; the pale lemon trumpet 
-changes gradually to white (3). 
•Star Narcissi — 
Incomparabilis Queen Soi^hia. — The fine orange-red cup gives a 
l)eautiful and very distinct appearance (3). 
Incomp. Luhvorth. — One of the very finest Star Narcissi. The con- 
trast between the pure white perianth and exceptionally vivid red cup is 
most fascinating (4). 
Incomp. Mabel Coioan. — Fine, rather late, with red margined 
■cup (4). 
Barrii Croion Prince. — One of the very best ; late-fiowering, white 
with red- stained cup (4). 
Barrii Mrs. Boiuley. — White with striking red cup ; distinct and 
beautiful (4). 
Leedsii Gem. — An elegant, drooping, white flower ; very distinct (3). 
Leedsii Duchess of Westminster. — One of the very best ; the canary, 
orange-edged cup passes off pure white (4). 
Leedsii Katharine SjnLrrell. — Another of the very best ; with broad, 
overlapping perianth ; striking dark green eye to the cup (4). 
Nelsoni Aurantius. — By far the finest of the Nelsoni group, even 
iihough in some seasons the characteristic orange of the cup is 
absent (4). 
True Narcissi — 
Burbidgei Princess Louise. — The orange-red of the cup passes off 
apricot, giving a very lovely appearance (4). 
Burbidgei Beatrice Heseltine. — The latest and best of the Burbidgei 
^roup ; most valuable for its fine form and beautiful red-edged cup as well 
as for its lateness
