of the Johnstoni type which he had raised from N. Horsfieldi x 

 N. triandrus ; and, in order to exemplify the probable parentage 

 of the now well-known Sir Watkin, he showed a very similar 

 flower he had produced from a yellow N. Ajax x N. poeticus. 



Naecissus Committee, May 3, 1892. 



0. E. Sckase Dickins, Esq., in the Chair, and four members 



present. 



The Rev. G. Engleheart, Appleshaw, Andover, exhibited 

 several seedling Narcissi. An instance of high colouring in the 

 corona was N. poeticus ? x N. Ajax 



N. poeticus recurvus $ x N. Ajax $ showed the white re- 

 flexed petal of the seed parent, while the corona of one flower 

 was large and lemon-yellow, and that of another was small with 

 a dark orange band. In N. Horsfieldi x N. poeticus $ , the 

 pollen parent gave no colour, but had the, effect of shortening 

 the corona. 



The effect of fertilising N. poeticus ornatus with the pollen of 

 N. p. poetarum was to deepen the colour of the corona in the 

 seed parent, and to retain the better petals and constitution of 

 the pollen parent. 



Mr. T. S. Ware, Tottenham, sent flowers of N. Telamonius 

 minor plenus, which the Committee considered to be identical 

 with the ordinary N. Telamonius. 



Messrs. Barr & Son, Covent Garden, exhibited among a 

 large collection, N. incomparabilis " Mabel Cowan " and N. i. 

 " George Nicholson," the latter having creamy petals and a yellow 

 corona. 



The Rev. S. E. Bourne, Dunstan Vicarage, Lincoln, exhibited 

 flowers of Daffodil Ellen Barr. The Rev. G. P. Haydon ex- 

 plained that he found it years ago mixed with the variety 

 Falstaff, and, being distinct, he gave it the above name. 



The Rev. C. Wolley Bod, Edge Hall, Malpas, sent flowers 

 of a hybrid which he had collected in the Pyrenees in 1886. 

 The sepals were creamy white and the corona deep orange- 

 yellow. It was provisionally named Philip Hert.
