NARCISSUS COMMITTEE, MAY 17. 



cci 



Narcissus Committee, May 17, 1892. 

 Rev. W. Wiles in the Chair, and six members present. 



Herr Krelage, of Haarlem, sent a very distinct flower which 

 he called Semipartitus plenus. It was almost exactly like the 

 well-known double poeticus, but of a pale yellow colour. It was 

 not, however, quite so double as the poeticus usually is, but if 

 cultivation will produce greater doubleness in it, it will prove a 

 great acquisition to late flowers. 



Mr. Walter Ware brought some very lovely flowers of Bernardi 

 from collected bulbs, some of them having bright orange trumpets 

 or cups. 



Prize. 



Barfs Silver Gilt Flora Medal. 

 To the Rev. G. H. Engleheart, M.A., Appleshaw, Andover, 

 for Narcissus Golden Bell, which received a First-class Certificate 

 on April 12, and was considered to be the best English-raised 

 seedling Daffodil shown during the season of 1892. 



Books, &e., presented or purchased for the Lindley and Royal 

 Horticultural Society's Library from Jan. i to Dee. 31, 1892.
