CC PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
was carried unanimously, that the following recommendation be 
sent to the Council : — " The Narcissus and Tulip Committee of the 
Royal Horticultural Society, realizing that Fusarium is steadily in- 
creasing among Daffodil bulbs in private and trade gardens, requests 
the Council to cause investigations to be made at Wisley with a view 
to the publication of a report dealing with the nature of the fungus 
and its attack, and, if possible, suggesting methods of combating its 
ravages." 
A charming little Daffodil raised at Oporto by Baron Soutellinho 
was exhibited. It was the result of crossing Narcissus cyclamineus 
with N. Tazetta ' Soleil d'Or/ the latter of which is rarely sufficiently 
fertile to be a parent. The flower was sent up to the Scientific 
Committee and recommended for a Botanical Certificate, which was 
subsequently granted.
