DAFFODILS— GROUP III-PARVI-CORONATI (baker). 
The Small-crowned Daffodil or True Narcissus, which includes 
Burbidgei and Poeticus (the Purple-ringed Daffodil); Biflorus (the Primrose Peerless 
Daffodil) ; Polyanthus or many-flowered Narcissus (Hermione and Helena of 
Haworth) ; Gracilis, Schizanthes orientalis, and Sweet-smelling Jonquils. 
Distinguishing Character — Crown less than half as long as the divisions of the perianth. 
In this series, Poeticus (the purple-ringed Daffodil) is the true Narcissus; Burbidgei is a hybrid 
one remove from Poeticus, and is the connecting link between Groups II. and III. (See Coloured Plate in 
" The Garden ,” 1880.) Biflorus is Parkinson’s Primrose- Peerless. Gracilis and Tenuior are the Helena of 
Ilaworth; Jonquil, the Jonquilla of Linnaeus ; Polyanthus Narcissus, the Hermione of Haworth and Tazetta 
of Sibthorp. 
The early-flowering Poeticus varieties commence flowering in March, and the late-flowering varieties close the 
Daffodil season in June. Burbidge’s hybrids of Poeticus flower in succession from March to middle of May. 
Gracilis, Schizanthes orientalis, and the Double White Gardenia-flowered Daffodil, are among the latest 
to bloom. 
The Daffodils in this Group are graceful pot-plants for indoors, flowering with the Hyacinth, and 
should be cultivated in the same way, 3 or 6 bulbs in a 4 or 5-inch pot. The cut flowers of this section 
are greatly in demand for bouquets and vases. General cultural directions , page 4 . 
NARCISSUS BURBIDGEI. 
(Star Narcissus. ) 
Burbidge’s Hybrid Poet’s Daffodils. 
These are all light and graceful for indoors 3 to 6 in 
a pot, and elegant in beds, borders , and naturalized. 
See what grand effect Mr. William Robinson pro- 
duced with the varieties of Poeticus at Grave tye 
Manor, page 3. 
The Burbidgei Narcissi differ from N. Poeticus in 
the cup of the flower being a trifle longer ; they 
give a succession of flowers from March to 
middle of May, commencing in advance of 
Poeticus ornatus, and one after another fol- 
lowing in succession to the middle of May.
