REDUCING THE LIST OF DAFFODILS IN “YE NARCISSUS OR DAFFODIL." 17 
REDUCING THE LIST OF DAFFODILS WHICH APPEARED IX 
“ VE NARCISSUS OR DAFFODIL.” 
The first Daffodil Conference, held April ist, 1884, by the Royal Horticultural Society, elected a Daffodil 
Committee, who delegated the late Mr. Thomas Moore and our Mr. Peter Barr to draw up a list of the names 
of all Daffodils at the time in cultivation. This report was in due time presented, and the list appeared in all 
the gardening papers. On this followed a descriptive list of Daffodils with the names of the raisers who had 
originated new varieties during the present half of this century. This list appeared in the (l Florist and 
Pomologist,” and afterwards was appended to a brochure by F. W. B., entitled “Ye Narcissus or 
Daffodil,'’ and intended as a permanent record, not only of modern Daffodils, but of all that had been known 
to exist from the days of Parkinson. Since 1884 we have considerably reduced the number of these modern 
Daffodils, and the following is a list of varieties we have discarded or are otherwise non-existent. A leaflet of 
these obliterated Daffodils, specially prepared, will be supplied on application to those who possess " Ye Nar- 
cissus or Daffodil.'’ B. Backhouse , L. Leeds , Leich. Leichtlin.
