THE HOME OF NARCISSUS CYCLAMINEUS. 
This unique Daffodil was found wild in its largest development in wet meadows. Rev. Dr. Watson, Largs, 
has (lowered it annually since its introduction ; Rev. H. Ewbank, Isle of Wight, grew it two or three 
years on rockwork, and three or four years in the flower border ; Mr. G. H. Cammell, Hathersage, has it 
happy at the foot of a rockwork, and still more flourishing naturalized in grass, where it is freely 
increasing; at Kew, Mr. Dewar reported successful culture. Dr. Foster, of Cambridge, has grown it in 
his garden (subsoil of chalk) since 1889, and each year it has improved, and is now increasing. Mr. F. W. 
Burbidge has grown it successfully since 1886 in pots, frames, out-doors against a warm house, and latterly 
bloomed it in the grass in a damp meadow. Mr. C. J. Backhouse, of Weardale, grows it successfully all 
over his garden, but on rockwork the flowers are largest. Mr. Osgood H. Mackenzie, of Poolewe, has it 
growing freely and increasing on the exposed top of a rockery. Mr. T. H. Burroughes, Stamford, has, 
since 1887, grown successfully Corbularia Citrina in milk pans sunk in the ground, filled with peat and 
kept constantly wet; we have tried this mode of culture on a large scale successfully.
