The varieties in these assortments consist largely of the fine hybrids and varieties raised by the late- 
Mr. William Backhouse and Mr. Edward Leeds. They are all distinct one from the other, so that buyers cannot 
fail to be fully satisfied with them. Daffodils in these assortments may all be used for pot-culture or forced 
for cut fiowers, or planted in beds, in flower borders, naturalized in grass, in woodland walks, orchards, by 
streams, lakes, etc., the effect in Spring far surpassing that of any other family of plants

DAFFODILS. -GROUP I. - MAGNI-C0R0NATI (baker). 
Ajax of Salisbury, Haworth, and Herbert, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson; including 
Corbularia (Bulbocodiuin), The Hoop Petticoat, or Medusa’s Trumpet. 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumpet as long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 
The first systematic arrangement of this family is found in Parkinson’s " Paradisi in Sole Paradisus 
Terrestris, or, A Garden of All Sorts of Pleasant Flowers," published 1629. Haworth, in November, 1831, 
published the revised edition of his Narcissus Monograph, and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied in his 
“ A maryllidacece ” the result of his study of the genus Narcissus from living plants. Baker's review of the genus 
Narcissus appeared in the “ Gardeners Chronicle ,’’ 1870, and in a revised form “the review of the genus 
Narcissus to 1887,” is now embodied in “Baker’s Handbook of the Ainaryllidees,” published 1888, (price 5s.) 
Burbidge's “History and Culture," with coloured plates and descriptions of all known species and principal 
varieties of Narcissus, written in a charming style, tracing the literature of the Daffodil back to 1570, was 
published 1875 ; Mr. Barr at this date was working into form the late Messrs. William Backhouse and Edward 
Leeds’ hybrids and varieties, hence only a very few of these are mentioned in Burbidge’s book. “Ye Narcissus or 
Daffodyl,” by F. W. B. and P. B., may be considered a supplement to Mr. Burbidge’s illustrated work, as it 
brings up Daffodil lore to 1884, with a complete descriptive list of all Narcissi, ancient and modern. It is 
understood Mr. Burbidge has a New Work on the Daffodil in hand, which may be expected at no 
distant date. It would probably have appeared by this time, but so many new Narcissi are being discovered, 
and as this book is to be the great work of his life, he desires to make it as complete as Parkinson’s was in his day.
