Character. — Crown half as long as the divisions of the perianth , but in one or two cases three quarters as long . 
In this galaxy of beauty Parkinson calls the yellow Incomparabilis the Great Nonsuch Daffodil, and the white 
Incomparabilis the Peerless Daffodil ; the white variety has two double forms— one with the nectary or centre 
rich orange, and the other with a sulphur nectary. The flowers of both are as large as a full sized rose. If planted 
in January, these two double varieties of Incomparabilis will produce, in May, blossoms as perfect in form as a 
Rose. Odorus (Parkinson’s Lesser Nonpareil Daffodil), larger forms of the graceful Jonquil, are exceedingly 
valuable to cut for vases and table bouquets. The handsome Odorus plenus is Queen Anne’s double Jonquil. 
Macleai is a miniature Bicolor. Triandrus is unsurpassed for elegance ; Juncifolius and Montanus are distinct 
and beautiful. Schizanthes oricntalis is a beautiful late-flowering variety. 
The New Daffodils of this group may thus be described : Incomparabilis differing from Parkinson’s Nonsuch 
and Peerless in the great diversity of size of flower and colouration of the crown. Leedsii is a beautiful hybrid, 
apparently of Montanus and Parkinson’s Peerless. Nelsoni, the handsomest of all the New Daffodils, is apparently 
a hybrid form of Bicolor. Barri is evidently a second cross, and apparently a hybrid of Incomparabilis and 
Poeticus, and is the connecting link between Incomparabilis and Burbidgei.
