HOOP PETTICOAT AND TRUMPET DAFFODIL, OR NARCISSUS. 
GROUP I. — MAGNICORONATI OF BAKER. 
Ajar of Haworth, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson, which includes Bulbocodium or Corbularia (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 1831, published his 
Narcissus Monograph as a Supplement to Sweet’s " British F’lower Garden,” and about the same time Dean 
Herbert embodied in his ” Amaryllidacete " the result of a careful study of the genus Narcissus from living plants. 
Baker’s review of the genus Narcissus appeared in the Gardeners' Chronicle, 1870. 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 in 1873 ; Mr. Barr was at 
this date working upon ihc new hybrids and varieties, so that very few of these are mentioned in Burbidge s 
book. " Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl " maybe considered a supplement to what Mr. Burbidge had done, as it 
brings up Daffodil lore to 1884. 
The Trumpet Daffodils, Group I., flower in the following succession: Pallidus Prrncox, Parkinson's 
"Beautiful Sulphur Daffodil,” from January; Cambricus and Obvallaris from February, closely followed by 
Nanus, Minor, Spurius, Blondin, the English Lent Lily, the Scotch Garland Lily, I.obularis, the early -flowering 
varieties of Bicolor, viz., Horsfieldi, Empress, etc., which are followed by Emperor, Maximus, Major, 
Rugilobus, Bicolori, Grandis, Dean Herbert, Michael Foster, James Walker, J. B. M. Camm, and Princeps', 
Moschatus varieties, etc. 
The Grand Trumpeters include all the large trumpet varieties of Bicolor, Emperor, Maximus, Major, 
Princeps, Rugilobus, varieties of Spurius, Blondin, Tclamonius, Dean Herbert, Michael Foster, Jamcs Walker,’ 
the two Camms, Princeps, the two Burbidges, Dr. Hogg, St. Brigid, John Nelson, Capt. Nelson, Shirley 
Hibberd, William Goldring, Cernuus pulcher, Hudibras, Exquisite, etc. 
It®' All the Trumpet Daffodils are prized for pot culture, flowering under glass with the Hyacinth 
and should be cultivated in the same way, but with three roots in a pot
