THE PEERLESS OR MOCK-DAFFODIL, OR NARCISSUS. 
Daffodils —continued. 
Trumpet Daffodils gave all the varieties of Incomparabilis ; Poeticus and Incomparabilis would give Rarrii, 
which may be described generally as smaller forms of Incomparabilis ; Poeticus and Cernuus or Albicans, gave 
the varieties of Leedsii, “ the Eucharis-like Daffodil,” which has the perianth white, and the crown white, or 
primrose. Poeticus, or perhaps Tazetta, and Bicolor would give Nelsoni, Backhousei, and Tridymus. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and furnish a succession till May. They are 
all of great beauty, and as cut flowers are extensively used for furnishing vases and table bouquets. 
£ 2 T All the varieties enumerated in Group II. are prized for pot culture under glass with the 
Hyacinth, and should be cultivated in the same way, but with three roots in a pot.
