BARR AND SON, 12, KING STREET, COVENT GARDEN, 1884. 
DIVISION I. — MAGNICORONATI OF BAKER. 
Ajax of Haworth, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson. 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumfet 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 
^ eS iV' S ' ol ' Garden of All Sorts of Pleasant Flowers,” published 1629, the author describing 94 kinds of 
Daffodils. Haworth, in 1831, published his Narcissus Monograph as a Supplement to Sweet’s “ Flower Garden,” 
and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied in his " Amaryllidaceae ” the result of a careful study of the 
genus Narcissus from living plants. Balter’s review of the genus Narcissus appeared in the Gardena s' Chronicle, 
1870. Burbidge's “History and Culture," with coloured plates and descriptions of all known species and 
principal varieties of Narcissus, was published 1875. Mr. Burbidge's book is written in a most charming style, 
and traces the literature of the Daffodil as far back as 1570, when Lobel alludes to the culture of the Nar- 
cissus. Very few of the new Daffodils described in this list were known to Mr. Burbidge when passing his work 
through the press, so that the time has arrived for an enlarged Edition or a supplement. 
CtViT Mr. Baker’s new arrangement in the Catalogue of Narcissus, prepared after the DafTodil Conference, 
will be more useful to the student than for general reference ; hence, while adhering closely to the principles laid 
down by Mr. Baker, wc have deviated by reducing the number of series, so that the present list is divided into 
three natural divisions, each division having its separate groups. The Monstrosities, or double flowered 
varieties, are separately arranged. 
The Trumpet Daffodils, of which Division I. consists, flower in the following succession : Pallidus Prrecox 
commences from January ; Cambricus and Obvallaris from February, and are closely followed by Nanus, Minor, 
Spurius, the native Lent Lily, Lobularis, and the early-flowering varieties of Bicolor, viz. , Horsfieldi, Empress, etc. 
These again are followed by Lorifolius Emperor, Maximus, Major, Rugilobus, Bicolors— Grar.dis, Dean Herbert, 
Michael Foster, James Walker, J. B. M. Camm, all the varieties of Moschatus, also Princeps, etc. 
The Grand Trumpeters include all the varieties of Bicolor, Lorifolius Emperor, many of the varieties of 
Moschatus, Maximus, Major, Captain Nelson, Princeps, Rugilobus, Spurius, Telamonius, and many others ; 
Exquisite, William Goldring, Nell Barry, Stansfield, Hudibras, and Wolley Dod, these are remarkable in the 
divisions of the perianth ; Cernuus, Cernuus pulcher, F. W. Burbidge, Dr. Hogg, etc., are beautiful white 
vaiieties ; Shirley Hibberd is elegant in outline ; John Nelson is the most characteristic flower in the group, 
and Rebecca Syme is the violet-scented Daffodil. 
Price is quoted to the Daffodils which are this season in commerce.

II. AJAX, OR TRUMPET. 
Pseudo-NarciEsus Varieties. 
Albus, perianth white, trumpet yellow. 
Luteus. perianth yellow, trumpet deep yellow. 
Pseudo-Narcissus Varieties— continued. 
Nelson's, perianth sulphur, tiumpet yellow, very 
early. L. 
Pallidus, perianth sulphur, trumpet yellow. 
Pseudo-narcissus (the garland or lcnt-lily), syn. 
festalis ; the English type is variable, but the 
most common has a whitish perianth and rich 
yellow trumpet. For naturalization, per 1000, 
42s.; per 100, 6s.: n^r doz. . is. 
N. Pskudo-Nabcissus. 
Very much reduced from natural size. 
SCOTICUS, perianth whitish, trumpet full yellow and 
elegantly serrated, not variable so far as our 
experience extends. For naturalization, perioco, 
63s.; per 100, 7s. 6d. ; per doz., is. 6d. 
Serkatus, perianth whitish and broad, trumpet 
deep yellow. 
Variiformis (Parkinson); our experience of this 
species is limited to the present spring ; it 
however appears variable, the perianth ranging 
from white to yellow, and the trumpet from 
sulphur to deep yellow. Reintroduced by Barr 
and Son. 
Sub-group Abscissus Varieties. 
Abscissus (muticus), variable, perianth sulphur, 
trumpet rich yellow. Mr. Baker may see his 
way to place this with lorifolius, of which 
family it is evidently a member. 
Per doz., 3s. 6d.; each, 4d. 
*Albus (the white). 
*Hexangularis (the six-angled dipt trunk Daf- 
fodil, figured in Parkinson, t. 101, fig. 5.
