N.B.— The Grouping of the Daffodils is intended to assist purchasers in making their own selections ; each 
group represents a distinct feature in the shape of the flower, which is fully explained in the notes. 
DAFFODIL, DAFFADILLY, DAFFADOWNDILLY, LENT LILIES, OR TRUMPET NARCISSUS. 
Group I. — Magnl-coronatae of Baker, Ajax of Haworth, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson, which includes 
Bulbocodium or Corhularla (Hoop Petticoat or Medusa's Trumpet). 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumfjft 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, the author describing 94 kinds of 
Daffodils. Haworth, in 1831, published his Narcissus Monograph as a Supplement to Sweet’s 1 Flower Garden, ’ 
and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied in his “ Amaryllidacese ” the result of a careful study of the 
genus Narcissus from living plants in English gardens. 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, 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 Narcissus. . 
1 'he Aldborough Collection of Daffodils, which we have described in our present issue, embraces many very 
fine varieties, few of which were known to Mr. Burbidge in 1875. The new Daffodils are indicated by an *. 
The Trumpet Daffodils flower in the following succession : Cambricus and Obvallaris generally commence in 
February, and are closely followed by Nanus, Minor, Spurius, the native Lent Lily ( 296 ), Lobularis, and the early- 
flowering varieties of Bicolors, viz., Horsfieldi, Empress, etc. These again are followed by Lorifolius, Lorifolius 
Emperor, Maximus, Major, Rugilobus, Bicolor, Bicolor maximus, Bicolor primulinus, Princeps, etc. 
The Grand Trumpeters include all the varieties of Bicolor, Lorifolius Emperor, Maximus, Major, Princeps, 
Rugilobus, Spurius, Telamonius, etc., also all the other new large Trumpet Daffodils, except Hutnei, Exquisite, 
and William Goldring, these three remarkable hybrids have the divisions of the perianth overlapping the 
trumpet, thus indicating in this cross a touch of Montanus ; Bicolor primulinus, Bicolor J. B. M. Camm and 
Mrs. J. B. M. Camm are very distinct and beautiful ; Cernuus pulcher is a beautiful white Ajax ; Shirley Hibberd 
is elegant in outline; Hudibras is a very characteristic flower; John Nelson is the noblest flower in the 
group. per doz. each.
