DOUBLE TRUMPET DAFFODILS. 
All the Double Trumpet Daffodils thrive admirably when planted in grass land and allowed 
to remain undisturbed. They are seen to great advantage when planted in clumps in per- 
manent borders, and as pot-plants they are very attractive (several bulbs in a pot).

The graceful varieties of this group are hybrids, excepting Triandrus and Juncifolius, which are species. 
Incomparabilis and Barrii are the result of garden crosses between yellow Trumpet Daffodils and Narcissus 
Poeticus ; Leedsii , a garden cross between White Trumpet Daffodils and Poeticus; Backkousei, Nelsoni 
and Macleaii, the result of a Trumpet Bicolor var. crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi, a natural cross

this purpose they should be grown in quantity in boxes and forced for early bloom {see page 4).

of deciduous trees such as fruit trees, < 5 r'c., naturalised in grass in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes
