DAFFODILS— CROUP III -PARYI-CORONATI (Baker). 
THE SMALL-CROWNED DAFFODIL or> TRUE NARCISSUS, which includes 
Burbidgei and Poeticus (the Purple-Ringed Poet’s Daffodil) ; Biflorus (the Primrose- 
Peerless Daffodil); Polyanthus or Many-Flowered Narcissus (Hermione and 
Helena of Haworth) ; Gracilis, Schizanthes Orientalis, and Sweet-Smelling 
Jonquils. 
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTER.— Crown less than half as long as the divisions of the perianth. 
In this series, Poeticus (the Poet’s Daffodil) is the flower popularly called the Narcissus ; Burbidgei 
is a hybrid between Incomparabilis and Poeticus, and is the connecting link between Groups II. and III. 
Biflorus is Parkinson’s Primrose-Peerless, a hybrid of Tazetta and Poeticus. Gracilis and Tenuior are 
the Helena of Haworth ; Jonquil the Jonquilla of Linnaeus ; Polyanthus Narcissus, the Hermione of 
Haworth and Tazetta of Sibthorp. 
The early-flowering' Poeticus varieties commence flowering in March, and the late-flowering 
varieties close the Daffodil season in June. Burbidge’S hybrids of PoetiCUS flower in succession 
from March to middle of May. Gracilis, Schizanthes orientalis, and the Double White 
Gardenia-flowered Daffodil are among the latest to bloom. The cut flowers are greatly in 
demand for bouquets, vases, and buttonholes.

NARCISSUS BURBIDGEI. 
Hybrid Poet’s Daffodils or Star Narcissi. 
These with their light-and graceful habit and beautiful blossoms are much valued as pot-plants (3 to 6 
in a pot), and for vases, bouquets, and buttonholes ; in beds and borders they are specially attractive, 
while naturalised in grass few plants are so beautiful. 
The Burbidgei Narcissi differ from N. Poeticus in the cup of the flower being a trifle longer ; the 
early forms commence flowering before Poeticus ornatus, and continue flowering in succession, one 
variety after another, from March to the middle of May.
