Daffodil — con tin ucd. 
cases planted at a depth of 12 inches. In beds the larger flowering Daffodils are charming, and for edgings 
the dwarf growing kinds are most beautiful. In flower borders and shrubberies groups of Daffodils look 
splendid. For naturalization in woodland walks, semi-wild places, on the margins of plantations, and amongst 
grass, few hardy flowers look so natural and pleasing. 
A selection, consisting of varieties from the three groups, gives a succession of flowers from February till 
June. The Trumpet Section of Daffodils flower in succession, one variety following the other from February 
till the end of April. The Nonsuch Section of Daffodils begin flowering in March, and succeed each other till May. 
The third group of Daffodils is the Poet's Narcissus, and the Tazetta or Bunch- flowered Daffodils, these 
commence flowering early in April, and furnish a succession of flowers till June. 
All Daffodils are most elegant cut flowers in vases, and can be had in abundance at a season when other 
flowers are scarce. They also supplement and mix admirably with hot-house flowers. For three months in 
Spring cut flowers from our collection of Daffodils will be exhibited at the various Spring Shows and Fortnightly 
Meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society, also at the Spring Flower Show held at the Royal Botanic Gardens. 
Cheap Daffodils from Groups I., II., and III., to plant in Grass, Orchards, and by the side of Streams 
and Lakes.

DAPFODIL, DAFFADILLY, DAFFADOWNDILLY, LENT LILIES, OR TRUMPET NARCISSUS. 
Group I.— Magni-coronatas of Baker, Ajax of Haworth, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson, and Bulbocodium 
or Corbularia (Hoop Petticoat or Medusa s Tumpet). 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumpet 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 cf Pleasant Flowers,” published 1629, the author describing 94 kinds of 
Daffodils. Haworth, in 1831, published his Narcissus Monograph as a Supplement to Sweet’s M Flower Garden,” 
and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied in his ‘‘ AmaryllidaceaL' ” 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 Lohel alludes to the 
culture of the Narcissus. 
The 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 geneially commence in 
February, and are closely followed by Nanus, Minor, Spurius, the native Lent Lily (294), Lobularis, the early- 
flowering Bicolors Horsfieldi and Empress. These again are followed by Lorifolius and Lorifolius Emperor, 
Maximus, Major, Rugilobus, Bicolor, and Bicolor Maximus, Bicolor Primulinus, Princeps, etc. 
The Grand Trumpeters include all the varieties of Bicolor, Lorifolius Emperor, Maximus, Princeps, 
Rugilobus, Telamonius, etc., with all the other new large Trumpet Daffodils, except Humei, Exquisite, and 
William Goldring, these three remarkable hybrids have the divisions of the perianth much overlapping the 
trumpet indicating in this cross a touch of Montanus ; Bicolor primulinus, Bicolor ]. 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. per doz. each.
