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. 
Group I.— Magni-coronatae, the Trumpet or Ajax, and the Hoop Petticoat or Corbularia Narcissus. 
CHARACTER. — Crown or trumpet as long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 
Parkinson, nearly three centuries ago, called No. 638 “Mr. Wilmer's Great Double Daffodil.” In The 
Garden, vol. i., p. 455, two Daffodil Gardens of this variety, and 560 , are described as “ surpassing apples of gold 
in baskets of silver.” Parkinson calls No. 622 the “ Prince of Daffodils.” Of the double Lent Lily, Parkinson 
states it is natural to our country ; and, from the information recorded in his Paradisia, we searched out its 
habitat, and can this season offer a few bulbs. Of the rare White Bulbocodium of Clusius, No. 610 , we have a 
good stock of strong healthy bulbs ; we also offer the scarce species, No. 519 , N. Gallicus Minor of Parkinson, 
supposed by Herbert to be the double of N. minor ; also Parkinson's " Daffodil with the dipt tube," No. 612 . 
In the succession of flowering, Cambricus, Obvallaris and Obvallaris maximus commence in February, and 
are closely followed by Telamonius, Spurius, and the dwarf-growing species, Minor and Nanus. These are 
followed by the Lent Lily, 534 , Lobularis, and the early-flowering Bicolors, viz., Horsfieldi and Empress. 
These again are followed by Lorifolius and Emperor, Maximus, Major, Rugilobus, etc. 
The Grand Trumpeters are Bicolor Horsfieldi, Empress, Emperor, Maximus, Princeps, Rugilobus, Telamonius; 
and the New Trumpet Daffodils, Bicolor Maximus, Major, Primulinus, T. B. M. Camm, Mrs. J. B. M. Camm, etc. 
The New Daffodils Humei are apparently hybrids of Ajax and Montanus; Milnerii and Cowanii appear to 
be hybrids of Minor and Cernuus ; Bicolor maximus is not so stately as Empress, but is a flower of greater 
substance, the divisions of the perianth overlapping each other; 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 ; Milnerii is the 
only Ajax of a uniform sulphur colour ; Shirley Hibberd is elegant in outline ; Backhousei is a fine hybrid, 
apparently a first cross from Bicolor, and quite distinct from any other existing form ; Iludibras is a very 
characteristic flower. per 100. per doz. per 100. per doz.
