DAFFODILS .-GROUP II.-MEDIO CORONATI. (BAKER). 
Queltia, Pkilogyne, Ganymedes, etc., of Salisbury, Hawortli. and Herbert; Peerless, 
Nonsuch, Chalice-Shaped Crown, etc., of Parkinson. 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or cup half as long as the divisions of the perianth ; but in one or 
two cases three-quarters as long. 
The light elegant varieties in this group are hybrids, excepting Triandrus, Odorus, and Juncifolius, which 
are species. Incomparabilis is found wild in France, but Herbert, Leeds, and Backhouse produced it by 
crossing Poeticus with a Trumpet Daffodil. Macleaii (Panza bicolor of Salisbury) is considered to be a hybrid 
between a Tazetta and a Trumpet Daffodil. Although we have no positive data as to the parentage of all the 
new hybrids and varieties described in this group, we think it may fairly be assumed that Poeticus and the 
Trumpet Daffodils gave all the varieties of Incomparabilis ; Poeticus and Incomparabilis would give Barrii, 
which may be described as shorter cupped forms of Incomparabilis ; Poeticus and Cernuus, or Albicans, gave 
the varieties of Leedsii, “ the Eucharis-like Daffodil,” which has the perianth white, and the crown white, or 
primrose. Mr. Baker however suggests as the parent of Leedsii, Montanus and Poeticus : those who at present 
are hybridizing Narcissi will perhaps settle this point. Humei, Mr. Baker suggests as a hybrid of Montanus 
and Incomparabilis. Poeticus and Bicolor would give Nelsoni, Backhousei, and Sabini. Bemardii we know to 
be a hybrid between Poeticus and Variiformis, Mr, Barr having collected it from amongst these two species. 
Tridymus, we think, is a hybrid between a Tazetta and a Trumpet Daffodil. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and furnish a succession till May. They are 
all of great elegance and beauty, and, as cut flowers, are extensively used for furnishing vases and table bouquets. 
£ 5 T All the varieties enumerated in Group II. are prized for pot-culture, flowering under glass 
with the Hyacinth, and should be cultivated the same way, 3 or 6 large bulbs in a 5 -inch pot ; 
Narcissi which produce small bulbs, such as Triandrus and Juncifolius, 6 to 12 bulbs to a 5 -inch pot. 
The cut flowers of thi3 Group are much in demand for bouquets and vases. General cultural directions , p. 24. 
g£T The Daffodils enumerated in this list are all popular fine sorts, and inexpensive. Our fuller collection, 
containing the new sorts up to 1892, is published separately, and may be had free 011 application. All Daffodil 
amateurs should send for a copy. 
NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS. 
{Star Narcissus.) 
Nonsuch, Peerless, and Chalice- cupped

All the varieties of Incomparabilis are exceedingly 
decorative when cultivated in pots, and are extensively 
used for this purpose, 3 or 5 bulbs in a $-inch pot. 
For beds and borders very decorative , naturalized in 
grass very effective. See what Mr. William Robinson 
says of them under the name " Star Narcissus,” p. 33.
