crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi, a natural cross between Abscissus 
and Variiformis (Trumpet Daffodils) and Poeticus ; Macleaii, an ancient

The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and 
furnish a succession till May. They are all of elegant beauty, and as 
cut dowers are extensively used for furnishing vases and table bouquets. 
Eor this purpose they should be grown in quantity in boxes and

NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS. 
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTER.— Depth of crown or cup more than one-third and up to 
three-quarters the length of the perianth segments (petals). 
All these make charming pot-plants, while the cut flowers are of great value in decoration. For 
beds and borders they are very showy, and naturalised in grass few flowers are so graceful and effective. It 
is well to bear in mind that the depth of colouring in the cup varies according to season. per doz. each.
