Classification. — In the following pages we have practically adopted the 1910 
classification of the R.H.S. Narcissus Cominittee, which we hope will be of assistance to 
exhibitors of Daffodils and to amateurs who desire to make a selection of distinct types. 
As will be seen, 10 distinct divisions have been made, together with a section (Div. XI.) at 
the end to take in a few unclassed species and hybrids. With each division we have given 
its distinguishing character. 
Time of Flowering.-— The relative period of flowering of the different varieties 
out of doors we have denoted by means of numbers after the names, { 1 ) being the earliest, 
(6) being the latest. 
Height. — The heights given in inches are as recorded at our Nurseries. 
Quality of Flower. — Each season we go carefully over our Daffodil collection 
with a view to recording the quality of each variety. This we indicate by x, xx, xxx, and 
xxxx, giving the most marks to those we judge to be the finest. We trust this record 
may be found useful to amateurs in making their selections. 
Cultural Marks. — * The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of 
deciduous trees, naturalised in grass in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
t Indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots or 
for exhibition ; they are, however, in most cases also splendid border varieties. 
§ Indicates those Daffodils which, beside being fine border plants, make a pretty 
effect when naturalised in grass ; they are all strong growers and free bloomers. 
Time to Plant. — The best time to plant, to obtain the finest flowers, is early 
autumn (as early as possible), although bulbs may be put in as late as Christmas with fairly 
satisfactory results ; we have planted some Daffodils as late as the second week in February 
and had some very good blooms in May. We recommend, however, early planting for 
best results. 
Depth to Plant. — Failures with bulbs are most frequently due to their having 
been planted too deeply or too shallow. A good general rule to follow is to cover the bulb 
with soil once and a half to twice its own depth, measuring the bulb from base to shoulder. 
Thus a daffodil bulb measuring 2 inches from base to shoulder should be covered with 
3 to 4 inches of soil. 
Division L— trumpet Daffodils. 
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTER.— Trumpet or crown as i.ono as or longer than the perianth segments.
