HOOP PETTICOAT, TRUMPET, AND MOCK DAFFODIL OR NARCISSUS. 
Daffodils— continued . . . _ , , , , 
In the succession of flowering, Obvallaris and Obvallaris maximus commence in February, and are closely 
followed by Telamonius, and tlie dwarf-growing species. These in succession are followed by the Pseudo- 
Narcissus, Nobilis, Lobularis, and the early-flowering forms of Bicolor, viz., Horsfieldi and Empress. These again 
are followed by Lorifolius and Emperor, Maximus and Major. Conspicuous in the group for their great size are 
Obvallaris maximus, Emperor and Empress, their immense flowers towering aloft. But in speaking of these 
sons of Anak, we must not forget, among the dwarf species, to name the little Nanus and the lesser Minimus, 
which expand their flowers while yet freeing themselves from their winter covering of soil.

The first in this galaxy of beauty is Incoinparabilis, which stands pre-eminent. Parkinson calls it the Great 
Nonsuch Daffodil, of which there are several varieties ; the white one is Parkinson’s Peerless Daffodil, and 
it has two double forms— one with a rich orange nectary, and the other with a sulphur nectary. If the 
planting of these double varieties of Incoinparabilis is delayed till the beginning of January, they will flower in 
May, with blossoms as large and as perfect as a Rose. Next in importance is Odorus : Parkinson calls 
this the Lady Mattenesse, or Lesser Nonpareil Daffodil; its varieties, which resemble the graceful Jonquil, are 
exceedingly valuable for vases and table bouquets. The double variety of Odoms minor is a plant of rare 
beauty. MaCleai is a miniature Bicolor. Triandrus, Juncifolius, and Montanus, are distinct, very beautiful, 
and will be highly prized by those who are fond of rarities.
