N.B. — The Daffodils are divided into Groups, to assist purchasers in making their own selections, each 
section of Daffodils represents in our Catalogue a distinct feature in the shape of the flower, and the notes 
which precede each group fully explain this. 
Group I.— Magnl-coronatse, the Trumpet or Ajax, and the Hoop Petticoat or Corbularla Narcissus. 
Character. — Crown or trumpet long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 
Parkinson, nearly three centuries ago, called No. 490 “ Mr. Wilmer's Great Double Daffodil.*’ In The 
Garden, vol. i.. p. 455, two Daffodil Gardens of this variety are described as “ surpassing apples of gold in baskets 
of silver. ” Parkinson calls No. 473 the ' ‘ Prince of Daffodils. ’’ Parkinson also describes other double varieties. Of 
the double Lent Lily, he says it is natural to our countr)'. To the present generation it was almost unknown till we 
searched out its habitat through the information recorded in Parkinson’s Paraclisia. See No. 487. The beautiful 
Double White Tmmpct Daffodil, No. 470. illustrated by Sweet, we can supply ; also a curious form of this, with 
a double row of guard petals, No. 471 Of the rare White Bulbocodium of Clusius, No. 4611 , we have fine English 
grown bulbs ; we can also offer the scarce species. No. 468, N. Gallicus Minor of Parkinson, supposed by Herbert 
to be the double of N. minor ; also Parkinson's “Daffodil with the dipt tui)e,” No. 463. 
In the succession of flowering, Obvallaris and Obvallaris maximiis commence in February, and are closely 
followed by Telamonius, and the dwarf-growing species, Minor and Nanus. These are followed by the Lent 
Lily (Pseudo-Narcissus), Lobuiaris, and the early-flowering Bicolors, viz., Horsfieldiand Empress. These again are 
followed by Lorifolius and Emperor, Maximus and Major. 
The Grand Trumpeters are Bicoior Ilorsfieldi, Empress, Emperor, Maximus, Princeps, Rugilobus, and 
Telamonius. 
The New|Daffodils Humei are apparently hybrids of Montanus : and the variety Bicolor maximus, though not 
so stately as Empress, is a flower of greater substance, with the divisions oJ the perianth overlapping each other ; 
Bicolor sulphurescens and Bicolor major are very distinct ; Cernuus pulcher is a beautiful w-hite Ajax ; Milnerii is 
the only Ajax of a uniform sulphur colour : Shirley Hibberd is unique and elegant in outline; Backhouse! is a 
fine hybrid, apparently a first cross from Bicolor, and quite distinct from any other existing form.
