THE PEERLESS OR MOCK-DAFFODIL OR NARCISSUS. 
II 
Group II.— Medli-coronatsa, the Peerless Mock-NardsBus, or Queltla, 
Character.— C/' iWw half as long as the divisions of the perianth^ but in one or two cases three quarters as long. 
In this ^laxy of beauty Parkinson calls the yellow Incomparabilis the Great Nonsuch Daffodil, and the white 
Incomppabilis the Peerless Daffodil j this latter white variety has two double forms — one has the nectary or 
centre rich orange, and the other sulphur, with flowers as large as a full sized rose. If required for May flowering, 
these two double varieties of Incomparabilis planted in January, will in May produce blossoms as perfect as Roses. 
Odorus is Parkinson’s Lesser Nonpareil Daffodil, the varieties of which are larger forms of the graceful Jonquil, 
exceedingly valuable for vases and table bouquets. The handsome Odorus plenus is Queen Anne’s double Jonquil. 
Macleai is a miniature Bicolor. Triandrus is unsurpassed for elegance ; juncifolius and Montanus are distinct 
and beautiful. 
The New Daffodils may thus be described : Incomparabilis differ from Parkinson’s Nonsuch and Peerless in 
the great diversity of size of flower and colouration of the crown. Leedsii is a hybrief apparently of Montanus 
and Parkinson’s Peerless, very distinct and exceedingly beautiful. Nelsoni is apparently a hybrid form of Bicolor, 
and the handsomest of all the New Daffodils. Barri is evidently a second cross, and apparently a hybrid of 
Incomparabilis and Poclicus ; the flowers are all beautiful.
