Qhalice-Cups or Star Narcissi, Etc. 
(Queltia, Phii.ogynr, Ganymedes, Etc., of Sai.ishury, Haworth, and Herbert; Peerless, 
Nonsuch, Etc., of Parkinson.) 
The varieties of this group are hybrids, excepting 
Triandrusand Juncifolius, which are species. Incomparabilis 
and Barrii are the result of garden crosses betw'een yellow 
Trumpet DalTodilsand Narcissus Pocticus; a garden 
cross between White Trumpet Daffodils and Poet-icus ; 
Ne/soni\ llie result of a Trumpet Bicolor var. crossed witli 
Pocticus ; Bcritanli^ a natural cross between Abscissus and 
Variiformis {Trumpet Daffodils) and Poeticus ; Macleaii^ an 
ancient hybrid, origin unknown, but it may be a cross be- 
tween a Trumpet Bicolor and a Tazetta or Polyanthus 
Narcissus; Ot/oms, an ardent hybrid between a Trumpet 
DalTodil and Narcissus Jonquilla. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in 
March, and furnish a succession till May. Thty are all of 
elegant beauty^ and as cut flowers are extensively used for 
furnishing vases and table bouquets. For this purpose they 
should be grown in quantity in boxes and forced for early 
bloom {tee page 4). 
The varieties marked thus * are not suitable for all 
cultivated borders^ but thrive best under the shade of 
deciduous trees such as fruit treesy elc.y or naturalised 
in grass in shady nooksy or on grassy slopes facing

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-plant.s, 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.
