NARCISSUS POETICUS. 
True White Poet’s Daffodils or Narcissi. 
The Po'eticus Narcissi or "Poet’s Daffodils ” all have snowy white perianth 
segments (petals), flattened cup cinnabar- red or edged cinnabar-red. 
Referring to the great beauty of these Poet’s Daffodils when naturalised, Mr. William Robinson 
writes : “ Four years ago I cleared a little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and vre 
grouped the Poet’s Narcissi near it, also in a little orchard that lay near, and through a grove of oaks. 
This year the whole landscape was a picture such as one might see in an Alpine valley.” 
Poeticus divides naturally into early- and /afe-flowering varieties. It is from the early section, 
especially Poeticus ornatus, that Covent Garden is supplied with forced cut flowers of the Poeticus 
from January to March. Early planting is specially recommended for these Poet’s Daffodils.
