Group 1 1.— Medio-Coronati. 
INCOMI’ARABILIS LUCIFER. 
( Example of a Flower in Group II.) 
Chalice-Cupped Daffodils or Star Narcissi, Etc. 
(Queltia, Phii.ogyne, Ganymedes, Etc., of Salisbury, 
Haworth, and Herbert; Peerless, Nonsuch, Etc., 
of Parkinson.) 
The varieties of this group are hybrids, excepting Triandrus and 
Juncifolius, which are species. fnco?nparabilis and Barrii are the 
result of garden crosses between yellow Trumpet Daffodils and 
Narcissus Poeticus; Leedsii , a garden cross between White Trumpet 
Daffodils and Poeticus; Nelsoni , the result of a Trumpet Bicolor var. 
crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi , a natural cross between Abscissus 
and Variiformis (Trumpet Daffodils) and Poeticus; Macleaii , an ancient 
hybrid, origin unknown, but it may be a cross between a Trumpet 
Bicolor and a Tazetta or Polyanthus Narcissus ; Odorus, an ancient 
hybrid between a Trumpet Daffodil and Narcissus Jonquilla. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and 
furnish a succession till May. They 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 (see page 4). 
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-plants, 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 dor., each.
