NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS {syn. Ganymedes). 
The White Cyclamen-flowered Daffodil, with reflexing perianth. 
The dainty little “Angel’s Tears” Daffodil ( Triandrus albas ) was found by our Mr. Peter 
Birr on the mountains of Portugal and Spain, growing in very hard, firm, fine gritty soil, sometimes 
in the narrowest fissures of granite and slatestone rocks. All in this section make lovely little pot plants, 
and grown thus should he given cold frame culture. Established on rockwork they form a picture full 
of grace and beauty. They prefer shade, a gritly soil , and well-drained position. 
fAlbus (3), an exquisitely beautiful little flower, appropriately called the “Angel’s per doz. each 
Tears” Daffodil, the flowers are creamy white and are variable in size, perianth s • d- s. d 
elegantly refiexed, ht. 7 in. As we have to depend upon collected bulbs for our annual 
supply, and these have to be taken up while the foliage is still green, a proportion may 
possibly not bloom the first season. The bulbs should therefore be left undisturbed to 
establish themselves per 1000, 60/- ; per 100,6/6 1 o... —

ICalathinus (3). One of the most beautiful little Daffodils in existence. The flowers, 
which are snowy white, are more than twice the size of Triandrus a/bus, with long 
goblet-shaped crown prettily fluted, and are borne two to three on a stem ; the foliage 
has a curious twisting habit, ht. 7 in. (.S>z Illustration, page 33.) For pot culture and 
rockwork it is a perfect gem. Mr. Peter Barr collected this rare Daffodil some years 
ago on one of the Glenan Isles, the collecting being attended with a good deal of risk.
