NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS. 
DISTIHGUISHING CHARACTER.— Crown or cup half as long as the perianth segments, but in 
one or two cases three quarters as long. 
The Chalice-Cupped Daffodils or Star Narcissi. 
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.
