HOOP PETTICOAT, TRUMPET, AND MOCK DAFFODIL OR NARCISSUS. 
Group I. -Magni-coronat®, the Trumpet or Ajax, and the Hoop Petticoat or Corbularia Narcissus. 
Character. — Crown or trumpet as long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 
Parkinson, nearly three centuries ago, called No. 468 "Mr. Wilmer's Great Double Daffodil." In The 
Garden vol. i.i p. 45s, two Daffodil Gardens of this variety are described as "surpassing apples of gold in baskets 
of silver." Parkinson calls No. 450 the " Prince of Daffodils." Parkinson describes other double varieties. Of the 
double Lent Lily, he says it is natural to our country. To the present generation it was almost unknown till we 
searched out its habitat through the information recorded in Parkinson's Paradisia. See No. 466. The beautiful 
Double White Trumpet Daffodil, No. 447, illustrated by Sweet, we can supply ; also a curious form of this, with 
a double row of guard petals, No. 448 Of the rare White Bulbocodium of Cluseus, No. 438, we have fine English 
grown bulbs ; we can also offer the scarce species, No. 445, N. Gallicus Minor of Parkinson, supposed by Herbert 
to be the double of N. minor ; also Parkinson's "Daffodil with the dipt tube," No. 440. 
In the succession of flowering, Obvallaris and Obvallaris maximus commence in February, and are closely 
followed by Telamonius, and the dwarf-growing species, Minor and Nanus. These are followed by the Lent 
Lily ( Pseudo-Narcissus), Nobilis, Lobularis, and the early-flowering Bicolors, viz., Horsfieldi and Empress. These 
agin are followed by Lorifolius and Emperor, Maximus and Major. 
The Grand Trumpeters are Bicolor Horsfieldi, Empress, Emperor, Maximus, Princeps, Rugilobus, and 
Telamonius.

In this galaxy of beauty Parkinson calls Incomparabilis the Great Nonsuch Daffodil ; the white one is Parkin- 
son’s Peerless Daffodil, with its two double forms— one with a rich orange nectary, the other with a sulphur 
nectary. If the planting of the double varieties of Incomparabilis is delayed till January, they will flower in 
May, the blossoms then produced being as large and as perfect as a Rose. Odorus is Parkinson s Lesser 
Nonpareil Daffodil ; its varieties are larger forms of the graceful Jonquil, and are greatly valued for furnishing vases 
and table bouquets. The double variety of Odorus is Queen Anne’s double Jonquil. Macleai is a miniature 
Bicolor. Triandrus is unsurpassed for elegance ; Juncifolius and Montanus are distinct and beautiful.
