EXAMPLE OF A FLOWER IN GROUP II. 
The varieties of this group are hybrids, excepting Triandrus 
and Juncifolius, whicli are species. Incomparabilis and Barrii 
are the result of garden crosses between yellow Trumpet Daffodils 
and Narcissus Poelicus; Leedsii^ a garden cross between White 
Trumpet Daffodils and Poeticus ; Nelsoniy the result of a Trumpet 
Picolor var. crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi.^ a natural cross 
between Abscissus and Variiformis (Trumpet Daffodils) and 
Poeticus ; MacUaiiy an ancient hybrid, origin unknown, but it 
may be a cross betw'ecn a Trumpet Bicolor and a Tazetta or 
Polyanthus Narcissus; OdoritSy 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 a 7 ‘e all of eUgaut beauty y 
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). 
The varieties ^narked thus * are uot suitable for alt atllivoted 
borderSy but thrive best under the sluide of deciduous trees 
such as fruit treeSy etc.y or naturalised in grass in shady 
nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north or north-west. 
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 
heels 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.
