GROUP I. — MAGNI-CORONATI OF BAKER. 
Ajax of Salisbury, Haworth, and Herbert, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson ; including Corbularia 
(Bulbocodium), The Hoop-Petticoat, or Medusa's Trumpet. 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumpet as long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 
The first systematic arrangement of this family is found in Parkinson's “Paradisi in Sole Paradisus 
Terrestris ; or, A Garden of All Sorts of Pleasant Flowers,” published 1629. Haworth, in November, 1831, 
published the revised edition of his Narcissus Monograph, and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied 
in his " Amaryllidaceae " the result of his study of the genus Narcissus from living plants. Raker’s review of the 
genus Narcissus appeared in tile Gardeners' Chronicle , 1870. Burbidge's " History and Culture," with coloured 
plates and descriptions of all known species and principal varieties of Narcissus, written in a charming style, 
tracing the literature of the Daffodil back to 1570, was published in 1875; Mr. Barr, at this date, was working 
into form the hybrids and varieties raised by Messrs. William Backhouse and Edward Leeds, so that only a 
very few of these arc mentioned in Burbidge's book. 1 1 Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl,” by F. W. B. and P. B., 
which embodies the transactions of the Daffodil Conference, may be considered a supplement to Mr. Burbidge’s 
illustrated work, as it brings up Daffodil lore to 1884, with a complete descriptive list of all Narcissus — ancient 
and modern. 
The Trumpet Daffodils, Group I., flower in the following succession: Pallidus Prrecox, Parkinson's 
“ Beautilul Sulphur Daffodil," from January; Cainbricus and Obvallaris from February, closely followed by 
Minimus, Nanus, Minor, Cyclamineus, Spurius, Blondin, flic English Lent Lily, the Scotch Garland Lily, the 
early -flowering varieties of Bicolor, viz., Horsfieldi, Empress, etc., which are followed by Emperor, Maximus, 
Major, Rugilobus, Bicolors — Grandis, Dean Herbert, Michael Foster, James Walker, J. B. M. Camm ; Princeps, 
and the large white trumpets. 
The Grand Trumpeters include all the large trumpet varieties of Bicolor, Emperor, Maximus, Major, 
Princeps, Rugilobus, varieties of Spurius, Blondin, Telamonius, Dean Herbert, Michael Foster, James Walker, 
the two Camms, the two Burbidges, Dr. Hogg, St. Brigid, John Nelson, Capt. Nelson, Shirley Hibberd, 
William Goldring, Cernuus nulchcr, Hudibras, Exquisite, etc. 
ssr All the Trumpet Daffodils are prized for pot-culture, flowering under glass with the Hyacinth, 
and should he cultivated in the same way, three to five bulbs in a 6-inch pot. The cut flowers of 
Daffodils are much in demand for bouquets and vases. For general cultural directions, see page 9.
