THE NONSUCH OR CHALICE-CUP SHAPED OR MOCK-DAFFODILS. 
>3 
Poeticus and Cemuus or Albicans, gave the varieties of Leedsii, “the Eucharis-like Daffodil,” which has the 
perianth white, and the crown white, or primrose, Poeticus, or perhaps Tazetta, and Bicolor would give 
Nelsoni, Backhousci, and Tridymus. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and furnish a succession till May. They are 
all of great beauty, and as cut flowers are extensively used for furnishing vases and table bouquets. 
All the varieties enumerated In Group II. are prized for pot-culture flowering under glass with 
the Hyacinth, and should be cultivated in the same way, three to five bulbs In a 6-inch pot. The cut 
flowers In this group are much In demand for bouquets and vases. General cultural directions, page 9.
