The Chalice-Cupped Daffodils or Star Narcissi. 
Queltia, Philogyne, Ganymedes, Etc., of Salisbury, Haworth, and Herbert; Peerless, 
Nonsuch, Etc., of Parkinson. 
The varieties of this group are hybiids, excepting Triandrus and Juncifolius, which are species. 
Incomparabilis and Barrii are the result of garden crosses between yellow Trumpet Daffodils and Narcissus 
Poeticus ; Lecdsii, a garden cross between White Trumpet Daffodils and Poeticus ; Backhousei and Nelsoni, 
the result of a Trumpet Bicolor var. crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi, a natural cross between Abscissus 
(Trumpet Daffodil) and Poeticus ; Tridymus is a garden hybrid between a Trumpet Daffodil and a Tazetta 
or Polyanthus Narcissus ; MacUaii, a supposed cross between a Trumpet Bicolor var. crossed with a 
Tazetta or Polyanthus Narcissus; Odorus, a natural hybrid between a Trumpet Daffodil and Narcissus 
Jonquilla ; Bijloyus is the result of a natural cross between Narcissus Tazetta and Poeticus. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and furnish a succession till May. They are 
all of elegant beauty, 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 marked thus * arc not suitable for all cultivated borders, but thrive best under the shade 
of deciduous trees such as fruit trees, etc., or naturalised in grass in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes 
facing north or north-west.

DISTINGUISHING 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, p'or 
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 deptli of colouring in the cup varies according to season,
