Group II.— Medio-Coronati. 
Chalice-Cupped Daffodils or Star Narcissi, Etc. 
EXAMPLE OF A FLOWER IN GROUP II. 
(Queltia, Philogvne, Ganymedes, Etc., of Salisbury, 
Haworth, and Herbert; Peerless, Nonsuch, Etc., 
OF Parkinson.) 
The varieties of this group are hybrids, excepting Triandrus 
and Tuncifolius, which are species. Incomparabilis and Banii 
are the result of garden crosses between yellow Trumpet Daffodils 
and Narcissus Poeticus; Leedsii, a garden cross between White 
Trumpet Daffodils and Poeticus; Nelsoni, the result of a Trumpet 
Hicolor var. crossed with Poeticus ; Bernardi, a natural cross 
between Abscissus and Variiformis (Trumpet Daffodils) and 
Poeticus ; Macleaii, an ancient hybrid, origin unknown, but it 
may be a cross between a Trumpet Bicolor and a Tazetta or 
Polyanthus Narcissus; Odoms, an ancient hybrid between a 
Trumpet Daffodil and Narcissus Jonquilla. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, 
and furnish a success'on 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). 
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 
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 depth of colouring in the cup varies according to season. per doz. each^
