NARCISSUS BURBIDGEI. 
Hybrid Poet’s Narcissi, or Doily-Cup Daffodils, 
These with their light and graceful habit and beautiful blossoms 
are much valued as pot plants (3 to 6 in a pot), and for vases, bouquets, 
and buttonholes ; in beds and borders they are specially attractive, while 
naturalised in grass few plants are so beautiful. 
The Burbidgei Narcissi differ from N, PoUlicus in the cup of the 
flower being generally a trifle longer and not so flat ; the early 
forms commence flowering before Poeticus ornatus, and continue 
flowering in succession, one variety after another, from March to 
the middle of May.
