BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1915. 
NARCISSUS POETAZ— new hybrid polyanthus narcissi. 
New hybrids of Poeticus Ornatus x Best Forms of Polyanthus Narcissi. 
A fine new race of Daffodils, resulting from a cross be- 
tween Poilictts ornatus and the finest varieties of Polyanthus 
or Bunch-flowered Narcissi, the Poeticus being the seed- 
bearing parent. The plants are tall and vigorous growers, 
bearing heads of large well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant ; 
they are much finer and more showy than the old Poly- 
anthus Narcissi, and have the advantage of being much 
hardier. In pots or the flower border they are very decorative, 
while the flowers are highly prized for cutting.
