DIVISION IX. — POETICUS— True Poet’s Narcissi. 
These “Poet's" Daffodils or Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or 
petals, and a flattened eye or crown, yellow or lemon edged more or less deeply with scarlet 
or crimson, and sometimes almost all scarlet. All are more or less sweetly scented. 
The earlier flowering varieties afford a very beautiful decoration indoors when grown in pols (5 bulbs 
in a pot) or forced, while as border plants and for naturalising in grass they are all of the greatest value. 
Referring to the great beauty of these Poet’s Daffodils when naturalised, Mr. William Robinson 
writes : “ Four years ago I cleared a little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and we 
grouped the Poet's Narcissi near it, also in a little orchard that lay near, and through a grove of oaks. 
This year the whole landscape was a picture such as one might see in an Alpine valley.” 
Early planting and liberal culture is specially recommended for these Poet’s Daffodils. 
To obtain tall stems and fine large flowers they should be grown in a rich deep sou 
not too dry. The varieties having very highly coloured crowns should be cut young 
to preserve the fine colouring. per a oz , eac h.
