DIVISION IX. POETICUS — True Poet’s Narcissi. 
These “ Poet’s” Daffodils or Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or 
petals, and a small 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. 
FOKT1CUS HERRICK. 
The earlier flowering varieties afford a very beautiful 
decoration indoors when grown in pots (5 bulbs in a pot) 
or forced. As border plants and naturalised in grass by 
themselves the Poet’s Narcissi produce a lovely effect. 
I«V Early planting and liberal culture is specially recom- 
mended for these Poet’s Daffodils. To obtain tall 
stems and fine large flowers they should be grown 
in a rich deep soil not too dry. The varieties 
having very highly coloured crowns should be cut 
young to preserve the fine colouring.
