of Horticulture” on August 22nd, 1912. Glee Maiden takes 
the place of the exquisite White Nectarine, the stock 
of which we have been persuaded to sell. Although 
introduced by us some years ago, Lemon Star stills stands 
out as a flower of great refinement, and we know that 
many good judges prefer it both to Lord Kitchener and 
Lowdham Beauty. Mrs. W. O. Wolseley is finding its way 
into all good collections, and we can strongly commend it for its 
beauty and elegance. Arnold Rogers is a fine exhibition and 
garden plant which is almost nearer the Trumpet section than 
the Leedsii. North Pole will become a highly prized garden 
plant as soon as it is plentiful and its great merits are 
recognised. Clandon, one of Mrs. Backhouse’s superb seed-

established merit. Others that must take their place in the 
gardens of the future are Hon. Mrs. Francklin and Olivia. 
The Triandrus group of Daffodils have obtained a much- 
needed strengthening by recent introductions. May Hanson 
and White Wolf are lusty growers and are faultless in size, 
substance, form, colour and finish. Trilogy was one of the few 
varieties of this section that we were able to exhibit at Birming- 
ham. It is a flower of exquisite modelling and much grace. To 
Pearl of Dew, however, pride of place must be given for its 
purity of whiteness and unique form, and no flower in the whole 
of our collection has given us more pleasure. April Morn and 
Earl Grey are both giant trumpeters of great merit and sound 
constitution. 
The Jonquil section has been neglected by the hybridist 
arid sadly needs re-inforcing, Buttercup being still the premier 
variety in commerce. Its strong constitution is a great point in 
its favour, while its colouring is of the loveliest shade of rich 
yellow imaginable. We should like to draw special attention tr
