In White Trumpets., Mrs. Ernest Crosfield should find 
a place in every good collection as it is invaluable to the 
exhibitor for its great lasting qualities, and to the hybridist from 
the fact that it always seeds. 
Conqueror is -facile princeps of the Bicolor Trumpets, 
and is worthy to rank among the twelve best Daffodils in com- 
merce. Pomp is another majestic flower that has a great future 
in front of it, both as an exhibition and garden variety. 
Great progress has been made in the Incomparabilis 
section. Helios was last season’s most notable introduction, 
and shares with Croesus the honour of being a premier flower. 
We might add that the former is especially early, and both are 
fine growers. Finespun, which was bred from King Alfred, is 
a giant flower, very early and of fine quality. For brilliancy of 
colouring none surpasses Cigar, which, curiously enough, was 
bred bv Mr. W. F. M. Copeland from a poeticus variety crossed 
with pollen of telemonius plenus. Two Bicolor Incomps, call 
for special mention, these being Pedestal, one of Mr. Crosfield’s 
best seedlings, and Neptune, which came from Mr. Copeland, 
and is a flower of remarkable durability. 
The Barrii section has been re-inforced by Flame, a 
gorgeous flower raised by Mr. F.ngleheart, and likely to take a 
most prominent position at the exhibitions of the future. Enter= 
prise also hails from Dinton and will, we feel sure, enhance the 
raiser’s already great reputation. Sulphur Eye was superb last 
season and bids fair to become a most popular flower. Creole 
is distinctly a hybridist’s flower, and its peculiar shade of pink- 
red colouring singles it out for special attention. 
The Leedsii section continues to make great progress. 
Nemesis, for which we obtained an Award of Merit at Truro 
last season is a distinct advance, and was figured in the “Journal
