a few of the finest. Not only were the flowers exceptionally fine 
individually, but the forms represented were of exceptional value. 
It is impossible to do justice to such a display in the space at com- 
mand, but Southern Star was one of the gems, the cup deep orange. 
Goldfinch (very fine flowers), Whsrdale Perfection, Coreen (pale 
orange), Victoria and Fairy were also good. It is such groups as this 
that keep a growing interest in this beautiful flower. 
“THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE,” March 12th, 1910. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster, showed a group 
of about 60 varieties of Narcissi. The blooms were of high quality 
throughout, and representative of choice sorts. Two new kinds were 
seen in Coreen, a very regularly-shaped bloom of the “ flat-eye ” type, 
the broad ring being pale orange ; and Southern Star, having a cup 
of deep orange colour. Amongst older varieties we noticed King 
Alfred, Goldfinch (extra fine flowers), White T.ady, Orangeman, 
Sunset, Victoria, Ariadne, and Weardale Perfection (Silver-gilt 
Banksian Medal). 
“THE GARDENER,” April 16th, 1910. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin again put up one of those exhibits 
of theirs in which good taste in arrangement is so noteworthy. Good 
new things comprised Scarlet Gem (Poetaz), several new doubles of 
remarkable colouring, and a few quite new seedlings, of which Target 
(Princess Mary — Chaucer), and Sailor, a fine hybrid from Minnie 
Ilume, and Stella superba, were of the best. Silver Flora Medal. 
“THE GARDEN,” April 23rd, 1910. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin had not such a large exhibit as 
usual. Their group on the 5th was mainly noticeable for two reasons. 
First, it introduced to the Daffodil public a few rough-haired gentle- 
men like Shock-headed Peter, Powder Puff, Rags and Tatters, Whirli- 
gig, and Kallikrates. They were raised by Mr. W. F. M. Copeland, 
and are some of his “ doubles.” The last-named is wholly yellow, 
while the others have a good deal of red about them, Powder Puff being 
the reddest. They are of the loose Argent type of flower. These 
loosely-put-together blooms will be of use for house decoration as a 
change from having all singles. The other feature was its lesson in 
earliness. Mr. Goodwin told me that Armorel, Sailor, Blackwell, 
Dolores, Marigold, Alice Knights, and Southern Star had all been cut 
from the open in his grounds near Kidderminster. Before leaving this 
group, I would like to draw my readers’ attention to a grand large 
yellow trumpet, Master of Balliol, and a very beautiful cupped 
variety, Ayacanora, which was a very pale yellow self, and in its 
general look featured Frank Miles. If this proves itself to have a 
good constitution, and to increase quickly, it should have a future.
