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.

Narcissus Matthew Arnold. 
This is a particularly beautiful Poeticus variety, of medium size, 
but with broad, solid white segments, that make up a flower of the 
highest florist’s type. The cup or crown is brilliant crimson. A.M., 
R.H.S., April 19th. Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidderminster. 
“THE GARDEN,” April 30th, 1910. 
Narcissus Poeticus Matthew Arnold. 
A novelty in the Poeticus section of decided merit, the flowers not 
merely possessing a perfectly circular outline, but rare substance in 
the well overlapping perianth segments. The eye or crown is of 
intense colouring. From Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, Kidder- 
minster. Award of Merit. 
“THE GARDEN,” May 7th, 1910. 
Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin were evidently keeping all their 
best things up their sleeve until Birmingham ; but for all that they 
had some very fine things — Bert Sands, a giant bicolor incomparabilis 
like a rounded off Lady M. Boscawen ; King Cup, the lovely rival to 
Homespun ; White Cloud, one of the absolutely pure white triandrus 
hybrids ; and Goldfinch, a grand deep yellow Magni. An interesting 
little hybrid which most people would pass by unnoticed was one 
that looked like a miniature Katherine Spurrell. It is the result of 
crossing Minnie Ilume with a Jonquil, and is remarkable for having 
the Jonquil scent transmitted to it.
