Daffodils for the Rock Garden. 
X>OC=— < 
The growing popularity of small Daffodils suitable for Rockwork 
has led us to class together under a separate heading those which are 
comparatively easy to grow. The smallest of them require a little extra 
care and attention as to soil and position, and every bulb may not flower 
the first season, as some of the varieties are collected in Spain and 
Portugal before being fully ripened. 
If happy where planted they will soon become naturalised, and such 
species as Cyclamineus, Triandrus and Hoop Petticoat will ripen seed 
abundantly and sow themselves, as at the R.H.S. Gardens at Wisley, 
where also many interesting natural hybrids between the various species 
have made their appearance. 
On account of their earliness the position they should occupy must 
be as sheltered as possible. The Hoop Petticoats (Bulbocodium) and 
Cyclamineus prefer a damp light peaty soil. Gracilis, Queen of Spain, 
and W. P. Milner thrive well in light moist ground, deeply cultivated, 
but containing no manure. Triandrus should be grown in a fine, well 
drained gritty soil, mixed with a little peat, and partially shaded if 
possible. Minor and Minimus prefer a light loamy soil containing plenty 
of humus ; well rotted turf is the most suitable. 
Light dwarf rock plants may be allowed to carpet the bulbs, and we 
can specially recommend Hutcliinsia alpina for this purpose.
