DESCRIPTION. 
The Rising Sun (Welchman) A glorious flower, opening 
about the same time as Golden Spur, and lasting fully 
three weeks upon the plant. The outstanding feature 
of the flower lies in the exquisitely-formed trumpet, 
which is finely recurved and frilled, and gashed at the 
rim. The broad, overlapping, pointed perianth seg- 
ments are of great substance and of perfect form ; the 
whole flower being well-proportioned and of large size. 
The plant is vigorous, possesses a sound, healthy con- 
stitution, seeds freely, and is remarkably effective as a 
pollen parent. Unanimous A.M., R.II.S., April 3rd, 
1906; A.M., Cornwall Daffodil Society, 1908; A.M., 
Glamorgan Daffodil Society, 1908 ; First Prize, 
Birmingham, 1908. The Gardeners' Chronicle of 
April 7th, 1906, voices the general opinion of all those 
who saw this magnificent flower : “ This is one of the 
very best formed Trumpet Daffodils, as regular and 
symmetrical as any florist could desire. The trumpet 
is expanded at the apex, and very much frilled, and the 
colour of perianth and trumpet is of the richest yellow.”

Santa Maria A wild Spanish Daffodil of great beauty. Very 
rich deep orange yellow. Perianth elegantly twisted. 
Sir Francis Drake (Kendall) A large and bold flower in the 
way of Emperor, but considerably earlier, and rather 
deeper in colour. Plant vigorous, bearing flower stems 
'll inches long. Grand for Exhibition, and a fine garden 
plant. A.M., R.H.S., April 8th, 1902. Strongly recom- 
mended. E. 3 for 21/- 
Sol (Engleheart) A large flower with firm, well set perianth 
of soft pale yellow and a very long crown of deep, rich 
yellow. An excellent grower, with broad, dark green 
foliage. The few seedlings from this variety that we 
have seen, have confirmed our impression of its great 
value. Rather late, but a good seeder and reliable 
pollen flower. Stock limited. V.L. 
Van Waveren’s (iiant (Van Waveren) A gigantic flower of 
Emperor type ; perianth primrose, and of rather cam- 
panulate form, bright yellow trumpet, with very large 
open mouth, flanged at brim. Grows nearly 3 feet 
high, and has leaves like a flag Iris. The forerunner of 
the coming race of giant Trumpet Daffodils. A reliable 
seeder and good pollen plant ; indispensable to every 
hybridist who wants to get size into his trumpets.
