Ajax of unusually good proportions ; its trumpet opens 
lemon but fades to a shade almost uniform with the 
perianth, which is composed of broad well overlapping 
petals. Whole flower 3} inches across, very refined and 
a splendid exhibition variety. First Prize Single Bloom

Duke of Bedford Opens before Horsfieldii and is twice as 
large and much more refined. Very large, broad 
perianth, pure white ; large bold trumpet of clear soft 
yellow. A striking flower of fine form and great sub- 
stance. Very free seeder. A.M., R.H.S., 1899. E. ... — 
Empress (W Backhouse ) Pure white perianth, bright yellow 
trumpet. The best all round bicolor for the garden, 
and a worthy companion to Emperor. Opens about a 
week later than Horsfieldii, and has decidedly more 
substance and lasting qualities. A good forcer. M.S. 7/- 
Felix (Jeannie Woodhouse x King Alfred) A neat and 
most exquisite bicolor Ajax of delightful shape, habit 
and colouring. Well made trumpet 1} inches deep, with 
a remarkably beautiful recurving rim, colour intense egg 
yellow. Overlapping perianth, segments of slightly 
hooded character, colour buff white flushed at base 
with the colour of the trumpet. Flower 3} inches across.

Glory ol Noordwijk ( de Groot) A magnificent flower of the 
same colouring as Empress, but twice the size, and of 
enormous growth and vigour. Of good substance and 
refinement ; trumpet well frilled and of good shape. A 
very free seeder. M.S. — 
Grandee (Leeds) The latest in this section. A flower of 
wonderful substance and lasting qualities. Pure white, 
stiff massive perianth, with flat, overlapping segments. 
Long straight yellow trumpet. Rather short in the 
stem, grand in pots. Selected Bulbs. V.L 4/-

colour and character, trumpet bright lemon yellow 
with recurving rim. A very strong grower. V.L. ... — 
Horsfieldii ( John Hors field ) Bears a close resemblance to 
Empress but is earlier, slightly dwarfer and flowers 
possess less substance. E. 5/-

and refined Daffodils. Trumpet pale yellow, fading to 
delicate straw or cream colour, and elegantly gashed at 
brim ; perianth segments delicate ivory white, standing 
out well from trumpet. An excellent grower with hand- 
some erect dark green foliage. Forces splendidly and
