NARCISSI, or Daffodils, are probably the most popular of spring¬ 
flowering bulbs. Blooming before the winter snows are quite for¬ 
gotten, they bring to the garden its first lavish display of color, 
spreading out their hoard of yellow beauty in response to the coax¬ 
ing of the April sun. From March until well into May the Daffodils 
are in bloom, and by a judicious selection of varieties the borders 
may be kept bright for over a month. Whether the great trumpets 
of the new monsters are handsomer than the dainty elegance of 
the small-crowned sorts must be a question of individual taste, but 
there are no Daffodils without the charm of shape or color. Its ease 
of culture makes the Daffodil the flower for every garden. 
In 1909 the Royal Horticultural Society of England adopted a 
revised classification of the Daffodils, which, as below, is followed 
in this list: 
I. TRUMPET DAFFODILS. Trumpet or crown as long as or 
longer than the perianth segments. 
Ajax Yellow. Perianth and trumpet yellow. 
Ajax Bicolor. Perianth white, trumpet yellow. 
Ajax White. Perianth and trumpet white. 
II. INCOMPARABILIS DAFFODILS. Cup or crown measur¬ 
ing from one-third to nearly equal the length of the peri¬ 
anth segments, 
III. BARRII DAFFODILS. Cup or crown measuring less than 
one-third the length of the petals. 
IV. LEEDSII DAFFODILS. Comprising all the short-cupped 
Narcissi having white perianth, and cup or crown of white, 
cream or pale primrose. 
V. TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS. 
VI. CYCLAMINEUS AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
VII. JONQUILS AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
VIII. TAZETTA AND THEIR HYBRIDS. 
Poetaz. Hybrids of Poeticus and Polyanthus. 
IX. POETICUS DAFFODILS. All with snowy white perianth 
and flattened yellow crown more or less deeply' colored 
with scarlet or crimson.
