NARCISSUS or DAFFODILS 
In a general way, Daffodil and Narcissus mean the same thing. Daffodil is the com¬ 
mon name and Narcissus the botanical name. Common usage among garden makers in 
this country has applied the term Daffodil to the large trumpet varieties, while the 
smaller or medium trumpet, as well as the Cluster-flowered and Poet's types, are re¬ 
ferred to as Narcissus. Botanically these are the Barrii, Incomparabilis, Leedsii, 
Poeticus, Poetaz, Polyanthus and Miniature types. There is a growing tendency, however, 
to use the name Daffodil. 
As Narcissus bloom early, last a long time, and may be had in 
so many lovely varied forms, they have few equals aS garden 
flowers. They are most desirable for naturalizing; ideal for 
cutting. 
In descriptions we refer to the trumpet and perianth. 
The trumpet is the funnel-like center, while the 
perianth consists of the petals surrounding it. In the 
medium or short cupped classes we refer to cup or 
crown, which is really a miniature trumpet. 
We are listing each class separately, offering the 
best varieties in each, and briefly describing their 
distinguishing characters, and in so doing hope it 
will help you to select the varieties you prefer.
