Narcissi Recently Certificated by the Midland 
Daffodil Society. 
April I6th. 
arcissus Rev. Charles Digby 
^ The above is one of the hybrids of N. triandrus with one 
c the trumpet Daffodils, resulting in a form which is prac- 
cally a variety of N. Johnstoni. The segments are white and 
igMy imbricate at the base. The trumpet is revolute at 
ie rim and lemon yellow. 
. Cecil Rhodes. 
This also is a form of N. Johnstoni, produced by artificial 
ybridisation. The segments are spreading, very broad, and 
ear lemon yellow. The trumpet is snipped or truncate at 
the apex and a shade darker lemon than the segments. The 
whole flower is very large, and therefore constitutes the finest 
form of N. Johnstoni we have seen, whether wild or of garden 
origin. 
N. Corydon. 
The ovate, imbricate segments are creamy-white in, this 
instance, and the bell-shaped chalice is lemon. It is evidently 
a hybrid form, but would go under N. Leedsii. 
N. Moonstone. 
Here again we have a form of N. Leedsii with white, 
slightly reflexed segments. The chalice is bell-shaped and 
white. 
N. Ducat. 
Here we have a. trumpet Daffodil of moderate dimensions and 
the same sprightly grace as the form named Sprightly. The 
segments are ovate, imbricate, and slightly twisted, giving the 
whole flower a graceful effect. The trumpet is wide open at 
the mouth, and yellow like the segments. 
N. Lemon Queen. 
In this instance the variety may be described as a form of 
N. incomparabilis. The segments are of large size, imbricate 
Borecole Alrino on the right, w(See p. 379.)| 
for about half their length, and lemon yellow, while the chalice 
is golden yellow. 
The above six were exhibited by Miss Willmott, Warley 
Place, Great Warley, and each received an Award of Merit. 
N. Loveliness. 
In shape the above trumpet Daffodil may be compared to 
Mme. de Graaff, than which it is somewhat smaller, but pure 
white and of surpassing beauty. The parentage was Mme. de 
Graaff x Empress. 
N. Francisca. 
This is similar to- Loveliness in its purity, but the trumpet 
is somewhat shorter owing to its being widely revolute at the 
mouth. It is finely and beautifully embossed on the surface. 
The parentage was Mme. de Graaff x cernuus. 
N. Cleopatra. 
The flowers of this trumpet Daffodil are of huge size, and in 
colour very much resemble Emperor, but a much finer thing.
