Leedsii Narcissus. 
Division 4: Perianth white, cup white, or pale citron, sometimes tinged with pink or 
apricot. per^lOO 
DAISY SCHAFFER (De Graaff 1925)—One of the best of the re¬ 
markable new Giant Leedsii type; the flower 4 y 2 inches across, with 
cup nearly 2 inches resembles a Giant Trumpet, but much more 
graceful in form; perianth pure white, with cup opening primrose 
and turning to light canary-yellow, deeper at the base; long, lemon- 
yellow stigma and styles add to the color harmony of this remark¬ 
able flower; undoubtedly a leader for years to come, A. M. 1925, 
F. C. C. 1929, F. C. C. (R. H. S.) 1933. 32.00 
DELAWARE (De Graaff 1927)—Somewhat similar to Daisy Schaffer, 
but smaller throughout, and if possible even more gracefully formed; 
strong grower and very free-flowering; cup opens a golden quince 
color, changing to creamy lemon, exceptionally deeply crinkled; a 
splendid flower. 1.00 
GERTIE MILLAR (De Graaff 1927)—Wonderful flower of the new 
Giant Leedsii type with pure white perianth similar to and as large 
as Van Waveren’s Giant, with a beautifully proportioned pale 
primrose cup deeply fluted and frilled and of translucent texture; 
unusually long pistils and anthers match these colors perfectly; a 
most handsome flower, A. M. 1930. 
GRAND CANYON (De Graaff 1927)—Splendid representative of the 
new type of Giant Leedsii, which might well be termed “cactus" 
narcissi; the extremely long petals of the perianth are gracefully 
twisted forming a remarkable artistic star-shaped flower of great 
size; the straight cup opens pale lemon but changes to pale primrose 
and finally to cream white, the exact shade of the perianth; a 
wonderful flower for the large rock garden and to plant in groups 
against evergreens. 
HERA (De Graaff 1914)—Broad-petaled creamy white perianth, star¬ 
shaped and deeply frilled cup of creamy white with a dainty edging 
of light primrose; one of the most chastely beautiful of all daffodils, 
A. M. 1915. 
LORD KITCHENER (Backhouse 1905)—Fine star-shaped white 
perianth; canary-yellow cup, nicely frilled, A. M. 1905. 
LOUIS CAPET (De Graaff 1927)—A dainty little flower of perfect 
conformation from whatever angle viewed; poised on tiptoe ready 
for a dance at the slightest breath of air; perianth white; trumpet 
light primrose, with golden anthers, and pale green shading to gold; 
foliage clean and upright, not too heavy; an ideal narcissus for 
naturalizing and for the rock garden; there is a mistaken idea that 
only low-priced varieties should be utilized for naturalizing; half a 
dozen bulbs of such new varieties as this one make an immediate 
show and will increase rapidly. 
MRS. NETTE O’MELVENY (Backhouse 1928)— Surely the “little 
people” must have been abroad frolicking in the moonlight when 
this fairy flower was born; a dancing daffodil with pure white peri¬ 
anth and cup of clear lemon-yellow, with orange picotee; splendid 
foliage, tall, graceful stem, and good neck; in every way a delightful 
flower and sure to become immensely popular.
