NARCISSUS POETAZ 
A large-flowered, fra¬ 
grant hybrid of poeti- 
cus and tazetta which 
in its union of the good 
qualities of both pa¬ 
rents surpasses either, 
being sweeter than 
poeticus and hardier 
than tazetta

CAMPERNELLE JONQUIL 
(Narcissus odorus) 
Although found wild in France, Spain, and east¬ 
ward, the Campernelle is regarded as a natural 
hybrid between the True Jonquil (Narcissus 
jonquilla) and the Trumpet Daffodil (Pseudo- 
Narcissus); a fragrant and attractive hardy species, 
of which Queen Anne’s Jonquils are double forms 
THE TRUE JONQUIL 
NARCISSUS TAZETTA OR 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
This short-cupped, cluster-flowered, tender 
group (whose home is the Canary Islands, 
the Mediterranean region and parts of 
China and Japan) is chiefly used for forcing. 
A very familiar type is the Paper-white; 
Grand Soleil d'Or, a fragrant yellow with 
orange cup shown here (at right) may be 
a Jonquil hybrid 
One of the old-fashioned 
forms of the short- 
crowned group. Narcis¬ 
sus jonquilla is perfectly 
hardy as far north as New 
York though it comes 
from southern Europe 
and Algeria. Flowers 
markedly fragrant, 
leaves rush-like or terete 
and not glaucous. The 
cut flower trade errone¬ 
ously uses Jonquil to 
mean Trumpet Daffodil
