PoBticus or Poet's narcissus 
Poeticus Narcissus is an old-fashioned type which continues to 
gain in favor each year. The flowers have a rich, spicy odor that is 
most pleasing. The perianth petals are snow-white and the small 
eye or crown is flattened, either yellow or lemon, and edged more or 
less deeply with scarlet-crimson and sometimes all scarlet. Es¬ 
teemed for cutting. Poeticus Narcissus are splendid in the open 
border or naturalized. If the plantings are divided so that some will 
be in a sunny location, others in semi-shade, and some in heavy 
shade, the flowering period will extend over several weeks.

Poeticus Narcissus, Horace 
PoGtoz or [luster Flauiered narcissus 
Unlike the large and medium trumpet Daffodils, the Poetaz class produce their well-formed, delightfully scented flowers 
in clusters of 3 to 8, on long, strong stems. The number of blooms per stem varies with the variety. Poetaz Narcissus are 
splendid for garden planting in beds, borders, edgings, groups or naturalizing; also easily forced indoors during the winter. 
Popularly known as “Cluster-Flowered" Narcissus. Highly prized for cutting.
