Daffodil Types 
1. TRUMPET NARCISSUS, defined 
by the specialists as a narcissus 
with a trumpet or crown, as long 
or longer than the perianth, or flat 
petals. 
2. INCOMPARABILIS, is a_nar- 
cissus, or daffodil, with a crown 
less long than the perianth by al- 
most any degree. These often ap- 
pear very like a trumpet daffodil. 
3. LEEDSII, a cross of white trum- 
pet with narcissus poeticus, with a 
cup less than half as long as the 
trumpet and with pointed petals 
to perianth. 
4. BARII, is a cross between In- 
comparabilis and the  Poeticus, 
with a slightly larger crown, usu- 
ally more frilled, and a smaller 
flower generally than previously 
named varieties. 
5. POETAZ, is a cluster narcissus, 
a cross between Poeticus and the 
many flowered Tazeitas, that are 
usually larger flowered and fewer 
to a stem than Tazettas. 
6. TAZETTAS, are also known as 
Polyanthus Narcissus and known 
often as the Chinese Sacred Lily, 
or Paper Whites. 
CYCLAMINEOUS, daffodils with 
recurved Perianth are derived from 
the wild Narcissus Triandus, orig- 
inally found in the Asturian moun- 
tains of Spain and Portugal. 
A NOTE ON DAFFODIL CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA 
The Tazettas and the Poetaz types of Narcissus, or Daffodils, as they are more 
popularly called, are as much a “‘naturai’’ for California climate as the Iris. They con- 
tinue to grow and scent the very early spring from December to March with their 
fragrance in neglected gardens where absolutely no water but that of our rainy sea- 
son may come to them. But the other varieties are easy and very rewarding with 
ordinary care and slightly deeper planting than the three to five inches customary in 
Oregon, Ireland and England, which have now become their native lands. Only Taz- 
ettas will survive a complete drying out.
