NARCISSI OR DAFFODILS 
Correct daffodil nomenclature 
Many of our gardening friends think that all yellow varieties are known as ''Daffodils 
or Jonquils" and the white varieties as ''Narcissus.'' They are all correctly expressed 
by the botanical term of ''Narcissus'’ or the English common name of ''Daffodil."’ 
The name DAFFODIL shall be considered synonymous with NARCISSUS and in- 
cludes all varieties, hybrids and species classified in accordance with the eleven divi- 
sions recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society of England. 
The eleven divisions are as follows:—
