Division VIll - Tazetta Narcissi 
(Comprising the former Poetaz Narcissi (Bunch-flowered Group) 
Distinguishing chara cters: Characteristics of any of the Narcissus Tazetta group clearly 
evident 
A beautiful race of Narcissi, tall vigorous growers, the individual flowers, which are 
produced in a bunch, resemble those of a Poeticus and are delightfully perfumed. They 
were raised by crossing Poeticus Ornatus and Narcissi Polyanthus, the former being 
the seed parent. They are perfectly hardy and may be left undisturbed in the garden 
for years. We can also strongly recommend them for gentle forcing. 
Admiration (22), a splendid showy variety with several flowers on a stem, perianth 
pale yellow, cup orange heavily edged scarlet. $ 1.40 per doz.; $ 10.00 per 100 
Cheerfulness, (Double) (19), a double form of Elvira, creamy-white perianth with a 
full double centre of pale yellow, very distinct and decorative, strong grower.
