DAFFOpILS- NARC/SSUS 
CLASSIFICATION OF NARCISSUS 
The term “Narcissus” is the Latin or botani- 
cal name for this entire group and is the 
proper one to use in referring to the various 
members of it. The Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety of England has revised the classifica- 
tion of narcissus and we present that classifi- 
cation herewith. 
Since this is necessarily a transitional year 
with this classification, we will indicate the 
new divisions while retaining (for a time) 
the older familiar group names. 
DIVISION 1—TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Trumpet or crown as long or longer than 
the perianth segments. Pure whites, and 
creams; pure yellow, and bicolors. 
DIVISION 2—LARGE-CUPPED NARCISSI

than the length of the perianth segments.

DIVISION 3—SHORT-CUPPED NARCISSI
