Medium Trumpet Daffodils 
On this and the next two pages we offer a choice assortment of daffodils whose trumpets are not so long as 
the perianth segments. In this group, where the trumpet is greatly reduced in size and cupped, we refer to it as 
a “cup”; where trumpet is shortened but expanded or broadened, we call it a “crown” and where very small and 
flattened, an ‘‘eye.”” There are some particularly showy and beautiful daffodils in this group. 
The Medium Trumpet class is divided into three groups—Incomparabilis, Barri and Leedsi. These divisions 
are based mainly on the relation of the perianth to the trumpet, crown or cup; an explanation is given under each 
group as to its distinguishing characteristics. 
INCOMPARABILIS DAFFODILS 
Trumpets, crowns or cups measure from one-third to less than the length of the perianth segments. The largest red-crowned varieties 
are found in this group; they are brightest when grown in semi-shade. Showy in all garden plantings and ideal for cut flowers.

How to Grow Daffodils 
Outdoors: For best results plant bulbs as early in the fall 
as possible, 4 to 8 in. deep and 6 to 10 in. apart; the exact 
distances depend on the size of the bulb and the nature of 
the soil. In very cold locations, after the ground is frozen 
hard, cover with leaves, straw or coarse litter to a depth of 
4 to 6 in. to prevent alternate freezings and thawings. 
Indoors: Put several bulbs, about 1 in. apart (same 
variety) in a pot, barely cover the bulbs with soil, water 
thoroughly and put in coldframe or heel-in in the garden for 
8 to 10 weeks to force root development before bringing 
indoors for winter blooming. Full cultural directions on 
bags containing bulbs.
