few years and probably the finest new daffodil 
introduced since Fortune, which was one of its 
parents, appeared twenty-five years ago. On the 
few occasions that it has been exhibited it has 
created a sensation. An immense f!ower with 
broad overlapping deep golden yellow perianth 
of fine substance and quality; the very widely 
expanded cup is bright flaming orange-red, beau- 
tifully flanged at the mouth. Flowers are short- 
necked, well posed on strong, stiff stems; fine 
robust plant; flowers and increases very freely. 
PEMat 45 .C.C. 1943. each, $4.00 
LADY DIANA MANNERS (Back.) 1925——-Creamy 
white perianth, large red cup, flowers finest 
shape and tall stems. A.M. 1925. per 100, $10.00 
LADY KESTEVEN (Backhouse-de Graaff) 1933 — 
This is undoubtedly one of the very finest Barriis 
introduced by us. Words fail to describe this 
wonderful daffodil adequately. Suffice it to say 
that the perianth is pure white, well formed and 
substantial and that the cup is of the very deep- 
est red ever seen ina daffodil. We are proud of 
the fact that we can introduce this beautiful 
daffodil to the United States, and though as yet 
it is too expensive to be forced for shows, we 
hope in a few years to be able to distribute it 
more freely. We believe that this is one of the 
most promising Barriis for hybridizing purposes, 
especially since the color does not seem to fade 
in the sun. A.M.H. 1931. per 100, $16.00 
LADY LILFORD (Back.) 1927—Very striking 
flower with a broad overlapping white perianth
