The season was an unusually early one and normal 
differences in blooming periods were wiped out in many 
instances. However the DAFFODIL MART had a fine lot 
of blooms and I believe their bulbs will be even better this 
year than ever. 
THE TRUMPETS 
The best of the yellow trumpets (la), as I saw them 
are as follows, named in order of preference; KINGS- 
COURT, MILANION, GRAPEFRUIT, DUNGIVEN IRISH 
LUCK, GOLDDNGGER, GOLDEN RIOT, LORD NELSON, 
GOLDEN MARVEL, VIRGINIA WRIGHT, PEKING, 
DOUMER and CASTLEREACH. But the following turned 
in good scores and are well worth growing; DAWSON CITY, 
MOONGLOW, GARRON, GOLDEN HARVEST, HUNTER’S 
MOON, LAUSANNE, MULATTO, PEER GYNT, PRINCI- 
PAL, ROYALIST, TINTORETTO, JOSEPH McLEOD and 
LORD WELLINGTON. 
The bi-color trumpets (lb) show considerable im- 
provement as the years go by and this year there were 
some extremely fine ones in this class, presented as above 
in order of preference; PREAMBLE, TROUSSEAU, CON- 
TENT, SPITZBERGEN, OKLAHOMA, PATRIA and 
STRAIGHT. However some other items were almost as 
good, namely; EFFECTIVE, FORESIGHT, RATHKENNY, 
PAUL BUNYON, PRES. LEBRUN, VAN WERELD’S 
FAVORITE, and that persistant garden decorative, MUSIC 
HALL. 
The white trumpets, (1c) have also shown great 
improvement, not only in form but in vigor and ease of 
growth. I was especially struck with: CANTATRICE, 
BROUGHSHANE, MAIVEROE, TAIN WHITE TARTAR, 
CHASTITY, WHITE MONARCH and SILVER WEDDING. 
Then of course, these whites were very much in evidence; 
SAMITE, MORAY, SCAPA, HIGH SIERRA, KANCHEN- 
JUNGA, BERGEN, BEERSHEBA and ARDELINIS, and won 
both prizes and friends. 
LARGE CUPPED 
Beginning with the self yellows, (2a) in the old 
incomp class the stars in the order named as follows; 
GALWAY, GOLDEN TORCH, VELVETEEN, CROCUS, 
TRENOON, SLIGO, TASHKEND, SIBOLA, BRENT, and 
ST. EGWIN. Then there are some fine flowers among: AD- 
VENTURE, CARLTON, HAVELOCK, MAKASSAR, SHAN- 
GHAI, and GOLDEN TRIOMPHATOR. 
The gold and red (2a) group is today one of the 
most populous and most difficult to rate. The best (and what 
a best) are as follows; CEYLON, ROYAL MAIL, TINKER, 
GARLAND, SUN CHARIOT, DUNKELD, ARMADA, PA- 
THAN, CALIFORNIA GOLD, TAMINO, KRAKATOA, 
ROSSLARE, ALEMEIN, RAMILLES, ARANJUEZ, INDIAN 
SUMMER, GALCADOR and SOMALI. Then of course one 
could have a field day with the following; CARBINEER, 
LEPRECHAUN, FORTUNE, RED RIBAND, REYNOLDS- 
TOWN, TOCATTA, ROYAL WINDSOR, MENDEL, HONG 
KONG, ANNY VIRGINIA, RED GOBLET, SALTASH and 
ROUGE, all of which were in fine form in the fields at 
Gloucester. 
The white and yellow cups (2b) are a group we will 
touch first giving aur choice as follows; GREEN ISLAND, 
BIZERTA, GREETING, BREAD and CHEESE, BRUNS- 
WICK, PENWITH, CLEENA, POLINDRA, MARIE LOUISE, 
PENVOSE, JULES VERNE, FOYLE and DAISY SCHAF- 
FER. Then of course such items as; BODILLY, E. H. 
WILSON, BERTIE MILLAR, GRATIA, MILK AND 
CREAM, TUNIS, ROYAL CROWN and the newer SELF- 
BACKHILL and the huge VIOTTA are very capable of 
stealing the show and often do. 
The white and red (2b) group contains some of 
(21)
