. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 670 The American Florist. Nov. 28, narcissi will usufp the place now occu-\ pied by tulips here in the popular estima- tion. The large trumpet section includes the most showy and popular narcissi. The most majestic sorts are Horsfieldii and Emperor. Other excellent sorts are Henry Irvine (very early), Victoria, Prin- ceps, single Von Sion. spurius, obvallaris, rugilobus, Dean Herbert, Empress and Golden Spur. The white Spanish trumpet daffodil N. moschatus is very pretty. Sir Watkin, the giant Welsh daffodil, towers above all of the incomparabilis section. Barrii conspicuus is very fine and blooms late. Incomparabilis Stella, Cynosure, Queen Bess, C. J. Backhouse and Prircess May are all good. N. poeticus ornatus is the finest of the poets narcissi section. Poeticus itself will always be immensely popular, for no narcissus naturalizes more readily and thrives with less care. N. poeticus poeta- rum and grandiflorus are good varieties. N. biflorus is useful as being the latest flow- ering of all narcissi. It carries two flow- ers on a stem The Humei type is not considered reliably hardy. We have found Back- housei, Wm. Wilks and C. Wolley Dod perfectly so and their primrose perianths and deep yellow trumpets make them distinct and handsome. A class deserving of more extended cul- ture is the Leedsi section. Duchess of Bra- bant is one of the best. Other good forms are Duchess of Westminster, Mrs. Langtry and Minnie Hume. The Leedsi class naturalizes as beautifully in grass land as do the poeticus type. Double narcissi are less attractive than the single ones. Silver Phoenix is proba- bly the best. Other sorts worth growing are Orange Phoenix, alba plena odorata and the well known Von Sion. Nearly all the narcissi are suitable for natural- izing in the wild garden or in grass land, but the poeticus and Leedsi classes are the best. Jonquillas simplex, rugilobus and Cam- pernelle are hardy b
