THE BEST DOZEN DAFFODILS
Recently at the R.H.S. Old Hall, iu Vincent Square, Westminster, a discussion took place as to the ‘ Best Dozen Daffodils.’ The discussion was opened by the well-known daffodil raiser, Mr P. D.fWilliams. Mr Williams said that in selecting what he considered to be the best dozen daffodils he had chosen only varieties which were vigorous and had increased to such an extent that it was obvious that they had good constitutions. He had also endeavoured to make his list representative of the different types of daffodils and to select varieties winch were suitable not only for exhibition, but also for garden decoration and cutting. His selection was Beersheba, Beryl, Dawsuh City. Fi retail. Fortune. Glorious. Havelock, King Alfred, Mitylene, Sarchedon. Trevifbian, and Tunis. Mr W. B Cranfield- whe followed, gave as his selection Beersheba, Croesus, Firetail, Fortune. Grenadier, King Alfred, Medusa, Mitylene, Pilgrimage. Suda, V enetia, and AA' .hi to j'.mperor.
