CULTURAL NOTES Treswithian Daffodil Farm

Camborne, Cornwall

Proprietor : Mrs. Alec Gray

Phone : Camborne 2041

FOREWORD

Those who have had my list in previous years will notice that I have made an alteration in its layout. I have removed all the sorts which, for one reason or another, are not for sale this season and placed them in alphabetical order at the end. This will, I hope, simplify things a little for my customers.

It will be noted that the prices of a few varieties, all of my own raising, have been increased very considerably. This is because my stocks have become so depleted that I am forced to try and build them up by restricting sales for a while.

At the Daffodil Competitions held at Vincent Square, West-minster, on April 3rd, 1962, our stand was awarded the R.H.S. Gold Medal. This is, I believe, the first time that a Gold Medal has ever been given to- an exhibit composed entirely of miniature daffodils.

Please place your orders early, as I have generally sold out of all but a few sorts by the end of June, and I replant all unsold bulbs during September.

I always welcome letters from other devotees of the miniature daffodil, and am very pleased to buy or exchange bulbs of the newer, or scarcer sorts.

Whilst all packing is free, I am compelled, by the much increased postage rates, to charge carriage on all orders under £3.

With the exception of the North African species, (which are best grown in a cold house), almost all the daffodils in this list are hardy, inasmuch as they will not be seriously damaged by low temperatures when grown in the open, but not all, of course, are equally free flowering or equally good doers.

N. Cyclamineus and all the European Bulbocodiums will thrive in quite damp situations ; the rest, while they will tolerate much moisture when in full growth, should be planted in well drained situations where the bulbs can be well ripened in summer The trumpet and triandrus species enjoy light shade, but the Jonquils are best in full sun.

Most ordinary soils are satisfactory, but if they are very heavy add some coarse sand, or if very light some peat or leaf-mould. Give no dung or fertiliser which will stimulate leaf growth, but if the soil is very poor some bone meal can be added with advantage. Plant the bulbs as soon as they are received, if possible, the small ones about two inches deep and the larger ones three to four inches. Leave undisturbed for several years, in fact, until they become over-crowded or seem unhealthy for any reason. Always divide before replanting.

The species with very small bulbs are unsuitable for growing in bowls in fibre, without drainage, but nearly all the other sorts listed can be grown in this manner using exactly the same cultural methods as are employed when growing the ordinary, large-flowered varieties.

Except for a few sorts, such as some of the Poeticus varieties and the Lent Lily, which are only suitable for naturalizing, all are excellent for cultivation in pots, pans, or boxes in a cold house. For the very smallest bulbs pans three inches deep are adequate, but for larger bulbs four inches is better, while for bulbs over one inch in diameter, five inches is desirable. Pots and bowls of plastic, (so long as they have drainage), are even better than those of earthenware as they are far less likely to dry out ; this is the chief cause of bulbs going " blind " and the flower buds failing to open.

The drainage hole should be covered with a crock and on this should be placed a handful of peat or small stones. The same soil recommended for outdoor planting can be used and the bulbs should be set with their noses just below the surface of the soil. A pan six inches across will accommodate from twelve to fifteen of the smallest bulbs.

TRUMPET NARCISSI

Species. 6. *ASTURIENSIS.

(minimus). The small-est daffodil. Very early. Needs protection from slugs. Asturias to Castile, and Central Portugal. 2 to 3 inches.

N. asturiensis

Home-grown bulbs, 8d. each, 7/6 per dozen. Collected bulbs, 7d. each, 6/- per dozen.

A.M. = Award of Merit. *Scented varieties. tOnly a proportion of collected bulbs will flower the first year.

N. Bulbocodium

F.C.C. = First Class Certificate.

NARCISSUS BULBOCODIUM

No. Species, etc.

1. OBESUS. Very large inflated trumpet and fleshy leaves. Yellow. Spain and Portugal. 3-4 inches. 6d. each, 5/- per dozen.

2. ROMIEUXII, A.M. Widely expanded pale yellow trumpet. Blooms about Christmas but is quite hardy. Atlas Mountains. 3 inches. 1/6 each, 14/- per dozen.

3. VULGARIS CONSPICUUS. Deep yellow, funnel-shaped corona. Increases rapidly. S.W. France, N. Spain, and Portugal. 4-6 inches. 4d. each, 3/6 per dozen.

5. MIXED BULBOCODIUMS. For long flowering season. 6/- per dozen.

7. MINOR (nanus). Like asturiensis but a little taller and more erect and a much better doer. Habitat doubtful — perhaps the Maritime Alps. 3 inches. 1/9 each, 18/- per dozen.

8. MINOR CONSPICUUS. (syn. NANUS and LOBULARIS). Yellow trumpet, pale yellow perianth. Increases very rapidly. Not known in the wild state. 5 inches. 6d. each, 5/- per dozen.

9. MINOR PUMILIS PLENUS. (syn. RIP VAN WINKLE). Quaint rather than beautiful — rather like a small dandelion. Perhaps the double of pumilis — and perhaps not ! Origin unknown. 6 inches. 10d. each, 9/- per dozen.

10. PSEUDO-NARCISSUS. The Lent Lily or Wild Daffodil of England. Pale bicolor. For naturalizing. Western Europe. 6 inches. 3/6 per dozen, 25/- per 100.

11. PSEUDO-NARCISSUS GAYI. Whitish perianth, and clear yellow trumpet. For naturalizing or massing. Not known wild. 12 inches. 4/- per dozen, 25/- per 100.

12. PSEUDO-NARCISSUS MOSCHATUS PLENUS. The Old English Double White Daffodil. Has always done well with me, but increases slowly. Origin unknown. 9 inches. 2/6 each, 25/- per dozen.

13. PSEUDO - NARCISSUS OBVALLARIS. The Tenby Daffodil. Neat bright yellow flowers on a very stiff stem. Very early. Probably a native of England. 12 inches. 7d. each, 6/- per dozen.

Poetaz, with canary-yellow perianth and orange cup. 12 inches. 9d. each, 8/- pe rdozen.

112. CHINITA. (A. M. Chapman). Not a dwarf, but to my mind one of the prettiest of the Poetaz section. Primrose cup, edged red. 18 inches. 1/6 each, 15/- per dozen.

113. EARLICHERE. (?) A remarkable Tazetta or Poetaz raised in New Zealand, I think. Dwarf, very early, with several double white flowers to the stem. 4/- each.

115. HALVOSE. (P. D. Williams), A.M. A very useful Poetaz for pots or bowls as it does not grow too tall indoors. The brick-red of the cup suffuses the yellow petals. 12 inches. 9d. each, 8/- per dozen.

116. HORS d'OUVRE. (Alec Gray). A curious little flower. N. canaliculatus x N. minor. Very, very early. Self-yellow. 4 inches. 1/6 each, 15/- per dozen.

122. PRAECOX. Perhaps of garden origin. The first Poeticus to flower. 15 inches. 1/6 each.

123. *RECURVUS. The old " Late Pheasant Eye ". One of the most powerfully scented Narcissus. Valuable for naturalizing. Not known wild. 15 to 18 inches. 6d. each, 5/- per dozen.

130. NOR-NOR. (G. L. Wilson). A 2A. Opens almost self-yellow but the petals fade to white and cup darkens to orange with age. Absolutely sun-proof, and very prolific. 9 to 12 inches. 1/3 each, 12/- per dozen.

131. PANGO. (Alec Gray). N. dubius x John Evelyn. Soft yellow. Very early. 8 inches. 3/6 each.

132. PEPPER. (J. C. Williams), A.M. Bright orange-red cup and deep yellow perianth, the earliest red-cup. 12 inches. 8d. each, 7/- per dozen.

133. SAMARIA. (Brodie). A 3A, ivory-white throughout and of wonderful texture. 15 inches. 2/6 each.
