Daffodil Section ROBERTA C. WATROUS, Editor Miniature Daffodils There is no doubt that the smaller daffodils have increased greatly in popularity in recent years. Some critics imply that admirers of the so-called miniatures like them simply because they are small, and do not apply other criteria in judging them. Although this may have been true in the past, because of the limited amount of material avail- able, a more critical attitude is in order now that more and more hybridizers are turning their attention to this type of flower. Some of us believe that miniature daffodils can be judged just as dispassionately as the larger ones, but that all the points of excellence need not and should not be the same as those used in judging larger show varieties. With the hope that readers of this Section will cooperate by reporting their opinions of the varieties with which they are familiar, a list of minia- ture daffodils has been compiled. In commenting on these varieties, let us see if we can agree on how the various standards used in judging daffodils should be applied for miniatures. First, color: In small daffodils as in larger ones we value clean whites and clear, bright yellows and reds. Delicate cream, straw, and primrose tints are also admired, and a hint of pink is wel- come. But dinginess or streaks, should not be tolerated in small flowers any more than in' large ones. Second. Sub- stance: here, too, we can follow the standards established for larger flowers. Especially to be avoided are flimsy perianths. Next, Form : It is in this characteristic that the widest departure from large-flower standards will be al- [158] lowed. The impression of smartness we get from a large flower of perfect form and balance may be enjoyed on a smaller scale, but some features not always admired in larger flowers may seem acceptable, even attractive, in very small ones—for instance reflexed perianths or narrow and twisted perianth segments. Delicacy and jaunti- ness are qualities that seem more ap- propriate to small flowers than to large ones. Stems should be strong enough to support the flower without bending. Length of stem and the relation be- tween length of stem and size of flower depend on where the flower is to be used. For plants grown in rock gar- dens or in pots for use indoors very short stems with comparatively large flowers may be desirable. For use in garden borders, for naturalizing in semi-wild conditions, or for cutting a longer stem (possibly at least three times the larger dimension of the flower or cluster) seems essential. Although a height of twelve inches is usually con- sidered the limit for miniatures this seems over-generous; perhaps a separ- ate category , of "intermediates" is needed. As for the flower, shape as well as measurements must be con- sidered : a flower with narrow re- flexed or drooping perianth does not seem as large as one whose perianth segments are wide and flat. In the list that follows the height, name of breeder, date of registration, and parentage are given, so far as avail- able.
