Origin of Name

There is a question if this is the same as Nimrod?

According to The American Horticultural Society’s 1937 issue of the The American Daffodil Year Book, Guy L. Wilson’s article “Some Modern Daffodils for Garden Decoration” states: “Carlton will appeal to those who like size, though very large its soft clear yellow flowers, with their wide gracefully frilled crowns, are quite will balanced, it is a plant of immense vigor and rapid increase, making hard healthy bulbs.”
