In 2011, the American Daffodil Society (ADS) designated a new exhibition section for any daffodil registered between 1940 and 1969, inclusive named "Classics".

The ADS believed that such a section would interest a different segment of exhibitors and might encourage bulb growers to keep these post-war era cultivars available.

The ADS Historic daffodil period ended shortly after World War II started, when marketing and exporting of daffodils temporarily ceased.

When trade resumed, daffodils were different, improvements in form were most noticeable.

None
Comments

According to Jan deGraaff’s Record book of the 1951 descriptions of flowers then being grown at Oregon Bulb Farm: “4 ½ inch diameter; Pure white, lapping segments, and waved. Trumpet flares broadly to 3 1/2″ & develops to an ivory shade. Very similar to ‘Lady Ruffles’ except where ‘Lady Ruffles’ develops a pure white trumpet almost immediately on opening, ‘Miss Ruffles’ slowly develops to an ivory trumpet. The broad mouth of the trumpet is heavily folded and ruffled. Foliage is medium wide, quite green, & erect.”

There are no photos of "Miss Ruffles" in Daffseek.
