Special Class:
ADS Historics

The ADS defines a Historic Daffodil as any cultivar formally registered with the Royal Horticultural Society or known in gardens prior to 1940.

The year 1939 at the end of this period, marked the beginning of World War II, a time during which fewer new daffodil cultivars were either created or made available, especially in Europe.

The ADS believes this class will interest a segment of exhibitors and may encourage bulb growers to keep these pre-war era cultivars available.

Because Historic daffodils tend to have less form than modern daffodils, they mmay be exhibited in special classes to compete against others iths same class.

Comments

Fl. 79 mm wide; perianth segments buttercup yellow, slightly reflexed; corona funnel-shaped, bright golden orange.

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: “Orange Glory is a smallish border plant of exceptional charm; it has elegant slightly reflexed golden perianth and rich orange gold trumpet; it is perfectly hardy and free flowering and makes a most attractive group.”
