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. forming a double triangle, 108 mm wide; perianth segments broadly ovate, light greenish yellow 5D, slightly reflexed, ribbed, overlapping half; the inner segments narrower, with margins wavy; corona cylindrical, slightly ribbed, opening pale chrome yellow, becoming vivid yellow 12A, with rim widely flanged and deeply lobed and crenate. 

A description according to deJager’s 1960 catalog: “a remarkable and distinct flower, broad white perianth of much substance standing at right angles to the well flanged neat rather trumpet-like crown, which opens pale chrome-yellow soon passing to a pleasing buff, tall strong stem and deep bluish-green foliage.”
