b 1864 d 1949

Bulla, Victoria, Australia. Prop. Glenara Daffodils; Alister Clark was a renown Victorian rose breeder of yesteryear, but was also a keen breeder of daffodils. In 1897 Clark joined a syndicate, which bought the stock of daffodil bulbs bred by Rev. G. H. Engleheart. He also bought half the stock of a bulb collection made by English Shakespearean actor, George Titheradge, who was responsible for importing so many early daffodils into Australia.

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

A description according to Travers Morrisons 1950 “Daffodils” catalog: “A very refined flower with pure white perianth and a soft clear yellow trumpet with a neatly recurved bring.”

Sometimes spelled ‘Caramel’?

There are no photos of "Carmel" in Daffseek.
