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: “Amongst self yellows a series of varieties of outstanding merit and distinction, which will be a lasting acquisition, were raised by the late P. D. Willams, of St. Keverne, Cornwall. Of these, ‘Havelock’, which gained a first class certificate at the Wisely Trials, is one of the finest daffodils ever raised. It is a very large clear yellow broad-petalled flowers, of perfect balance and proportion, very firm durable smooth texture and first class quality; the flowers are perfectly posed on very tall and strong stems that stand up to rough weather; it is a rapid increase and very free blooming and its first class alike for exhibition, market, forcing or garden decoration.”
