The
varieties listed here are too few in number to list in the main
catalogue. Some (marked
with*) are surplus from our National Collection of Alec Gray hybrids.
Stocks are small and will be available on a first come basis. Items from this
list can be added to existing autumn orders (September - November
dispatch). Please see our terms of business
for more details. We regret that there has been a
complete crop failure of N Cedric
Morris. I will try and remember to photograph more of these
delightful daffs in the spring!!
