Now would be a good time to study the ADS Handbook and refresh before the

rush.No matter how many shows one has attended,it is easy to forget what all we have learned. Judges are always so pickey on our beautiful ,perfect flowers.The Handbook helps explain why perfection is hard to come by.

Next best. thing is reading the schedule.Really reading not just looking.

My pet peeve is all the evergreen used.The reason is to hold the stem(s) in

place so they do not move.Sometimes a large piece will rather overpower the

flower while it is loose and resting any which way. When the flower is

solid ,up where it should be for it to lookthe best,trim the greens.Be neat.

Dirty flowers are something that we ought not see on the show table.We do.

get in a hurry but judges are never in too much hurry to count that down way down.Just be careful and be easy with the brush-soft brush and cotton.

how,the best groomed,staged specimens are ready to be placed in the correct

classes.Collecticn classes will take more placing time to get the best

balance of color and sizes .Brim; on the ribbons!! Right?

This is old hat to you,i know.i was taught that being too .ramaliar makes

one careless.

Weather is doing us a dirty trick according to weatherman Helen T.A terrible

cold spring, even cold and late, follows a warm fall and winter.eaven Forbid!

Thanks for enduring my stint as V.P. again.le typewriter is my worst enemy. 1 can not even say the word computer. Shen 1 get down below,iny job be typing.You will miss my "'Unusual -Notes"- when you next recieve a neat and cor rectly made one.My f, weeding,mulching, and digging is hard to beat,tho.

See you in Dallas* Leota÷ and all the following shows.

Be on the lookout for bulbs that need to be dug out and burned.We hate to

see any evidence of something wrong.Are we to be safe or sorry?Sometimes with a spring (like 1 am expecting)of interupted growth,flowers and foliages look sick.Y.L11 they need is sunshine and even temperati]res. helen T.

The reflex Junquilia

DAFFODILS

The first of the Daffodils is that with the purple crowne r circle, having small narrow leaves, thicke, fat, and

) all of slimie juice; among the which riseth up a naked . talke smooth and hollow, of a foot high, bearing at the top a raise rnilke white floure growing forth of a hood or thin filme such as the flours of onions are wrapped in: in the midst of which floure is a round circle or small coronet of a yellowish colour, purfled or bordered about the edge of the said ring or circle with a pleasant purple colour; which being past, there followeth a thicke knob or button, wherein is contained blacke round seed. The root is white, bulbous or Onion-fashion.

The second kind of Daffodill is that sort of Narcissus or Primrose peerelesse that is most common in our country gardens, generally knowne everie where. It hath long fat and thick leaves, full of a slimie juice; among which riseth up a bare thicke stalke, hollow within and full of juice. The floure groweth at the top, of a yel-lowish white colour, with a yellow crowne or circle in the middle, and floureth in the moneth of Aprill, and

sometimes sooner. The root is bulbous fashion.

There are three or foure reflex Junquilia's, whose cups hang downe, and the six incompas-sing leaves turne up or backe, whence they take their names.

The Daffodils with purple coronets grow wilde in sundry places, chiefly in Burgondie, and in Suitzerland in medowes.

Theocritus affirmeth the Daf-fodils to grow in medowes, in his 19 Eidyl, or 20 according to some editions: where he writeth, That the faire Lady Europa entring with her Nymphs into the medowes, did gather the sweet smell-ing daffodils; in these verses:

Which we may English thus: But when the Girles were come into The medowes flouring all in sight, That Wench with these, this Wench with those Trim floures, themselves did all delight: She with the Narcisse good in sent, And she with Hyacinths content.

But it is not greatly to our purpose, particularly to seeke out their places of growing wilde, seeing we have them all & everie one of them in our London gardens, in great aboundance. The common wilde Daffodill groweth wilde in fields and sides of woods in the West parts of England.

Galen saith, That the roots of Narcissus have such wonderful) qualities in drying, that they consound and glew together very great wounds, yea and such gashes or cuts as happen about the veins, sinues, and tendons. They have also a certaine clensing facultie.

The root of Narcissus stamped with hony and applied plaister-wise, helpeth them that are burned with fire, and joineth together sinues that are cut in sunder. Being used in manner aforesaid it helpeth the great wrenches of the ancles, the aches and pains of the joints. The same applied with hony and nettle seed helpeth Sun burning. Being stamped with the meale of Darnel and hony, it draweth forth thorns and stubs out of any part of the body.

Leaves from Gerards herball by Marcus woodward.

This was from The herball or General historie of Plantes by John Gerard.Published in 1597 originally. A Dover publication.

Last winter I read thru the old Journals and gave you snipets of info from them to whit your appetite to make you want to read them,too. This artic le was found when searching for herb lore.

When we get sunburned while digging bulbs, we have the remedy.

7/Kentucky could not get Oxmore Mall for their show. They will have an exhibit of daffodils and give out information and flowers on Apri11,1995.They had good luck getting new members last year. be with my show again.

CODS had to change their show from the Zoo to the

Franklin Observatory this year.

I am sure that we all will support the shows in 1995
