Introduction: I undertook this project in October of 1988, with the idea that a literature search for references to fragrance in daffodils might be useful to hybridizers, since the Daffodil Data Book does not record this information. The sixty-five cultivars and twenty-six species noted here are interesting in their own right. Many are rarely seen, and unfortunately many of the authors who discussed them are deceased. I think everyone will enjoy the "philosophy" section, and perhaps some will find the "seedling" section informative. My hope is that all who consider good scent in daffodils a plus, will be encouraged and stimulated by these quotations.

PAPYRUS (9W-YYR) Vol.13,#1 p.40 Meg Yerger "the scent has a delicate sweetness, subtly different from other poet daffodils."

PENGUIN (not in DDB) Vol.18,#3 p.191 Grant Mitsch "a lovely fragrant double."

PHILOSOPHY Vol.6,#4 p.196 Laura Roennfeldt "Fragrance is something which varies with the type of flower and the nose of the smeller of same. I have had smokers tell me in all seriousness that they couldn't smell a thing when I held a particularly sweet-smelling bloom under their noses. But I find some daffodils have a fragrance almost as heady as a tuberose, all have an odor and some simply smell like the lightly distilled essence of spring itself."

(2) Vol.8,#1 p.43 Peggy Macneale "Ten junior exhibitors from the Oklahoma School for the Blind all entered KING ALFRED blooms, and won honorable mentions. In future years they will be given bulbs of fragrant cultivars to plant, so their entries can be more varied and more interesting to them."

(3) Vol.17,#1 p.39 Adrian Frylink "I would like to see more breeding for fragrance, much of which has been lost over the years. What has happened to the heady fragrance of the little jonquils, the perfume of the poets and the old bicolor trumpet VANILLA?"

(4) Vol.17,#3 p.172 Brent Heath "we specialize in miniature, dwarf and fragrant types."

(5) V01.17,#4 p.226 Brian Duncan "the purists may shun the idea but I feel there may be room for some progress by crossing some of the fragrant green eyed rimmed varieties from Division 3 with accepted poets."

(6) Vol.19,#3 p.175-6 Meg Yerger "Scent is a very evanescent quality to investigate because individuals differ so in ability to discern fragrances. Generally, women are better at it than men, and non-smokers better than those who smoke! Then, too, the vocabulary with which to describe the scent is variable because the possible words mean different things to different people. However that may be, it is likely that, if a bloom does not have fragrance, it is not a poet."

(7) Vol.20,#4 p.252 P.D.Williams (list of qualities of a good garden plant)"Scent is another quality that must not be overlooked, but it is almost entirely associated with N.poeticus, jonquils, tazettas and their hybrids."
