IntroductionIntroduction

Hybridizers in the United States are working in all the daffodil divisions, and have made many significant improvements in form and color. They are also creatingdifferent colors in some of the divisions that have hadlimited color in the past. In no other country is thegreat diversity of fine quality new daffodils so evident.

This review of newer standards and intermediates is arranged by division to showcase the extensive varietyof distinctive flowers being produced in nearly everydivision by American hybridizers.

44

Though the work of a few professional breeders is more evident, the program contains images from 18 different hybridizers, many of them amateurs. The Mitsch-Havens dynasty, now in its 78th year, has led the way to many advances in the upper divisions, as well as in the so-called “first four.”

Others, such as Sid DuBose, Steve Vinisky and John Reed, though they have not had so many years of breeding behind them, are up-to-the-minute with their new flowers.

55

America’s most noted amateur, Bill Pannill, has produced many flowers that, though they may no longer be called “new,” have yet to be surpassed in their class, so are included here. The dates shown are registration dates, which are often much earlier than the date of commercial introduction.
