SECTION C - SMALL GROWERS - A small grower is one who grows 50or fewer cultivars or species. Standard single stems are exhibited in a blockwith a single large test tube. Three stems are shown in a clear vase.

Many of us grew up calling any yellow daffodil a jonquil, most often incorrectly. As a rule, but not always, jonquil species and hybrids are characterized by several yellow flowers, strong fragrance and roundedfoliage. Jonquils are confined to Division 7 and the term “jonquil” shouldbe applied only to Division 7 cultivars or species in Division 13 knownto belong to the jonquil group.
