PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Last year our president's message consisted of two words; "Let's Communicate". My message for the 1979-1980 year is one word: "EVERYONE". CODS is a group not just a few and if it is to be a sucess "EVERYONE" must be willing to get involved. To make CODS an involved group, I will need and invite all the help I can get. My fondest hope is to hear an unquali-fied "YES" response to project assignments. Please help make this a year to remember. "HAPPY DAFFODIL SEASON, FROM PLANTING TO SHOWING".

It is open to the public and I thought it was a great opportunity and said yes and suggested that since our first meeting was November 6, 1979, we would need all information. We need to up-date our props, literature and this will be a good time to start. It will also keep our name in the public eye. Since CODS as a group did not have time to vote, I hope I have your approval in saying yes.

For the past three years the evaluating committee of the Central Ohio Daffodil Society's Display Garden has given Awards of Merit to worthy cultivars. The bulbs must have been down three years before they are eligible for consideration. In 1977 Kinglet 7Y-0, Chat 7Y-W, Ceylon 2Y-0, and Tete a Tete 6Y-0 were chosen; in 1978 Panache 1W-W, Ardour 3Y-R, Clare 7Y-Y, Wahkeena 2W-Y, Paricutin 2Y-R and Pretty Miss 7W-Y made the list. This year the commiteee named Nampa 1Y-W, Prologue 1W-Y, Shining Light 2Y-00R, Romance 2W-P, Cave 3W-GYR, Tahiti 4Y-YRR, Little Witch 6Y-Y, Canarybird 8Y-GYY, and Marionette 2Y-YRR. This award means that these cultivars do extremely well in the garden in this area, but does not mean that they are good for the show bench. Many of the above mentioned flowers however are very good exhibition flowers.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF DAFFODILS IN MAINLAND AUSTRALIA

Before 1900

It would appear that in the early days Mr.H.H. B.Bradley Hon/Sec. of the R.H.S. of New South Wales was the leading Daffodil authority in Australia. He raised quite a lot of new cultivars; in many cases they had Poeticus blood in them. Other keen Daffodil people of the era in-cluded Messrs. A. Burbridge, L. Buckland and Alister Clark from Victoria, W.H.Hawes from New South Wales, R.M.Pitt, H. Selkirk, G.S. Titheradge fromA.Inact41 South Wales and R.M.Pitt.

Three other points of interest are:0AL) (a) 18 Daffodils were shown in.444.P.th South Wales in 1886 by

Mr. R. Arnold and Messrs. Bradley Senior and Junior. (b) At least Messrs. H. Bradley, W. Hawes, H. Selkirk, A.Yates,

Alister Clark and L. Buckland were hybridizing before the turn of the Century. Mr. Bradley's ambition was to raise a red Daffodil.

(c) And Messrs. Alister Clark, G.S. Titheradge and A. Yates had begun to import bulbs of the latest varieties in the 1a4.1 0-'s.

(4'.‘)= 0\

The 1914 Daffodil Year Book contains three articles orginated in Australia. They were prepared by Messrs. H.H. B. Bradley, H. Selkirk, and G.S. Titheradge. Articles from Australia continued until the last issue of the Daffodil & Tulip Year Book in 1971.

In this period under review, possibly the greatest advancement in Australia was made with Daffodils.

Nobody today is quite sure who produced the first pink cupped Daf-fodil. It could have been R.P. Backhouse of England, C.E. Radcliffe of Tasmania or Alister Clark of "Glenarall Bulla, Victoria.

Reversed bi-colours appeared during this era. Guy Wilson flowered Spellbinder; Binkie was raised in Tasmania from seed sent out from the Motherland; and H. T. DettmJnnof Kyneton, Victoria produced Rus Holland.

I am in possession of Alister Clark's gift book. It was passed to me by Mr. Jack Sharp who was Alister's head gardener for many years. It clearly records that gifts of bulbs were sent to Guy Wilson in Ireland, hybridists in New Zealand, the U.S.A., Tasmania and a host of people in Victoria.

Au./01-04 The Award of Merit and First Class Certificate were introduced in /\

Australia in 1909 but unfortunately history does not record why they fell into disuse. In those far away days only three blooms were required by the evaluators.

The R.H.S. of Victoria had an Australian registration system in the 1930's; this too has faded away without trace.

Numerous hybridists were active in the period, some of them were: H. Alston, H. Boyce, H.A. Brown, L.P. Brumley, Alister Clark. H.T. Dettmann, C.O. & Mrs. Fairbairn, M. Gardiner, Mrs. J. N. Hancock, S.F. Mann, S. & T. Morrisons, C.A.Nethercote, A. Overton, Rev. E.W. Philpott, O. Ronalds, and D.V. West.

Of the seventeen R.H.S. of Victoria Perpetual Daffodil Trophies, sixteen were introduced in the period and nine of the hybridists mentioned above were honoured: L.P. Brumley, twice. In addition, one was named in honour of Dame Nelle Melba. The competition for this trophy I believe is very interesting viz;50 distinct Daffodils, 1 stem of each shown separately all to be correctly named and at least 9 to be from Division 1.

The R.H.S. trophies are quite valuable; the majority are of sterling silver and date back to 1909.

1950 TO PRESENT

The Australian Daffodil Society was formed in 1962. The late Travers Morrison being the first President.

To date the Society has: (a) Recommended the allocation of R.H.S. trophies to affili-

ated Societies each year. (b) Introduced five Australian Daffodil Society trophies. (c) Suggested to the R.H.S. that a Sterling Silver Cup, won

by C.A. Nethercote for the champion bloom in the amateur section of the 1909 Daffodil Show, be redesignated to honour the work that his daughter, Gertrude Nethercote, did with Daffodils in the R.H.S. It is now known as the Gertrude Nethercote Perpetual Memorial Trophy (Amateur). The competition to be for 6 stems of Daffodils from Divisions 5 - 7, 9 - 10 and 12, in a container. They need not necessarily be distinct cultivars.

At least nine people began hybridizing during this period, W Blanden, L.P. Dettman, A. Ladson, J.L. Martin, T. Martin, V.A. Molloy Mr. & Mrs. A. Murray and W. M. Spry.

Possibly we are recognized mostly for our pink Daffodils and early flowering cultivars than anything else. Little credit is given to hybrid-ists of small Daffodils raised in large numbers by Alister Clark, S. & T. Morrison's and C.A. Nethercote. Many of these raisings are still grown and should anybody be interested, I am prepared to attempt to track these gems down for the enthusiast.

This year the Society decided to stock a supply of permanent metal labels (Rose Style) as a service to it's members. These are available from Grace Baird (486-0981), 25 for $2.50. She will have them available at our next meeting - November 6th.

CODS Educational Garden

The wet summer season played havoc with the scheduled digging and re-planting of bulbs in the garden. As a result only the first half of Bed I was dug and replanted. As we looked at the whites that were next in the bed, we all shuddered thinking we might lose them. There are a few bulbs of each of the following varieties available to the CODS members who have worked in the garden. The other members may "purchase" after the workers have had an opportunity to buy (make a contribution to the garden fund).
