HERMAN L. McKENZIE "And I'm happy now because the daffodils are beginning to bloom." Thus I concluded an informal introduction of myself i in a Sunday School class go-around-theroom-and- -tell- -yourself exercise last Sunday. Most had been cut-and-dried, but the person just before me mentioned her twenty-four new rose bushes and the happiness she expected from them, and I of course couldn't resist the chance to boost my favorite flower. A month ago it seemed that the daffodil blooming season was four weeks behind normal (if normal is to be defined as the pattern of the last ten or twelve years. (But daffodil blooms have a habit of telescoping the season if they get weather to their liking; and we have now caught up two weeks of that gap.

I tried a bit of hybridizing yesterday, all too aware that two years ago my most successful crosses were made on Valentine's Day. And we agonize over the familiar decisions of just when to start cutting and refrigerating blooms for either the Hernando or the Memphis show, March 24 or March 30. We try to be firm with ourselves, not cutting anything more than two weeks ahead. But sometimes a perfect bloom forces us to break our own rules. The more-than-ample rainfall of this winter has been both bane and blessing.

We've lost more bulbs than usual in the ground, and invariably these are high priced bulbs included as gifts in bulb orders. But many old favorites, in the ground ten years, are bigger and taller than ever before. Even the doubles, which almost always blast in our climate, seem to be going to bloom. Maybe their nemesis has been, not heat, but drought. A massive digging and replanting is on the schedule, as well as a good fertilizing almost the minute a clump finishes blooming.

The American Daffodil Society convention comes to Memphis the last week of March in 1980, and our planting plans are centered around possibly the only national show we will ever be able to enter. This daffodil season is not one of perfect happiness. Just as the first blooms were opening, word came from a friend in Virginia of the death, in Waterford, Ireland, of Mrs. Nell Richardson, one of the truly great ladies of the daffodil world. Mrs.

Richardson's husband, along with fellow Irishman Guy Wilson, was one of the pioneers of daffodil breeding in this century. From his hybridizing efforts we have such great standards as Ceylon, Vulcan, Falstaff, Arctic Gold, and Goldcourt. The Richardsons first emphasized the true red-cups; as I write this, a bloom of Ceylon is on my kitchen table. No one ever mentioned how much Nell Richardson helped in these early efforts; but at her husband's death, more than two decades ago, she picked up the torch and has carried it forward magnificently. Her major contribution has been in the breeding of truly outstanding double daffodils.

She always came to America to the ADS conventions, and for many years was a member of the Board of Directors. Her wit and pithy comments on my tapes of various convention panels are something I treasure. After her semi-retirement in 1973, she traveled widely, not always in quest of the daffodil, as her account of an African safari testified. Mrs. Richardson was kindness herself, always taking time to talk to a beginning grower such as I was, and filling the letters which accompanied her bulb orders with advice and friendly comment.

I always was coveting some new and expensive Richardson introduction, looking forward to the day I could afford it. First it was Camelot, then Golden Aura; now I will have to try harder to find a source of Celtic Gold, the latest of the large cup self which Northsiders initiated into new UM sorority Northsiders recently initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta social sorority at the University of Mississippi include Ashley Cole, Tricia Edwards and Shannon Quiriconi.

A rehearsal dinner was given by the groom's parents on the eve of the wedding in the Chancellor Room of Village Inn. The hridal couple presented their attendants with gifts at this time.
