The International Daffodil Register and Classified List (1998)
Originators and Registrants
The following hybridizers, introducers and registrants appear in the Register. The Registrar would welcome information about any whose names have been inadvertently omitted or whose entries are incomplete or incorrect. The names are also included of some of the other people of significance to the daffodil world.
b born
c circa
crd commenced raising daffodils
d died
Prop. proprietor
rd raised daffodils
If two or more locations are given, they are in chronological order and, unless otherwise stated, in the same country, county or state as the preceding location.
British county or conurbation names are those obtaining in the person's lifetime, hence in some cases Herefordshire is given rather than the new name Hereford & Worcester. County names that have been completely obliterated in recent boundary changes are for information followed by the new name in brackets, eg Radnorshire (now Powys).
