This is usually the case with most new plants.I have learned that Dutch Master has also been used as a generic name so what we grow today may not always be true stock of that cultivar,either. Golden Harvest and Unsurpassable can also still be found today although they aren&#39;t as common as they were a few decades ago. Any of these daffodils would be a perfect addition to the garden for those interested in historic daffodils. I am also interested in finding out more about Emperor and other mid-19th century predecessors to King Alfred. <br />Thanks for commenting.Tyla Machttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02472984466025106992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707883992336743336.post-33494743044009759422010-05-06T20:08:34.927-05:002010-05-06T20:08:34.927-05:00Dutch Master was registered in 1938 so it would not likely have been sufficiently common in the 20&#39;s and 30&#39;s to be a cheap substitute for King Alfred. Unsurpassable and Golden Harvest are more likely substitutes for King Alfred during the 20&#39;s and 30&#39;s See http://www.daffodilusa.org/references/adshistorics.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
