Below was my answer to Nancy’s question about ‘Ann’ It was entered in a class for Jonquil Hybrids. You must always read the prologue. In the case of the prologue for ‘Ann’ it was exhibited as a Jonquil Hybrid by the hybridizer Mitcthell (See Below). The originator name in the case of ‘Ann Abbott’ was G.H. Johnstone. Both Mitcihll and Johnstone were contemporaries.
Always check the bibliography and the original reference.
