DAFFODILS AND PEONIES. 
During the summer of 1898 we were favored mas a visit from 
qually varied assortment of about forty-nine s. These 
e in the east nursery since their arrival, and have become 
well established; they may n e removed to a permanent 
position in the groun When it is know Barr has 
spent y perfecting his collections of these two 
flowers, the value of his gift will be fully appreciated. M 
any 
species and garden hybrids are represented, a number of the 
latter, excepting through this source, being difficult of ac- 
quisition 
The daffodils begin to flower the last part of April, and con- 
tinue for about three weeks. Their variety of color and 
diversity of form well repay many a visit. Truly it is no wonder 
he s but half a 
ae for itself though fully able to hold its own against all com- 
etitors.
