The Incomparable, Chalice-Cup and Crown Daffodils 



These beautiful Daffodils are hybrids. The originals of most of the various family groups being crosses between the large trumpet Daffodils and the small cupped 

 Poeticus, the blood of the latter supplying the red rimmed crowns to be found on some of the varieties in this section. These hybrid Daffodils embrace the 

 greatest variety of forms and range of coloring. They are strong growers, free bloomers, hardy and thrive under garden culture or naturalized; for growing in pot3 

 of soil or bowls of fibre for winter flowers, they are splendid, and as cut flowers are greatly prized. The red rimmed varieties sometimes lose their red color in ex- 

 posed hot sunny locations, therefore should be cut when only half expanded and be allowed to develop in water in the house. 



THE INCOMPARABLE DAFFODILS. 



NARCISSUS INCOMPARABILIS. 



The Incomparabilis Group are garden hybrids between yellow Trumpets and 

 Poeticus. Characteristic: depth of crown J to f the length of a perianth petal. 

 They are all perfectly hardy, thrive under garden culture or naturalized, and 

 for flowering in the house or green house in winter are unsurpassed. The 

 flowers are all large, often 4 inches across and are borne freely on long stems.

The bulbs are quickly and easily planted in soil or sod without digging by 

 using Barr's Bulb Planter (illustrated and offered in this Catalogue) , which cuts and 

 lifts a circular piece of turf 2i in. diameter of the desired depth which is released 

 when the next hole is cut — and lies ready to fill in the holes when the bulbs 

 have been put in then a pressure of the foot levels the surface so the turf does 

 not appear to have been disturbed. 



Barr's Bulb Dibber (illustrated and offered in this Catalogue) is also an ex- 

 cellent tool for dibbing bulbs in to boarders etc. 



NARCISSUS, DAFFODILS, AND HOW TO GROW THEM

 any in America. The history , lore, traditional and poetical, is touched upon; 

 wild Narcissus and where found; cultivation in gardens; naturalizing, winter 

 flowering in pots, bowls of water; forcing for cut flowers, hybridizing; dis- 

 tinguishing features of the various family types, with descriptions of all varie- 

 ties in commerce ; also suggestive selections for different purposes, etc.
