Barr Cup Competition. 



Owing to the backwardness of the season there was but one entry for 

 the Barr Cup offered for a collection of Daffodils ; and as the Judges did 

 not consider the exhibit worthy of the award the prize was withheld. 



Narcissus and Tulip Committee, April 28, 1908. 

 Mr. H. B. May in the Chair, and twenty-four members present. 



On the motion of the Rev. J. Jacob, seconded by Mr. J. Pope, it was 

 unanimously resolved to recommend the Council to appoint a sub-com- 

 mit tee to frame a classification of Daffodils for show and catalogue 

 purposes, as it was felt that the old divisions of large, medium, and small 

 crowned varieties were now insufficient. 



This recommendation was very favourably received by the Council, 

 and the Rev. W. Wilks, Rev. G. Engleheart, Rev. J. Jacob, and Messrs. 

 J. T. Bennett-Poe, J. W. Barr, E. A. Bowles, and C. H. Curtis were 

 appointed to act as a Classification Sub-Committee.
