6 BARR’S HARDY HOOP PETTICOAT AND YELLOW TRUMPET DAFFODILS. 
Daffodils— Group T.— continued. 
All the Trumpet Daffodils are prized for pot-oulturo, flowering under glass with the Hyatnnth, 
should be cultivated in the same way, three to live roots in a 4 or 5-inoh pot. The out flowers of Daffodils are 
much in demand for bouquets and vases. For { icncral cultural directions, see page 4. . . 
Explanation why different sized types have been used in the NAMES of the Daffodils. 
(1) . EMPEROR. This type indicates the higher quality. 
(2) . ALBICANS. This type indicates the next quality. 
(3 ) . Biflorus. This type indicates the lower quality. 
The very distinct species which do not admit of comparison , such as Corbularia, Cyclamineus, 
Minimus, etc . , we place with the higher quality , and those which rank above the higher standard arc 
iiuinat.d ltygie from olir Catalogue the names of Daffodils which are superseded by others 
of higher quality at similar prices. _ . . _ 
Daffodil Bulbs supplied September, October, November, and December. 
Each Spring our Collection of Daffodils undergoes a critical examination, which results in 
our expunging superseded varieties, and as nearly all the finest Daffodils have emanated from 
onr Collection, the kinds we catalogue may be accepted as the finest and most distinct. The 
following list embraces the highest class, and most distinct varieties, surpassing in beauty 
and diversity all other assortments of Daffodils offered to the public. Our Daffodil Catalogue 
describes the cream of our Collection (about 500 kinds), consisting mostly of new sorts, some of 
which were offered for the first time 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, and the present year.
