FODIL AND QUEEN ANN'S DOUBLE 
JONQUIL. 
DAFFODILS are the most graceful and beautiful of all 
Ilardy Spring Garden Flowers, and withstand uninjured 
our severest winters better than any other flower. The 
cut blooms are always acceptable, and are in abundance 
out of doors at a season when other flowers are scarce. 
They supplement and associate admirably with hot-house 
flowers. t

Gilt, and Silver), PRIZES & CERTIFICATES,

THE GREAT DAFFODIL CONFERENCE OF 1896, 
HELD AT THE GARDENS OF THE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, RECENT'S PARK, AprUlltL & 15tL, 1896. 
Extract from the Daily Telegraph, April 15th, 1896. — “Yesterday was consecrated to The Daffodil 
. . . in the famous garden of the Regent’s Park. Learned, artistic, and aesthetic ladies and 
gentlemen lectured, discussed, and conferred about the Daffodil in the Botanical Museum, under the 
presidency of Mr. J. G. Baker, of the Royal Herbarium, Kew. Botanists of experience and rare talent 
went Daffodil mad. They gave us its early history, they traced it from its first wood-block engraving, 
they told us how to grow it in the garden and how to plant it on the grass .... they showed us 
the Daffodil in art, the Daffodil in decoration, and the Daffodil of the dado and afternoon tea-cloth,” &c. 
Extract from The Garden, April 18th, 1896. — “ A collection of Daffodils of almost bewildering extent and 
splendour was exhibited by Messrs. Barr & Sons, of Coveut Gardeu. This exhibit wan ’magnificent, by far the finest of 
its kind in the Show. The flowers were iu splendid condition, fiuely growu, brilliantly coloured, and effectively 
staged.” 
Extract from The Times, April 16t.h, 1896.— 41 The most noticeable feature was the exhibit of Messrs. Barr A Sous, 
of Covent Gardeu, representing almost every species of Daffodil.”
