GENERAL LIST of BARR’S DAFFODILS. 
EXPLANATORY NOTES. 
The following list of Daffodils embraces the highest class, and most distinct varieties, 
surpassing in beauty and diversity all other assortments offered to the public. They repre- 
sent the cream of onr Collection (about 500 kinds), and many are new sorts, which have been 
offered for the first time 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, and 1897. 
Within the last few years we have discarded many kinds which we considered had been 
superseded by better sorts, so that all the varieties offered by us are good and distinct. 
The Illustrations roe give are mostly from Photographs, on a greatly reduced scale, taken at our 
Nurseries, and are intended principally to give a general idea of the form of the floruer.
