Barr’s Beautiful Hardy Daffodils : their Uses and Selections. 
25 
species are most charming in pots. If Daffodils are grown for cutting early in the season plant thickly, in boxes 
of 15 inches by io, and 5 to 6 inches deep, using ordinary potting soil. The pots or boxes should then be placed out 
of doors , on a bed of ashes, and covered with 6 inches of the same material, or with cocoa fibre if it can be had. 
1 he pots or boxes remain out of doors till full of roots , and top growth has commenced. Portions may then 
be removed indoors, in succession, to a moist forcing-house, and plentifully supplied w ith water, care being 
taken that the plants do not get drawn, from an insufficient supply of air. 
A selection of Daffodils for succession out-of-doors should consist of varieties from the three groups. The 
1 rumpet and Corbularia Sections flower, one variety following the other from February till May, The Nonsuch 
°ther hybrid sections, begin flowering in March, and succeed each other until May. The Burbidge's 
Daffodils, the Poet’s, the Bunch-flowered, etc., commence flowering early in April, and furnish a succession of 
blossoms till June. When grown under glass , all the Daffodils flower probably a month earlier than the periods 
above named. 
Cut blooms of Daffodils are always acceptable, and are in abundance out-of-doors at a season when other 
flowers are scarce. They supplement and associate admirably w ith hot-house flowers. For upwards of twenty 
years, for three months in Spring, cut flowers from our collection of Daffodils have been exhibited at the 
various London Flower Shows and Fortnightly Meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society, also at 
the Spring Flower Shows held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Crystal Palace, Royal Aquarium, 
and other places in town and country. 
At the above-named places we have been awarded numerous Gold and Silver Medals, 
Prizes, Certificates, Votes of Thanks, etc. Our Grand Display of Daffodils at the Second Great 
Daffodil Conference, held April 15th, 1890, was awarded the ONLY GOLD MEDAL, 
BARR’S PRIZE MEDALS AWARDED FOR CUT DAFFODIL FLOWERS, February , March, April and 
May, 1894. Information forwarded on application. 
DAFFODIL BULBS SUPPLIED SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, AND DECEMBER. 
Each Spring our Collection of Daffodils undergoes a critical examination, which results in our

accepted as finest and distinct.

The varieties in these assortments consist largely of the fine hybrids and varieties raised by the late Mr. 
William Backhouse and Mr. Edward Leeds. They are all distinct one from the other, so that buyers cannot fail 
to be fully satisfied with them. Daffodils in these assortments may all be used for pot-culture or forced for 
cut flowers, or planted in beds, in flower borders, naturalized in grass, in woodland walks, orchards, by streams, 
lakes, etc., the effect in Spring far surpassing that of any other family of plants.

talization in grass, &c. The grand effect of these light graceful Daffodils
