BARR’S HARDY DAFFODILS, DAFFADILLIES, 
DAFFODOWNDILLIES. (Narcissi.) 
Bulba Supplied September to end of December. 
Tn a separate catalogue the descriptive list of Daffodils will be found, re-arranged into two groups The 
First Group embraces only the high class and distinct varieties. The Second Group includes all the cheap 
kinds, of which we have large stocks, and these are offered at greatly reduced prices, to encourage extensive 
naturalization, also as they are all beautiful sorts, we recommend them for filling flower beds, and " boxing- 
up " to force for cut flowers. ’ ' s 
In the Daffodil Catalogue, we have arranged our grand collections of Iris, Lilies, Paaonlas Hellebores 
Michaelmas Daisies, Perennial Sunflowers, Plantain-Lilies, Day-Lilies, and Hepatlcas, with a select list of 
beautiful hardy perennials, decorative in flower borders, shrubberies, large beds, and to cut for lable bouquets.

1 he Daffodil is the most beautiful of all hardy Spring flowers, and the most popular ; it has for centuries 
adorned our gardens, and withstood uninjured our severest winters. 
For filling beds and planting in groups in mixed borders and shrubberies, no flowers of spring can compare 
with the Daffodil, and when naturalized in woodland walks, or forming large groups in grass or planted on 
sloping banks, the effect is splendid. All the strong growing Daffodils are adapted for naturalization, including 
such sorts a r Emperor, Empress, Horsfieldii, Moschatus varieties, etc. ; their noble or chastely coloured 
flowers, in such situations, are seen to great advantage. The slender, and dwarf-growing sorts, such as Minor 
Nanus, Minimus, Juncifolius, Triandrus albus, Corbularias, Cyclamineus, etc. , could be naturalized on rock- 
work, and in almost all mountainous districts, on slopes facing the south. For edgings these dwarf Daffodils are 
gems. For culture under glass, in pots, the Daffodil ranks with the Hyacinth, and when 3 to 6 bulbs are grown 
in a pot, the effect is very fine. As a cut flower the Daffodil is unsurpassed, and greatly in demand.
