DISTINCT BEAUTIFUL VARIETIES ONLY. 
Bulbs supplied September, October, November, and December. 
Last Spring 1 our Collection of Daffodils underwent a very critical examination, which 
resulted in our dividing- it into two Sections. No. 1 Section, as follows, embraces the highest 
class, and most distinct varieties, and far surpasses in beauty and rich diversity, any 
assortment of Daffodils, ever before offered to the public. This Section embraces the cream of 
our immense Collection, and consists mostly of new sorts, many of which being offered for the 
first time 1887 and 1888. 
* indicates the new varieties of Daffodils which we had introduced up to 188C.

Those without any special indication are species and varieties known before Backhouse’s and 
Leeds’ Daffodils were introduced by us. 
indicates the Daffodils which have been awarded First-Class Certificates. Many of 
our finest Daffodils have not been certificated, owing to their not being in condition when the 
Certificating Committees met. We simply name this to guard purchasers against supposing that 
those Certificated are the only varieties of high merit.
