BARR’S Gold Medal Daffodils, 1898. 
General List of Barr’s Daffodils. 
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 
represent the cream of our Collection (about 500 kinds), and many are new sorts, 
which have been offered for the first time from 1887 to 1898. 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years we have discarded many kinds which we considered had been superseded by 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 ORDER OF TIME OF FLOWERING. 
The relative period of flowering of the different varieties and species we have denoted by means of 
numbers after the names, thus : 
(1) 1 st early, flowering from February to early March. 
(2) 2 nd early, flowering in March. 
(3) Varieties flowering in mid-season, or early in April. 
(4) Late-flowering varieties, from middle to end of April. 
( 5 ) Very late-flowering varieties, opening in May. 
The actual period of blooming depends upon the season and district; thus in early districts (1) would 
commence in January and early February, while in colder districts end of February or beginning of 
March ; but the natural rotation would remain the same. 
FOR ALPHABETICAL INDEX of all the varieties offered in the following list, see page 2 of Cover. 
"nSttf - * 1 The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of deciduous trees, naturalised in grass 
in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
The Illustrations we give are from Photographs taken at our Daffodil Nurseries, and are intended 
principally to give a general idea of the form of the flower.
