SPECIAL NOTICES. 
I. Quality.— When the Bulbs in Holland are in flower, we annually make a professional visit to the 
principal "bulb farms" to inspect the crops, and our supply of Dutch-grown bulbs is drawn from 
the healthiest “ stocks ’’ of the most reliable growers ; we can therefore recommend them with 
the utmost confidence, and feel sure that if the bulbs receive proper cultural treatment they will give 
great satisfaction. Simple and practical cultural directions head each family of bulbs. 
II. Experimental Grounds and Nursery, Long Ditton, a few minutes from Surbiton Station, S.W. R. 
(close to the Surbiton New Recreation Grounds). Visitors at all seasons will find many things of 
interest and beauty in Hardy Bulbs, Tubers and Herbaceous Perennial Plants. In spring the 
brilliancy of the bulb fields surpasses description. From August to April one variety or another of 
our unique collection of rare Species of Crocus may be seen in flower, and in September and October 
there is a gay display of beautiful varieties of Meadow Saffrons. 
III. Parcel Post. — We shall in all cases use the Parcel Post, when cheapest, and the articles admit of 
being packed for safe transmission by " Parcel Post." 
IV. Carriage by Kail may be deducted at settlement of account, on orders for Bulbs to any Railway 
Station in Great Britain, and to all Ports on the Irish Coast (except goods coming under Clause VII.). 
V. Orders, paid in advance. — If it is necessary to send such by Rail, carriage will be prepaid, if requested, 
or, if not requested, a liberal equivalent in goods will be added. 
VI. Empties. — A small charge is made for these, and if returned within a fortnight, allowance will be 
made for the same. Returned empties should invariably have the senders name on the address 
label for the identification of sender, and a notification at once sent by post stating date of dispatch 
and name of Railway Company, that we may see that the empty is duly received. 
VII. Fruit and Forest Trees, Shrubs, Plants in pots, Soils, Watson’s Lawn Sand, Manures, Insecticides, 
Barr's Cut Flower and Fruit Conveyance Boxes, Barr’s Improved Indoor Frames, Barr's Improved 
Hydropult Garden Engines, etc. — on these we do not allow carriage. 
VIII. Five per cent, may be deducted from accounts if paid within one month from date of invoice. 
IX. Post Office Orders and Postal Orders to be made payable at Post Office, Covent Garden, W.C., or 
any other Post Office, these and all cheques to be crossed, adding the words "and Co.," or by 
preference " London and County Bank.” Small amounts in a Registered Letter may be remitted in 
Postage Stamps or coin. 
X. Daffodils. — Great importance is now attached to the cultivation of Daffodils for forcing, and as cut 
flowers, also for out-door decoration in beds, borders, and to naturalise in grass, see list, page 24. 
XI. Our Collection of Daffodils has been described in the Journal of Horticulture of May 14th, 1891, as 
" A gTeat national or international museum of Daffodils”, embracing not less than 500 species 
and varieties. These Daffodils are all perfectly hardy, remaining uninjured in the open ground, 
during the most severe winters ; out of doors the different varieties maintain a succession of bloom 
Irom February to end of May, and are more decorative and useful for cutting than any other hardy 
spring flowers. Daffodils are valuable for pot-culture (three to five bulbs in a 4 or 5-inch pot), 
cultural treatment and general management same as for the Hyacinth, so as to secure a constant 
succession of flowers from early in January. 
XII. Iggr Naming Daffodils.— Cut specimens of Daffodils we undertake to name correctly at the charge of 
6 d. each, as. 6 d. per dozen, ijr. per 100. This charge is made not for profit, but to cover attendant 
expenses. Address all cat specimens for naming, accompanied by a remittance, to our Nursery, 
Long Ditton, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. 
XIII. Cut Daffodil Flowers. — When in bloom out-of-doors, cutspecimens of New Daffodils, correctly named, 
we forward post-paid at a low charge, thus offering a good opportunity to those who wish to extend 
their knowledge of these lovely flowers of spring. If a list of the varieties possessed by the sender is 
enclosed, such will be omitted ; the names sent in such cases should range in column fashion and 
alphabetical order. A remittance should accompany order.
