BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1912. 
Yellow Trumpet Daffodils — continued . 
Minimus, true (i), the smallest and dwarfest Trumpet Daffodil, flowers rich full 
yellow ; height about 3 inches, flowering outdoors in February ; a dainty little gem for 
edgings, nooks on rock- work, or to naturalise in grass, and for pot culture. It likes a 
peaty soil. In 1887, during a tour in Spain, the late Mr. Peter Barr found this charming 
miniature Daffodil growing freely amongst gorse, with a south aspect. For our annual 
supply we have to depend upon collected bulbs which are taken up while the foliage is 
green : in consequence there is a possibility that all the bulbs may not bloom the first season , 
but a proportion 7 oill per 1000, 100/-; per 100, 10 6
