Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
The following list of Daffodils comprises some of the finest novelties, and includes New 
Seedlings of our own raising and many of the best raised by other hybridists — the Rev. 
G. H. Engleheart, the late Rev. G. P. Haydon, Mr. E. M. Crosfield, Mr. J. C. Williams, 
Mr. P. D. Williams, Mrs. Backhouse, Mr. Henry Backhouse, Mr. Cave, Mr. Philip Worsley, 
and Mr. Dawson. We would specially draw attention to the following grand exhibition kinds ; 
Anchorite, Caedmon, Caesar, Coral Queen, Dell, Elgiva, Empire, Golden 
Chief, Jasper, Lewis Carrol, Red Beacon, Ringdove, Royal Lady, Ruhy, 
St. Olaf, Socrates, Timon, and Wildfire— all of great beauty. 
In 1910 we purchased from Mr. Charles Dawson (who has given up growing Daffodils) 
his “ Rosemorran ” Daffodil Seedlings, containing many beautiful varieties, and at 
the same time took over his charming Cornish garden for the purpose of raising and rearing 
new seedlings. 
We have been awarded for New Seedlings the Engleheart Challenge Cup by the Royal 
Horticultural Society as First Prize for Twelve Best Seedling Daffodils not in commerce, 
the Walter Ware Challenge Cup for the Best New Triandrus Hybrids (Midland Daffodil 
Society), and the Standard Cup (R. H. S.) for 12 New Seedlings. 
The relative qualities as we judge them are indicated by XX, XXX, XXXX, the highest quality 
flower being given the most marks. The figures after the names indicate the relative period of 
flowering, (I) being earliest, (6) being latest.
