For rockwork, edgings and small beds, these beautiful little Daffodils are most charming, while if several 
bulbs are planted in pots or pans, they are greatly prized for indoor decoration.

citron-yellow, ht. 6 to 8 in. ; delights in a dampish sandy peat .soil. 
The collected bulbs, which have to be lifted while in growth, 
will not all bloom the first season ; they should therefore be left 
undisturbed to establish themselves. For bowl and pot culture 
we recommend the cultivated bulbs

BARR’S SPECIAL SEED FOR GRASS PATHS AND BORDERS. 
A charming feature in well-laid-out Spring gardens are close velvety grass walks. They are soft 
to walk upon, restful to the eye, and provide a delightful contrast to the colours in the flower border. 
Broad bands of green grass separating the gravel path from the flower border are a great improvement to 
a garden. Sow in September, per lb. 2/3 ; 10 lb. for 21/6. 
Barr's Lawn Grasses for September Sowing. — Lawns should be renovated in September, after
