Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
FOR 1903, 
Including many which are offered for the first time. 
The following list of Daffodils includes the best of recently raised seedlings, and purchasers cannot 
fail to be pleased wiih them. In point of quality they all rank high, while a robust healthy consti- 
tution renders them additionally valuable. They will well repay a good culture by the size and beauty of 
their flowers. 
For Giant Trumpets we can strongly recommenJ Cleopatra, Duke of Bedford, Monarch, King 
Alfred, Queen Christina, and Wcardale Perfection, while fanet Image, Maggie May, H kite Queen, and 
Ariadne may be termed the Queens of the Leedsii Section for their size, grace, and beauty. Peach 
and SalmotuHa are new breaks of remarkable beauty and quite distinct from any other existing varieties. 
For richly coloured cups, Gloria Mundi, Firebrand, Lucifer, Oriflamme, Torch, and Vivid are unsurpassed. 
The new varieties of Burbidgei Egret, Posalind, and Sceptre are exceptionally beautiful. Among White 
Trumpets, Peter Barr heads the list for size and beauty, while Henri Vilmorin, Lady Audrey, and 
Alice Knights rank of the highest class. Cygnet and Calpurnia are Trumpet Daffodils of most delicate 
beauty. 
New Daffodils not offered in the following List can generally be supplied at 
Advertisers’ prices.

PETER BARR, 
The Great New White Trumpet Daffodil, XXXXX. 
Awarded First-Class Certificate by the Royai Horticultural Society, April 8th, 1902. 
This is without doubt the finest White Trumpet Daffodil yet raised. It is of distinct 
form, having a beautiful pure white shouldered perianth and a large handsome elegant 
trumpet almost pure white. The flower is large and bold, of beautiful symmetry and fine 
substance. It is a strong grower and free bloomer, with handsome deep bluish green foliage. 
{See Illustration, page 9.) 
Bxtpact from “Oapdenep’s Chponicle,” May Srd, 1902. 
“ Peter Barr is not the only white Ajax or large trumpet variety that has been raised, but it is 
certainly the best and much the best. ... In colour the flower is described as white, but it must be 
understood that by this is not meant the pure white which is seen in Narcissus Poeticus. No trumpet 
Daffodil is yet so pure, but Peter Barr is the very palest sulphur-white, the perianth being a shade purer 
than the trumpet, and the whole whiter than any existing Ajax variety. It is said to have been raised 
from Monarch and Madame De Graaff, and will be a fitting memorial of a man whose life has been spent 
in developing and popularising the Daffodil. It blooms a day or two later than mid-season.”
