General List of Barr’s Daffodils. 
{For Alphabetical List of all Varieties offered In Catalogue, 
see page 2 of Cover.) 
The following list of Daffodils embraces the highest class, and most distinct varieties, 
surpassing in beauty and diversity all other assortments offered to the public. They 
represent the cream of our Collection (over 500 kinds), and the best of the newest varieties 
in commeroe up to 1903, several being offered to the public for the first time this season, 
During the past few years we have discarded many of the older kinds which we considered 
had been superseded by better sorts, those which are now offered by us being really good 
and distinct. Those kinds which are marked in this Catalogue " discarded, " can be supplied if required, 
TIME OF FLOWERING, HEIGHT, Etc. 
The relative period of flowering of the different varieties and species out of doors we have denoted 
by means of numbers alter the names, thus ; 
(1) 1 st early, flowering from February to early March. 
(2) 2 nd early, flowering in March. 
(3) Varieties flowering in mid-season, or early in April. 
(4) Late-flowering varieties, from middle to end of April. 
(5) Very late-flowering varieties, opening in May. 
The actual period of bloomirg depends upon the season and district; thus in early districts (i) would 
commence in January and early February, while in colder districts end of February or beginning of March ; 
but the natural rotation would remain the same. 
HEIGHT. — In most cases we give also the heights in inches as recorded at our nurseries this season. 
QUALITY OF FLOWER . — This season we went carefully over our D.iffbdil collection with a view to 
recording the quality of each variety. This we indicated by X, xx, xxx, xxxx, and xxxxx, giving the most 
marks to those we judged to be the finest. The result we have added to this catalogue, trusting it may be 
found a useful record to amateurs. Fhi iet/es which we consider to be superseded we have discarded. 
I»- The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of deciduous trees, naturalised in grass 
in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
|>^ t indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots ; they are, 
however, also good border varieties. 
§ indicates those Daffodils which, besides being fine border plants, make a pretty effect when 
naturalised in grass ; they are all strong growers and free bloomers.
