Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
for 1913. 
T he following list of DafTodils comprises some of the finest novelties, and includes new 
seedlings of our own jaising and many of the best raised by the Rev. G. H. Engleheart> 
the late Rev. G. P. Haydon, Mr. E. M. Crosficld, Mr. J. C. Williams, Mr. 1>. D. Williams, 
Mrs. Backhouse, Mr. Henry Backhouse, Mr. Cave, Mr. Philip Worsley, and Mr. Dawson. 
We would specially draw attention to the following grand e.'chibition kinds : Ariel, Baltleaxe, 
Bloodstone, Caesar, Challenger, Chamois, Citriona, Dresden, Empire, Eros, 
Florizel, Hielios, IcepeaK, Jasper, Lewis Carrol, Marie Louise, Madonna, 
Memory, Mermaid, Messina, Michael, Michael Angelo, Pandora, Red Beacon, 
Ruby, Sir Galahad, Snow King, St. Olaf, Socrates, Timon, Volcano, 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 
beautifiil varieties, and at the same time took over his charming Cornish garden for the 
purpose of raising and rearing new seedlings. We have also transferred our Bulb Nurseries from 
Surbiton to Taplow, where a fine display of Daffodils and Tulips may be seen in Spring. 
Where we have a record, we give in inches the heights as registered at our Nurseries. 
The relative qualities ns we judge them are indicated by xx, xxx, xxxx, the highest quality flower 
being given the most marks. The figures after the n.r.nes indicate the relative period of flowering,
