Barr’s General List of Daffodils 
For Alphabetical Index, 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. It 
represents the cream of our Collection (over 500 kinds), and the best of the newest varieties 
in commerce up to 1913, several being offered to the public for the first time. 
During the past few years we have rejected many of the older kinds which we considered 
had been superseded by better sorts at equally mo derate prices ; we can, however, generally 
supply such if required. 
Time of Flowering. — The relative period of flowering of the different varieties and species 
out of doors we have denoted by means of numbers after the names, thus : 
(1) 1st early, flowering from February to early March. 
(2) 2nd 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 blooming 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. 
Quality of Flower. — Each season we go carefully over our Daffodil collection with a view to 
recording the quality of each variety. This we indicate by x, xx, xxx, and xxxx, giving the most marks 
to those we judge to be the finest. We trust this record may be found useful to amateurs in making 
their selections. 
Cultural Marks. — * 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 he selected where Daffodils are grown in pots or for 
exhibition ; they are, however, in most cases also splendid 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. 
Any Daffodil not offered in this Catalogue we can generally supply, if required.
