BARR’S Gold Medal Daffodils, 1902. 
General List of Barr’s Daffodils. 
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 commerce up to 1902, 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had been superseded by better sorts, those which are now offered by us being really good 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 ihis Catalogue "discarded, " can be supplied if required. 
THE ORDER OF TIME OF FLOWERING. 
The relative peiiod of llowering of the dill'erent varieties and species out of doors we have denoted 
by means of numhers after the names, lluis : 
(1) 1 st early, flowering from February to early March. 
(2) 2 nd early, llowering 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. 
In most cases we give also the heights in inches as recorded at our nurseries this season. 
FOR ALl’llABKTICAL INDKX of all the varieties offered in the following list, see pagei of Cover. 
The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of deciduous trees, naturalised in grass 
in .shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
J indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots. 
§ 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.
