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 include the pick of all 
the newest varieties up to 1900, many of which are offered to the public for the 
first time this season. Within the last few years we have discarded many of the 
older kinds which we considered had been superseded by better sorts so that all 
the varieties offered by us are good and distinct. 
THE ORDER OF 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) 2 nd early, flowering in March. 
(3) Varieties flowering in mid-season, or early in April. 
(4) Lat, e-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 (1) 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 shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
G&T 1 indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots. 
SMT” § indicates those Daffodils which, besides being fine border plants, make a pretty effect when 
naturalised in grass ; they arc all strong growers and free bloomers.
