Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
FOR 1904, 
Including several which are offered for the first time. 
The following list of Daffodils includes the best of the new seedlings recently raised by ourselves 
and others, and purchasers cannot fail to be pleased with them. In point of quality they all rank 
high, while a robust healthy constitution renders them additionally valuable. They will well repay a 
^!>ooU culture by the size and beauty of their flowers. 
Where we have a record, we give in inches the heights as registered at our Ditton Hill Nurseries. 
The relative qualities as we judge them we have indicated by xx, xxx, xxxx, xxxxx, the highest 
quality flower being given the most marks. 
PETER BARR, 
THE KING OF WHITE TRUMPET DAFFODILS, XXXXX.

This is withotit doubt the King of White Trumpet Daffodils. The flower is large and 
bold, of beautiful symmetry and fine substance, with pure white campanulate perianth and 
large handsome white trumpet of elegant outline. It is a strong grower and free bloomer, 
with handsome deep bluish green foliage. Peter Barr was raised at our Ditton Nurseries, and 
was offered for the first time in 1903. FIFTY GUINEAS EACH. See Illustration, page to. 
Extract from “Gardener’s Chronicle,” May 3rd, 1902, 
“ Peter Barr is not the only white Ajax or large trumpet variety that has been raised, but it is 
certainly the best and much the best. ... In colour the flower is described as white, but it must be 
understood that by this is not meant the pure white which is seen in Narcissus Poeticus. No trumpet 
Daffodil is yet so pure, but Peter Barr is the very palest sulphur-white, the perianth being a shade purer 
than the trumpet, and the whole whiter than any existing Ajax variety. It is said to have been raised 
from Monarch and Madame De Graaff, and will be a fitting memorial of a man whose life has been spent 
in developing and popularising the Daffodil. It blooms a day or two later than mid-season.”
