General List of Barr’s Daffodils. 
For Alphabetical List of all the Varieties offered in this Catalogue, 
see General Index, page 2 of Cover. 
The following list of Daffodils embraces the highest class, and most distinct varieties, 
surpassing in beauty and <liversity 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 1904, 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had been superseded by better sorts, those which are now offered by us being really good 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 this Caiaiogue "discarded, " can be suppiied if required, 
TIME OF FLOWERING, HEIGHT, Etc. 
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, xxxx, and xxxxx, giving the most 
marks to those we judge to be the finest. The result we have added to this catalogue, trusting it may be 
found a useful record to amateurs. Varieties which we consider to he superseded we have discarded. 
* 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 be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots ; they are, 
however, also good 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.
