BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917. 
Barr’s General List of Daffodils. 
For Alphabetical Index, see p. 2 of Cover. New Seedling; Varieties, p. 7. 
Classification.— In the following [lages we have practically adopted the 1910 
classification of the R.H S. Narcissus Committee which we hope will be of assistance 
to exhibitors of Daffodils and to amateurs who desire to make a selection of distinct 
types. As will be seen, 10 distinct divisions have been made together with a section 
(Div. XI.) at the end to take in a few unclassed species and hybrids. With each 
division we have given its distinguishing character. 
Time of Flowering.— The relative period of flowering of the different varieties 
out of doors we have denoted by means of numbers after the names, (i) being the 
earliest, (6) being the latest. 
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 be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots 
or for exhibition j 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. 
Division i. — T rumpet daffodils.
