BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917. 
DIVISION III. — BARRII. 
Short-Cupped Daffodils, or Star Narcissi. 
(Including; those hitherto classed as Burbidgei.) 
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTER.— Cup or crown measuring 
LESS THAN ONE TIURD THE LENGTH OF THE PERIANTH SEGMENTS. 
All the varieties have yellow or white perianth and 
yellow or red-stained cups. 
For a long time trouble was being experienced in the 
placing of certain new seedlings under the Barrii and Bur- 
bidgei sections, as the two divisions ran so much into one 
another. The revising cominiltce therefore decided to make 
only one section of them, retaining the name Barrii. 
Tlie chaste beauty of these shorter-cupped Narcissi is 
the more highly appreciated when the cut flowers are seen 
arranged in vases. The brilliancy of colouring in the cups of 
some, and the dainty elegance of others, render them all more 
or less valuable exhibition flowers. The cheaper kinds we 
can strongly recommend for beds and borders, and for natural- 
ising in grass, woodlands, wild gardens, etc.
