BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917. 
NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS. 
The Cyclamen-flowered Daffodils with reflexing perianth. 
Tub dainty littI-B “Angel’s Tears” Dafkodii. (Triandrus a/iiis) was found by the lale Mr. 
Peter liarr on tile mountains of Portugal and Spain, growing in very hard, firm, fine gritty soil, sometimes 
in the narrowest fissures of granite and slatestone rocks. All in this section make lovely little pot plants 
(three or more bulbs in a pot), and grown thus should be given cold frame culture. Kstablished on 
rockwork they form a picture full of grace and beauty. They prefer shade, a gritty soil, and a well-drained 
position. 
fTriandrus albus (3), an exquisitely beautiful little species, appropriately called p,,,. ^^,,1, 
the “Angel's Tears” Daffodil, of slender growth, and produces a cluster of elegant s, </. s. d 
little creamy white flowers with globular cup and perianth reflexing as in the Cyclamen, 
ht. 7 in. We usually have a small supply of this little Daffodil collected each year for us, 
but owing to the war we have been unable to obtain any this year. We have therefore to 
rely upon the few home-grown bulbs we have 5 6 ' -0 6 
fTriandrus calathinus (3). One of the most beautiful little Daffodils in 
f existence. The flowers, which are produced in drooping clusters of two or three, ate 
snowy white, and more than twice the sire of Triandrus albus, with long goblet- 
shaped crown prettily fluted ; the foliage has a curious habit of curling over, ht. 7 in. 
For pot culture and rockwork it is a perfect gem. The late Mr. Peter Barr collected 
this rare Daffodil some years ago on one of the Glenan Isles, the collecting being attended 
with a good deal of risk. Unfortunately it is no longer to be found there, the sea 
having washed away all trace of it, but we have been able to successfully raise it from seed — ...3 6 
fTriandrus pulchellus (4), producing elegant clusters of flowers like Triandrus 
concolor, but the perianth is primrose and the cup white, a very scarce and beautiful little 
Daffodil, ht. 9 in — ...2 6 
NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS. 
Of these Queen of Spain is a natural hybrid of Triandrus albus and a wild trumpet Daffodil. 
The other varieties have all been produced by using Triandrus albus or calathinus pollen on trumpet 
and other Daffodils. They form a distinct class, having flowers more or less drooping, of elegant form and 
graceful habit, clearly showing their Triandrus parentage. 
§tQueen of Spain (3), xxx, found by the late Mr. per doz. each^ 
Barr in Spain. One of the most beautiful, distinct, and ‘ 
graceful Daffodils in cultivation, and unsurpassed either for 
bedding, pot or vase culture, or for naturalising in wood- 
lands, etc. The flowers vary slightly in size, but all are 
of a uniform soft, delicate, clear yellow, with a gracefully 
reflexing perianth, trumpet of distinct and elegant form, 
ht. 12 in. Naturalised in grass under trees, this Daffodil 
forms a delightful feature in the garden. It also adapts 
itself readily to bowl culture in the Peat-fibre mixture, and 
grown thus affords an artistic decoration for the sitting-room. 
Having been unable to collect any of this Daffodil in its 
native habitat this year owing to the war, we have to fall 
back upon the fno home-grown bulbs we have ...per 100, 25/- 3 6...0 4
