BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1918. 
1NCOMPARABILIS LUCIFER. 
DIV. II. — I NC0MPARAB1 LIS. 
Large Chalice-Cupped Daffodils or Star 
Narcissi. 
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERS. — Cup or crown measuring 
FROM ONE-THIRD TO NEARLY THE LENGTH OF THE PERIANTH SEGMENTS. 
All the varieties have yellow or white perianth and 
yellow or red-stained cups. 
These beauliful Star Narcissi commence flowering in March, 
and furnish a succession of bloom throughout April. All are of 
elegant beauty, and as cut flowers are extensively used for fur- 
nishing vases and table bouquets. For this purpose they should 
be grown in quantity in boxes and forced for early bloom (see 
pages I & 2). They make charming pot plants, while in beds and 
borders they are very showy and naturalised in grass they produce 
a graceful effect. We illustrate Lucifer as an example of a flower 
in this Division.
