BARR'S DAFFODILS. 
THE FAVOURITE HARDY FLOWERS OF SPRING. 
DAFFODILS are the most graceful and beautiful of all Hardy Spring Garden Flowers, and' 
withstand uninjured our severest winters better than any other flower. The cut blooms are always accept- 
able, and are in abundance out of doors at a season when other flowers are scarce. They supplement and 
associate admirably with hot-house flowers.

PRESS NOTICES OF BARR^S DAFFODILS, 
Extract from “The Daily Telegraph,” April 24th, 1901. 
"Three weeks ago holiday-makers travelling to the sea by the South-'VVestern Railway missed a most 
prominent and accustomed landmark in the journey. Just beyond Surbiton Station the traveller has gi-own 
to expect a blaze of golden colour, stretching far away in the distance. But at Easter this year there was little- 
else to indicate the coming of the daffodil, the king of the spring, than long stretches of aesthetic green blades.. 
Early last week, however, the cold east winds ceased, and permitted the buds to assert themselves. Coaxed to 
the fulness of their glory, the daffodils at Messrs. Barr's nurseries have now reached the zenith of their short 
existence. 
Most Londoners are familiar with the Long Ditton nurseries, whose autumn catalogues are certain each 
year to embrace several novelties. Lord Roberts, a much prized and magnificent flower, this spring takes 
pride of place. ' Bobs ' is not yet on the market, but his owners presented him at the Royal Horticultural 
Society's Show yesterday for a certificate. Twenty-five guineas will be asked for each bulb of this particular 
bloom when next autumn it is catalogued, but just now it grows in its first regal splendour at Long Ditton alone. 
"That there are daffodils and daffodils is here too forcibly pressed home, for the uninitiated are lost in 
a wilderness of shades, varying from palest primrose to deepest orange, and embracing every tone of apricot 
and lemon. Four times since February Messrs. Barr have taken the highest awards for daffodils at the Royal . 
Horticultural Society's Show, and at Shrewsbury, Truro, Manchester, and Brighton they have won the highest 
distinction.” “
