POET’S DAFFODILS, or SMALL-CUPPED STAR NARCISSI, in Mixture, including early flowering 
Poeticus and varieties of Burbidgei, for Naturalisation in grass, etc. For cutting, the flowers are 
greatly prized. Of these Poet’s Narcissi Mr. William Robinson writes, referring to Gravetye : “ Five 
years ago I cleared a little valley of various fences. Through this runs a streamlet, and we grouped 
the Poet's Narcissus near it, and in a little orchard that lay near, and through a grove of oaks. This 
year the whole landscape was a picture, such as one might see in an Alpine valley”

BARR’S MINIATURE DAFFODILS FOR THE 
“ROCK GARDEN.” 
The following are charming little subjects for roclcwork, where their dainty (lowers are seen to 
perfection. They should be left undisturbed for years, and, if happy, will soon establish themselves and 
afford a lovely picture in early spring. All the Corbularias (except Corlmlaria monopkylla) like moisture, 
and should therefore be planted at the foot of the rockery. Cyclamineus also likes moisture and partial 
shade. Corbularia monophylla flourishes in a warm dry sheltered situation, and should be given a hot 
sunny nook, planted in almost pure sand ; when coming into bloom give water freely. Triandrus albus 
(^Angel's Tears) and Juiicifolius delight in partial shade and a light gritty soil, and should be given a 
well-drained position such as a sloping bank. In the case of these slender dwarf-growing Miniature 
Daffodils, the ground may be carpeted with close-growing surface rooting plants, such as Arenaria 
caspitosa. Thymus serpylhim vars., T. lanuginostis-, Herniaria glabra. Mossy Haxifragas, etc. ; these plants 
provide a natural protection for these little bulbs, besides keeping their dainty blooms from being splashed 
and soiled in rainy weather. We prefer, however, seeing these little gems peeping out of grass, and 
where special banks are made or reserved for them we can supply seed of suitable fine dwarf grasses for 
sowing in September after planting the bulbs ; this sowing will give a fine green carpet by the following 
spring when the Narcissi bloom.
