BARR’S New Seedlins DafFodils, 1906. 
n 
Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
for 1906, 
Including several which are offered for the first time. 
The following list of Daffodils includes the best of the new seedlings recently raised by ourselves 
and others, and purchasers cannot fail to be pleased with them. In point of quality they all rank 
high, while a robust healthy constitution renders them additionally valuable. They will well repay a 
good culture by the size and beauty of their flowers. 
Where we have a record, we give in inches the heights as registered at our Surbiton Nurseries. 
The relative qualities as we judge them we have indicated by xx, xxx, xxxx, xxxxx, the highest 
quality flower being given the most marks. The figures after the names indicate the relative period of 
flowering, (i) being earliest, (5) being latest.

Extract from “ Gardener's Chronicle,” May 3rd, 1902. — “Peter Barr is not the only 
white Ajax or large li umpet variety (hat has been raised, but it is certainly the be.st and much the best. 
. . . In colour the flower is ilescribed as white, but it must be understood that by this is not meant 
the pure white which is seen in Narcissus I’oeticus. No trumpet Daffodil is yet so pure, but Peter Barr 
is the very palest sulijhur-while, the perianth being a shade purer than the trumpet, and the whole whiter 
than any existing Ajax variety. It is said to have been raised from Monarch and Madame De Graalf, 
and will be a fitting memorial of a man whose life has been spent in developing and popularising the 
Daffodil. It blooms a day or two later than mid-season.”
