General List of Barr’s Daffodils. 
For Alphabetical List of all the Varieties offered in this Catalogue, 
see General Index, page 2 of Cover. 
The following list of Daffodils embraces the highest class and most distinct 
varieties, surpassing in beauty and diversity all other assortments offered to the 
public. They represent the cream of our Collection (over 600 kinds), and the best 
of the newest varieties in commerce up to 1908 , several being offered to the public 
for the first time this season. During the past few years we have rejected many 
of the ol der kinds which we considered had been superseded by better sorts at 
equally moderate prices. 
TIME OF FLOWERING, HEIGHT, Etc. 
The relative period of flowering of the different varieties and species out of doors we have denoted 
by means of numbers alter the names, thus : 
(1) 1 st early, flowering from February to early March. 
(2) 2 nd early, flowering in March. 
(3) Varieties flowering in mid season, or early in April 
(4) Late-flowering varieties, from middle to end of April. 
(5) Very late-flowering varieties, opening in May. 
The actual period of blooming depends upon the season and district; thus in early districts (l) would 
commence in January and early February, while in colder districts end of February or beginning of March ; 
but the natural rotation would remain the same. 
Height. — In most cases we give also the heights in inches as recorded at our nurseries. 
Quality of Flower. — Each season we go carefully over our Daffodil collection with a view to 
recording the quality of each variety. This we indicate by x, xx, xxx, xxxx, and xxxxx, giving the most 
marks to those we judge to be the finest. The result we have added to this catalogue, trusting it may be 
found a useful record to amateurs. Vai Uties which we consider to be superseded by better sorts, or which we 
have found to have a poor constitution, we have omitted from the body of our Catalogue. 
|i^ * The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of deciduous trees, naturalised in grass 
in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north. 
t indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots ; they are, 
however, also good border varieties. 
§ indicates those Daffodils which, besides being fine border plants, make a pretty effect when 
naturalised in grass ; they are all strong growers and free bloomers. 
Daffodils omitted from our General List in favour of better sorts of similar character are 
offered at reduced prices on page 37.
