Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
for 1911. 
The following list of Daffodils comprises some of the finest novelties, and includes new 
seedlings of our own raising and those of the Rev. G. H. Engleheart, the Rev. G. P. Haydon, 
Mr. J. C. Williams, Mr. P. D. Williams, Mrs. Backhouse, and Mr. E. M. Crosfield, the 
most successful hybridisers of recent years. We would specially draw attention to the 
following grand exhibition kinds : Bedouin, Caesar, Charm, CossacK, Dresden, 
Empire, Eros, Furnace, Jasper, Lewis Carrol, Lord Kitchener, Marie 
Louise, Mermaid, Messina, Michael, Michael Angelo, Mrs. George H. 
Barr, Peter Barr, Red Beacon, Red Chief, Seraphine, Sirdar, Sir Galahad, 
Snow King, Socrates, St. George, Tennyson, Timon, and White Standard- 
all of great beauty. We would mention that we purchased in 1910 from Mr. Charles Dawson 
(who has given up growing Daffodils) his “ Rosemorran” Daffodil seedlings, containing many 
beautiful varieties, and at the same time took over his Daffodil garden for the rearing of our 
new seedling varieties. Visitors at the London and Birmingham Shows will well remember 
the high quality of Mr. Dawson’s “Rosemorran” flowers. We have also now removed from 
our Surbiton Nurseries to Taplow, where in future a fine display of our Daffodils and Tulips 
may be seen in Spring. 
(gy Where we have a record, we give in inches the heights as registered at our Nurseries. 
The relative qualities as we judge them are indicated by xx, xxx, xxxx, the highest quality flower 
being given the most marks. The figures after the names indicate the relative period of flowering,
