BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1907. 
MORPHIXIA paniculata (syn. Ixia panioulata). 
Lovely little bulbous plants with the same graceful habit as the Ixia, but dwarfer, the flowers 
being long and tubular ; they come into bloom later than the Ixias, and continue in flower a long 
time. These little gems should be given choice sunny spots on rockwork or front border. 
Mixed colours, buff and brick rose, lemon shaded buff, rose and white, per too, 14/6 ; per doz. 2/- 
MUSCARI (Grape, Starch, Musk, and Feathered Hyacinths). 
These lovely Spring Flowers require no special culture or soil. Naturalised on rockwork 
and grassy banks they look very beautiful, while as edgings and massed in the flower border they 
are most charming, and continue a long time in bloom, ht. 4 to 6 inches. We can strongly recom- 
mend them all for naturalisation. 
“ Heavenly Blue,” this lovely variety was sent us some years ago from Trebizond ; per 
the colour is of the brightest and richest shade of gentian-blue imaginable, and large 
masses produce a wonderful effect in the garden from the end of March to May; 
the flowers have a delightful fragrance, and are very valuable for cutting, having long 
stalks, and remaining fresh in water a long time. Awarded a Certificate of Merit hy 
the Royal Botanic Society. (See Illustration, 9.) ...per 1000, 60/- ; per 100, 6/6 i

I-OLYANTHUS NARCISSUS, PAPER-WHITE " SNOWFLAKE.” 
NARCISSUS POLYANTHUS, 
or NOSEGAY DAFFODILS. 
The Polyanthus Narcissi or Nosegay 
Daffodils produce large heads of sweet-scented 
flowers, and are specially adapted for Winter and 
Spring decoration in pots and jardinets, etc. The 
culture is the same as for Hyacinths. For flower 
beds and mixed borders they are great favourites, 
and produce a charming effect. Plant in October 
or November, and at the approach of winter give a 
light covering of long litter or other material to keep 
off severe frosts ; remove the covering in March. 
Where flowers are in demand from November 
to January, the Paper White “ Early Snow- 
flake” and Double Roman Narcissi are of great 
value for forcing with the Roman Hyacinths {see 
Culture, page i).
