BARR’S 
ALPHABETICAL DESCRIPTIVE LIST 
OF 
Bulbs, Tubers, and Plants, 
FOR ALL SEASONS AND CLIMATES. 
In the following pages we give descriptions, as far as space permits, of the various Bulbs, Sic., with 
general notes as to their cultural requirements. The illustrations are mostly reproductions, on a greatly 
reduced scale, of sketches and photographs taken at our Long' Ditton Bulb Nurseries. 
Great care is taken in the selecting of our Bulbs, these being drawn from the best bulb farms 
only. High-class Daffodils and Tulips, &c., also many little rare and beautiful bulbous plants, we are 
ourselves large growers of, and are in a position therefore to select for our customers an extra fine quality. 
DV Those marked thus * ripen late and are sent out from the middle of October 
to March. All other bulbs, &c., are ready for despatch in September. Orders which 
embrace earlier and later ripening bulbs, Sec., will be executed therefore in two parts.
