Barr’s New Seedling Daffodils 
The following list of Daffodils comprises some of the finest novelties, and includes New 
Seedlings of our own raising and many of the best raised by other hybridists — the Rev. 
G. H. Engleheart, the late Rev. G. P. Haydon, Mr. E. M. Crosfield, Mr. J. C. Williams, 
Mr. P. D. Williams, Mrs. Backhouse, Mr. Henry Backhouse, Mr. Cave, Mr. Philip Worsley, 
and Mr. Dawson. We would specially draw attention to the following grand exhibition kinds : 
Anchorite, Bloodstone, Caedmon, Caesar, Challenger, Coral Queen, Dell, 
Elgiva, Empire, Golden Chief, Helios, Jasper, Lewis Carrol, Madonna, 
Memory, Red Beacon, Ringdove, Royal Lady, Ruby, St. Olaf, Socrates, 
The Geisha, Timon, Tresserve. Volcano, and Wildfire— all of great beauty. 
In 1910 we purchased 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 charming Cornish garden for the purpose of raising and rearing 
new seedlings. We have also transferred our Bulb Nurseries from Surbiton to Taplow, 
where a fine display of Daffodils and Tulips may be seen in Spring. 
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, 
(1) being earliest, (6) being latest.
