BARRII NARCISSUS, BI-COLOR—Continued. 
LADY KESTEVEN (Backhouse-De Graaff) 1933 — This is un- 
doubtedly one of the very finest Barriis introduced by us. Words fail 
to describe this wonderful daffodil adequately. Suffice it to say that 
the perianth is pure white, well formed and substantial and that the 
cup is of the very deepest red ever seen in a daffodil. We are very 
proud of the fact that we can introduce this beautiful daffodil to the 
United States, and though as yet it is too expensive to be forced for 
shows, we hope in a few years to be able to distribute it more freely. 
We believe that this is one of the most promising Barriis for hybridizing 
purposes, especially since the color does not seem to fade in the sun.

PEKING (De Graaff) 1935 — When we first saw this flower we 
wanted to call it Perfection. In its type it is the most perfect flower we 
have as yet raised. Generally speaking it is like Masterpiece, though 
about twice as large in all proportions. The perianth is perfectly 
rounded, more so than in any other Barrii. The cup is rather flat, 
nicely ribbed and of the very deepest reddish orange. While the 
stems are not exceptionally tall, the whole plant is so beautifully bal- 
anced that we recommend Peking most strongly to all hybridizers.... 
PELLEAS (De Graaff) 1934—Perfectly formed flowers, borne on a 
tall stem. Perianth overlapping and glistening white, cup yellow with
