Culture and Adaptation of the Daffodil Outdoors.

Soil and its Treatment. — The Daffodil will thrive in any ordinary garden soil, but prefers
a deep, rather moist sandy loam. When the soil is of a dry and sandy nature, it should be deeply dug, if
possible a season previous to planting the bulbs, well-decayed cow manure being added, and a vegetable
or annual crop grown on the ground. Before the bulbs are planted a sprinkling of quick-lime should
be spread on the surface and dug in. If it is not convenient to first take off a crop of Vegetables or
Annuals, then, in digging, mix with the soil crushed bones at the rate of i-J oz. to the square yard. The
ammoniacal properties of stable manure are injurious to the Daffodil ; if used, therefore, it should be placed
well below the bulb. On good retentive loamy soils a dressing of lime may be given every three years,
with an annual dressing of Basic Slag, at the rate of oz. to the square yard.

Freshly dug Soil should be allowed to stand vacant two to three weeks before planting, to allow
the ground to settle down, otherwise the freshly planted bulbs are sometimes drawn under considerably
below their proper depth, and the bloom in consequence is apt to be weakened and retarded the first season.

The Best and Safe.st Manures to use are Crushed Bones, Dissolved Bones, Basic Slag, or
Phytobroma applied at planting time, and mixed with the soil ; the Crushed or Dissolved Bones at the
rate of 6 cwt. to the acre, or 2 oz. to the square yard, and Basic Slag at the rate of l ton to the acre,
or 7j oz. to the square yard. We recommend for light soils Crushed Bones in preference to Basic Slag.
On very poor and dry sandy soils we recommend in addition Sulphate of Potash, to be sprinkled
annually in the autumn over the surface of the ground, after planting, at the rate of 2 cwt. to the acre, or
about J oz. to the square yard. The potash not only increases the depth of colour in the flowers, but also
helps to hold moisture in the soil, an essential condition to the perfect development of the Daffodil.
In the case of bulbs which have not been lifted we recommend a top dressing (well hoed in) of Phytobroma
or Dissolved Bones in November and again in January or early February, at the rate of 3 oz. to the square
yard. /V;V« /.is/ of Manures will be found on page 32.

In Early Spring, as soon as the Daffodils begin to show above ground, the surface .soil should be
well broken with a hoe, to sweeten it after the heavy winter rains ; a handy tool for this purpose will be
found offered on page 31. Where practicable it is advisable to cover the ground in November with some
light covering material, such as peat-fibre, pulled heather, cut furze, or gorse, or even old pea sticks laid
across the ground ; stable manure is not a good mulch for Daffodils. The primary object of a mulch is to
prevent the autumn rains hardening the crust of the ground and to break the severity of a sudden frost.

Planting and Lifting. — The best time to plant, to obtain the finest flowers, is early
Autumn (as early as possible), allhough bulbs may be pul in as tale as Ckrislmas with fairly satisfactory
results ; we have planted some Daffodils as late as the second week in February, and had some very good
blooms in May. We recommend, however, early planting for best results. The bulbs may be left undis-
turbed for years in ordinary good loamy soils, but on poor or light soils they are better lifted every two
years, as soon as the foliage has died down, replanting the best bulbs eilher immediately or as early as
convenient. Never plant when the ground is wet and sticky. Do not put silver sand around the bulbs
of Narcissi except in the case of the Bulbocodium varieties.

Depth to Plant. — The average depth to plant is from 2 to 3 inches, that is to say, a covering
of 2 to 3 inches of soil. As the bulbs vary considerably in size, according to the relative varieties, the
best rule to go by is the bulb itself, which should be covered with soil once and a half its own depth,
measuiing the bulb from the collar of its neck to its actual base. On light sandy soils the bulbs may be
planted a trifle deeper than on heavy stiff soils, and in the North of England and in cold localities they
should be put in a little deeper than in the warmer southern districts.

BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917.

Culture &nd Adaptation of the Daffodil OMidoors— continued.

QrOilping^ 'for Effect. — To oblain the best efTect, DafTodils should be planted in large groups
of irregular outline, each group or clump to contain one variety only ; avoid straight lines, circles, and
symmetrical designs. Masses of Daffoilils should always appear in the Hardy Mower border, where
irregular and efTcctive sweeps can be planted between the clumps of herbaceous plants which in their
turn grow up and hide as well as shelter the DafTodil foliage while it is going to rest. In grouping
Daffodils the season of flowering should be !)orne in mind, as the varieties bloom in succession from the
end of February to the end of May, during which period, by a judicious selection, a constant succession
of flowers can be maintained. On page lo wc denote the rotation of blooming.

Natural ising^ Daffodils in Grass, Etc. — All Daflbdils may be planted in grass
with perfect success. To produce the best efi'ect, the three groups should be kept separate : thus the Star
Narcissi should not be mi.xcd with the Great Trumpets, nor Poet’s Narcissi with the Star Narcissi. In
planting, make the breaks large and bold, scatteiing the bulbs over the ground broadcast with the hand,
and planting them where they fall. Daffodils never look more beautiful than when growing on
grassy slopes or banks, and \ve strongly recommend our customers to avail themselves of such situations
for naturalising Dafl'odils. In planting under trees, avoid places where the drip from the branches is
greatest, also where the main roots of the trees come close to the surface.

Method of Planting Daffodils in Grass. — Wc recemmend for this work our Special Bulb
Planter {see page 31). By the use of this implement the trouble of planting bulbs in grass is reduced to
a minimum. It takes out a clean, circular piece of turf 2 to 2 \ inches in diameter, and of suflicient depth.
On making the second hole this piece of turf is released from the planter and lies ready on the ground to
cover the bulb with. l‘he soil is not in any way tightly pressed and made hard, which is the case when
an ordinary dibber is used, and the appearance of the grass is not spoilt ; in fact, after planting 10,000
bulbs with this tool on a greensward, one could hardly detect that the grass had been touched. If the
ground is poor, a compost of fresh soil with an abundance of Crushed Bones (7 lbs. to a bushel) or
P^hytobroma (3 lbs. to bushel) should be made and a little of the compost dropped into each hole before
jdacing in the bulb, a little more should be given as a covering, and then the sod of turf be replaced and
pressed down. 'I'hc bulbs will then be given a fair start in their new quarters.

The Best Time for Planting in Grass is with the advent of the autumn rains^ when the ground
is in a fairly moist condition.

CUTTING DAFFODILS FOR HOUSE DECORATION AND EXHIBITION.

To obtain very fine blooms Daffodils should be cut in a young state, just when the bud is bursting,
placed in water and allowed lo expand in a greenhouse or sitting-room. The blooms opened in this
way are larger and finer in texture and purer in colour than those which develop out of doors.

Culture of Daffodils in Pots or Boxes.

Time of Potting. — Pot as early in autumn as possible to obtain the finest results and earliest blooms.

The best Comto.st to pot Daflodils in is a mixture of two-thirds good fibrous loam, and one-
third old decayed leaf soil, with a sprinkling of sharp silyer sand, adding lbs of bone meal or i lb.
Pbylobroina {see page 31) to every bushel of soil, which mix well together befoic using. In all cases the
soil used should be fresh and sweet ; never pot in soil that is wet or sticky. In order to destroy all
injuiious insect life it is a good plan to sterilise potting soil before adding the Phytobroma or boncmeal ;
wc recommend for this purpo.se the Kondine Soil. Steiumser, ]>ricc 45/- (full paiticulars on application),
or small quantities of soil can be sterilised in a sack by pouring over it a large kettle of boiling water and
then spreading out The soil lo dry.

The Pots should be carefully washed and allowed to dry before using; new pots shoukl be well
soake<l. N<ver pot in dirty or wet pots.

CiOOl) Drainage should be secured by placing three or more pieces of charcoal (in preference to
broken crocks) over the drainage hole, covering the charco.al or crocks with a little rough fibre from the
loam. When boxes arc used, the slit at bottom of box should be covered with pieces of charcoal, a
good la^cr of rough fibrous loam or leaf soil placed at bottom of box to ensure perfect drainage.

Covering the Bulbs. — The larger bulbs need not be quite covered with soil, the level of which
shoidd be half an inch below the rim of the pot to allow of watering when the bulbs are in growth.
Bulbs of the miniature species should be covered with half an inch of soil.

After fotting, stand the pots or boxes out.side in the open, on a firm bottom such as a bed of
ashes or a gravel path lo prevent the entrance of worms. They should then be surrounded and com-
pletely covered with Peat-fibie, or old decayed leaf soil (ashes are daitgcroiis, as being often veiy
poisonous), the top of the pot^ being 2 inches below the surface of the covering material. This will
secure a natural and moist condition to the bulbs and encourage root action. So long as the pots remain
buried they will require no watering.

BARR & SONS, 11, 12 & 13 King Street, Covent Garden, London.
Culture of Daffodils in Pots or Boxes — conlinued.

Tiik pots SIIOUU) REMAIN Pi.UNGEU for a period of not less than twelve weeks, after which
fird-early sorts (marked i in catalogue), such as Kxcei.sior, Coi.i.kn Sniu. IIknky Irving, King
Am.r1(i.,^Orvau,aris, cic., may be (ransferred to a greenhouse where the night temperature does nol
exceed 55 and that of the day 0o°. A higher temperature should not be given if well-developed blooms
arc expected. If the pots are t.iken into a sitting-room they should be kept during the day in a sunny
window and at all times protected from draughts and gas heat. Later-llowcring Daffodils (marked in
catalogue 2, 3, and 4) should be brought into warmth later and in succession, thus sorts marked 4 should
not be removed from the plunging bed until February or March. No Daffodils will bear hard forcing
or bottom heat. After the bulbs are out of the plunging bed, give the plants as much light and air as
passible, and once a week a very little weak lirjuid manure water until they come into bloom.

Of the stronger growing sorts use three bulbs for a 4§ to 6 inch pot ; of the miniature kinds, such as
Minimus, Nanus, Minor, Cyclamineus, Triandrus, Juncifoliiis, and biilhocodiums, use twelve to eighteen
bulbs for a 4. J to 6-inch pot. These small-flowered dwarf growing sjiecies are most charming in pots or
little shallow pans. The following may be had in bloom in January :-Miniinus, Minor, Nanus, and
Cyclamineus, and these may be mingled with Scilla sibirica and Chionodoxas, as both bloom at the same
period and produce a charming contrast. The White Hoop Petticoat Narcissus should be potted in
almost pure sand kept well moist, and if placed at once in a cold frame after potting may be had in bloom
by Christmas.

If Daffodils are wanted in quantity for cutting early in the season, plant thickly in boxes, giving
same culture as recommended above for growing in pots. See varieties for early forei»s, pa^e 4.

CULTURE OF DAFFODILS IN BOWLS
In Barr’s New Peat-fibre Mixture.

A charming effect can be obtained by growing Daffodils
in fancy vases or bowls, with or without drainage boles, by
using our Peat-fibre Mixture, which is light, clean, and nice to
handle, and remains sweet ; it is preferable to soil where
Daffodils and other bulbs are grown in bowls and v.ases.

Culture.— Fill the vase or bowl with the Fibre Mixture up
to within a little below the rim, and plant the bulbs in the same
manner as with ordinary potting soil, just covering them ; the
mixture may be shaken down into pl.ace after pl.anting and
lightly watered, but should not be pressed down tightly, or the
bulbs will be forced uiiwards when root growth commences.
After planting, either of the following plans may be adopted : —
(n) The bowls or vases may be placed outdoors and covered
entirely with Peat-fibre, leaving them thus for 10 to 12 weeks,
when the bulbs will have made some toj) grow'th.

(i) Or the bowls m.ay be plunged in a cold frame, airy cellar,
or out-house instead of outdoors ; with this treatment, however,
it w ill be necessary to occasionally give water.

(f) A third plan is to place the bowls after potting in a dark or moderately dark airy place, cool but
not too cold ; they must not be [ilaced in a close cupboard or the bulbs will certainly suffer.

In the case of bowls plunged outdoors there will be no need to give any attention in the way of
watering, etc., as they will, of course, have abundance of moisture from the autumn rains.

Where, however, the bulbs are not exposed to the rain, the bowls .should be examined once
or twice a week, care being taken that the fibre mixture is kept uniformly damp ; but for the first
week or two after planting water should be given very sparingly, sufficient only to keep the fibre damp
enough to encourage root action. As soon as the bulbs are well rooted, water should be given more
freely, the fibre mixture being then kept quite moist ; if the mixture is allowed at any time to become dry,
even for a day, the buds will go blind ; should by any chance loo much water have been given, the bowls
may be drained by carefully lipping them on their side. If obtainable rain water is the best to use.

When the bulbs have made some lop growth the bowls should be removed to the sunny window of a
siiung room, where they will gel the morning sun, or be kept in a cool greenhouse close to the gl.ass, it
being nece.ssary that they should be given sufficient light and air to prevent the foliage from becoming
drawn. Draughts and gas heat must be carefully avoided.

No bottom heat should be given, and a temperature of 55° to 60° by day and 50° to 55° by night is
sufficient to obtain good blooms; the bulbs resent too warm a temperature.

Miniature Daffodils for the “ Rock Garden.”

The following are charming little subjects for rockwork, where their dainty flowers are seen to
perfection. They should be left undisturbed for years, and, if happy, will soon establish themselves
and afTord a lovely picture in early spring. All the Bulbocodiums (except monophyllus') and Cyclamineus
like moisture, and should therefore be planted at the foot of the rockery. Bulbocodium monophyllus
flourishes in a warm dry sheltered situation, planted in almost pure sand; when coming into bloom
give water freely. Triandrus albus (^Ansel's Tears') and fimcifolius delight in partial shade an<l a light
gritty soil, and should be given a well-drained position. In the case of these Miniature Daflbdils,
the ground may be carpeted with close-growing surface-rooting plants, such as Arenaria ccespitosa,
'Thymus serpyllum vats., T. lanu!;inosus, L/erniaria glabra. Mossy Sajcifragas, etc. ■, these plants provide a
natural protection for these little bulbs, besides keeping their dainty blooms from being splashed and soiled
in rainy weather. We prefer, however, seeing these little gems peeinng out of grass, and can supply seed
of suitable fine dwarf grasses for sowing in September after planting the bulbs; this sowing will give a
fine green carpet by the following spring when the Narcissi bloom.

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, Caedmon, Caesar, Challenger, Coral Queen, Dell, Elgiva, Empire,
Golden Chief, Jasper, Lewis Carrol, Red Beacon, Ringdove, Ruby, Sheba,
St. Olaf, Socrates, Timon, and Mrs. D. V. West — all of great beauty.

In 1910 we purchased from Mr. Charles Dawson (who has given up growing Dtiffodils)
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 been awarded for New Seedlings the Engleheart Challenge Cup by the Royal
Horticultural Society as First Prize for Twelve Best Seedling Daffodils not in commerce,
the Walter Ware Challenge Cup for the Best New Triandrus Hybrids (Midland Daffodil
Society), and the Standard Cup (R. H. S.) for 12 New Seedlings.

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.

BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917.

Barr’s General List of Daffodils.

For Alphabetical Index, see p. 2 of Cover. New Seedling; Varieties, p. 7.

Classification.— In the following [lages we have practically adopted the 1910
classification of the R.H S. Narcissus Committee which we hope will be of assistance
to exhibitors of Daffodils and to amateurs who desire to make a selection of distinct
types. As will be seen, 10 distinct divisions have been made together with a section
(Div. XI.) at the end to take in a few unclassed species and hybrids. With each
division we have given its distinguishing character.

Time of Flowering.— The relative period of flowering of the different varieties
out of doors we have denoted by means of numbers after the names, (i) being the
earliest, (6) being the latest.

Height. — In most cases we give also the heights in inches as recorded at our
Nurseries.

Quality of Flower. — Each season we go carefully over our Daffodil collection
with a view to recording the quality of each variety. This we indicate by x, xx, xxx,
and xxxx, giving the most marks to those We judge to be the finest. We trust this
record may be found useful to amateurs in making their selections.

Cultural Marks. — * The varieties marked thus * thrive best under the shade of
deciduous trees, naturalised in grass in shady nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north.

t indicates those kinds which should be selected where Daffodils are grown in pots
or for exhibition j they are, however, in most cases also splendid border varieties.

§ indicates those Daffodils which, besides being fine border plants, make a pretty
effect when naturalised in grass; they are all strong growers and free bloomers.

Division i. — T rumpet daffodils.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTEK.— Trumpet or crown as long as or longer than the perianth segments.

yellow; height about 3 inches, flowering outdoors in February; a dainty little gem for
edgings, nooks on rockwork, or to naturalise in grass, and for pot culture. It thrives in
warm sandy soils. In 1887, during a tour in Spain, the late Mr. Peter Barr found this
charming miniature Daffodil growing freely amongst gorse, with a south aspect. ll''e

(B) White Trumpet Daffodils.

Yarieties with White Perianth and White or nearly White Trumpet.

Most of the Daffodils in this section thrive best in fibrous virgin loam, mixed with well-
decayed leaf-soil; generally speaking they dislike manure; where, however, the soil is very poor,
bone-meal or basic slag may be used (for full directions, see page i). The varieties marked thus * thrive
best in the shade of deciduous trees, naturalised in shady grassy nooks, or on grassy slopes facing north.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERS.— Cup of crown measuring

FROM ONE'THIRD TO NEARLY THE LENGTH OF THE PERIANTH SEGMENTS.

All the varieties have yellow or white perianth and
yellow or red-stained cups.

These beautiful Star Narcissi commence flowering in March,
and furnish a succession of bloom throughout April. All are of
elegant beauty, and as cut flowers are extensively used for fur-
nishing vases and table bouquets. For this purpose they should
be grown in quantity in boxes and forced for early bloom [see
page 2). They make charming pot plants, while in beds and
borders they are very showy and naturalised in grass they produce
a graceful effect. U'e illustrate Lucifer as an example of a flower
in this Division.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

As there will be no French or Dutch Hyacinths available this season in consecjucnce of war
restrictions, we would specially draw our customers’ attention to the suitability of Daffodils and
Narcissi for maintaining a supply of flowers indoors during the winter months. In addition to the
Karly Polyanthus Narcissi offered on page 26, which give bloom from December, there are the Early
^'),pwefing Daffodils (all suitable for gentle forcing), a list of which is given on page 4,

BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917.

DIVISION III. — BARRII.

Short-Cupped Daffodils, or Star Narcissi.

(Including; those hitherto classed as Burbidgei.)

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTER.— Cup or crown measuring

LESS THAN ONE TIURD THE LENGTH OF THE PERIANTH SEGMENTS.

All the varieties have yellow or white perianth and
yellow or red-stained cups.

For a long time trouble was being experienced in the
placing of certain new seedlings under the Barrii and Bur-
bidgei sections, as the two divisions ran so much into one
another. The revising cominiltce therefore decided to make
only one section of them, retaining the name Barrii.

Tlie chaste beauty of these shorter-cupped Narcissi is
the more highly appreciated when the cut flowers are seen
arranged in vases. The brilliancy of colouring in the cups of
some, and the dainty elegance of others, render them all more
or less valuable exhibition flowers. The cheaper kinds we
can strongly recommend for beds and borders, and for natural-
ising in grass, woodlands, wild gardens, etc.

DIVISION IV. — LEEDSll.

Eucharis-flowered or Silver-White
Fragrant Star Narcissi.

Comprising all Star Narcissi (large chalice-cupped
and short-cupped) which have pure white or silvery
white perianth segments and cup or crown white,
cream, buff-orange, apricot or pale citron.

In ihe working out of the new classification, the revising
eommittee felt that it would be unwise to break up this section
and distribute it among the Incomparabilis and Barrii forms,
seeing how distinct a “colour” section it was, and how well
known to all Daffodil growers.

These chaste and beautiful Daffodils are highly prized for
indoor decoration, while to cut for bouquets their fragrant
(lowers are greatly in demand. Plant 3 or 5 bulbs in a 5-inch
pot. In flower beds and borders Ibey are most charming, while
naturalised in grass they produce a lovely effect.

TRIANURUS A1.BUS ON ROCKWORK.

DIV. V. — TRIANDRUS and

Triandrus Hybrids.

Under this division are placed Triandrus varieties and all
hybrids obviously containing Triandrus blood, such as Queen of
Spain (a wild Triandrus Hybrid), Agnes Harvey, J. T. Bennctt-
Poe, Madonna, etc.

The introduction of Triandrus blood in hybridising has resulted
in such a very distinct group of hybrids that the Classification
Committee of the R.H.S. deemed it advisable to make one section of
them. For grace and beauty they are unsurpassed. We recommend
them being given a situation partly shaded by trees, and if a little
very fine dwarf grass seed is sown amongst them, the beauty of their
flowers is enhanced. Once planted they may remain undisturbed for
years.

BARR’S GOLD MEDAL DAFFODILS, 1917.

NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS.

The Cyclamen-flowered Daffodils with reflexing perianth.

Tub dainty littI-B “Angel’s Tears” Dafkodii. (Triandrus a/iiis) was found by the lale Mr.
Peter liarr on tile mountains of Portugal and Spain, growing in very hard, firm, fine gritty soil, sometimes
in the narrowest fissures of granite and slatestone rocks. All in this section make lovely little pot plants
(three or more bulbs in a pot), and grown thus should be given cold frame culture. Kstablished on
rockwork they form a picture full of grace and beauty. They prefer shade, a gritty soil, and a well-drained
position.

fTriandrus albus (3), an exquisitely beautiful little species, appropriately called p,,,. ^^,,1,

the “Angel's Tears” Daffodil, of slender growth, and produces a cluster of elegant s, </. s. d
little creamy white flowers with globular cup and perianth reflexing as in the Cyclamen,
ht. 7 in. We usually have a small supply of this little Daffodil collected each year for us,
but owing to the war we have been unable to obtain any this year. We have therefore to
rely upon the few home-grown bulbs we have 5 6 ' -0 6

fTriandrus calathinus (3). One of the most beautiful little Daffodils in
f existence. The flowers, which are produced in drooping clusters of two or three, ate
snowy white, and more than twice the sire of Triandrus albus, with long goblet-
shaped crown prettily fluted ; the foliage has a curious habit of curling over, ht. 7 in.

For pot culture and rockwork it is a perfect gem. The late Mr. Peter Barr collected
this rare Daffodil some years ago on one of the Glenan Isles, the collecting being attended
with a good deal of risk. Unfortunately it is no longer to be found there, the sea

having washed away all trace of it, but we have been able to successfully raise it from seed — ...3 6

fTriandrus pulchellus (4), producing elegant clusters of flowers like Triandrus
concolor, but the perianth is primrose and the cup white, a very scarce and beautiful little
Daffodil, ht. 9 in — ...2 6

NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS.

Of these Queen of Spain is a natural hybrid of Triandrus albus and a wild trumpet Daffodil.
The other varieties have all been produced by using Triandrus albus or calathinus pollen on trumpet
and other Daffodils. They form a distinct class, having flowers more or less drooping, of elegant form and
graceful habit, clearly showing their Triandrus parentage.

§tQueen of Spain (3), xxx, found by the late Mr. per doz. each^
Barr in Spain. One of the most beautiful, distinct, and ‘
graceful Daffodils in cultivation, and unsurpassed either for
bedding, pot or vase culture, or for naturalising in wood-
lands, etc. The flowers vary slightly in size, but all are
of a uniform soft, delicate, clear yellow, with a gracefully
reflexing perianth, trumpet of distinct and elegant form,
ht. 12 in. Naturalised in grass under trees, this Daffodil
forms a delightful feature in the garden. It also adapts
itself readily to bowl culture in the Peat-fibre mixture, and
grown thus affords an artistic decoration for the sitting-room.

Having been unable to collect any of this Daffodil in its
native habitat this year owing to the war, we have to fall
back upon the fno home-grown bulbs we have ...per 100, 25/- 3 6...0 4

Division VI. — Cyclamineus.

NARCISSUS CYCLAMINEUS ESTAULISIIED
ON ROCKWORK.

Cyclamineus (i), the Yellow Cyclamen-

flowered Daffodil.

This beautiful little Daffodil was re-introduced into
cultivation in 1887 by A. W. Tait, Esq., of
Oporto, after being lost sight of for 200 to 300
years. It is the earliest of all Daffodils and is a
charming elegant little flower of very distinct
form ; the trumpet is rich yellow, straight and
tube-like, elegantly serrated at mouth, while
the perianth is reflexed as in a Cyclamen.
A valuable little species for pot-culture, edgings,
rockwork, and to naturalise in grass and shady
nooks, or at the water’s edge ; it delights in
a dampish sandy peat soil, lit. 6 in., Fiust-
Class Certifcaif, R.II.S. The war having

Daffodil this year, we have only a few home-
grown bulbs to offer per too, 55/-

NARCISSUS POETAZ— NEW hybrid polyanthus narcissi.

New hybrids of Poeticus Ornatus x Best Forms of Polyanthus Narcissi.

A fine new race of Daffodils, resulting from a cross be-
tween PolHcus ornatus and the finest varieties of Polyanthus
or Bunch-flowered Narcissi, the I’oeticus being the seed-
bearing parent. The plants are tall and vigorous growers,
bearing heads of large well-formed flowers, deliciously fragrant ;
they are much finer and more showy than the old Poly-
anthus Narcissi, and have the advantage of being much
hardier. In pots or the flower border they are very decorative,
while the flowers are highly prized for cutting.

DIVISION IX. — POETICUS— True Poet’s Narcissi.

These “ Poet’s” Daffodils or Narcissi all have snowy white perianth segments or
petals, and a small flattened eye or crown, yellow or lemon edged more or less deeply
with scarlet or crimson, and sometimes almost all scarlet. All are more or less
sweetly scented.

The earlier flowering varieties afford a very beautiful
decoration indoors when grown in pots (5 bulbs in a pot)
or forced. As border plants and naturalised in grass by
themselves the Poet’s Narcissi produce a lovely effect.

Early planting and liberal culture is specially recom-
mended for these Poet’s Daffodils. To obtain tall
stems and fine large flowers they should be grown
in a rich deep soil not too dry. The varieties
having very highly coloured crowns should be cut
young to preserve the fine colouring.

a garden. Sow in September, per lb. 2/9.

Useful Tools for Bulb Planting, Etc.

B&rr S SpCCl&l Bulb Plsintcr (Regd. 548091), specially designed for planting Daffodils and
other bulbs in grass. This tool cuts and lifts a clean circular piece of turf which is released from the
cup when the second hole is made, and lies ready at hand to fill in the holes when the bulbs have been

put in, it being only necessary to remove a little of the
soil from the bottom of the sod. A lime must be chosen
f^ planting when the ground has become softened after
early autumn rains and not when in a hard and baked
condition, as it is then impossible to use this or indeed
any other tool with success. By the use of Barr’s

be planted in a very short time, and without the least
disturbance of the sward. The length of the tool is 38 inches over all, weight about 3^ Ib.s. The
