BARR'S HARDY DAFFODILS, AND WHAT THE GARDENING PAPERS SAY OF THEM. 



BAR R’S 

HARDY DAFFODILS, DAFFADILLIES, DAFFODOWNDILLIES. 

Awarded the only Gold Medal of the Daffodil Conference, held in the Chiswick Gardens of 
the Royal Horticultural Society, April 16th to 18th, 1890. 

Extract from “ The Gardeners ’ Magazine,” 19tli April, 1890. 

The Editor remarks, “ Daffodils will never cease to give delight, will never cease to he collected, and cultivated, 
and exhibited, and talked about, for, with all our wealth of hardy spring flowers, this group of beauties is unequalled 
for splendour of appearance, and all the qualities of a spring flower that engage the moral nature in a Berios of whole- 
some sympathies, to augment the delight that begins in the eye. A purgation of the varieties might seriously check 
collecting ; but it would not diminish the beauty of these flowers, or impose a limit on the world’s enjoyment of them. 

“ An incident of recent occurrence, of which wo have cognizance at first hand, may be brought to bear On this 
grave question of reducing the number of varieties by severe selections. A gentleman universally respected for his 
knowledge, judgment, and taste in matters horticultural, demanded of a cultivator of Narcissi, assistance in making 
a selection of the very, very best, and the response was in a proper spirit. The cultivator consigned to one of his 
side pockets one hundred blank labels, the other saying that a dozen would be enough. When a variety had been 
solected as one of the very, very best, the name was written on one of the labels, and Ibis was consigned to another 
side pocket. The inspection and selection proceeded pleasantly ; the critical visitor iu the free flow of his admiration 
forgot the limits he had proposed, and thus many very best flowers were made a note of, and the labels passed at a 
regular pace from the right hand pocket to the left. But now the business halted, for the trader said a fresh supply 
of blank labels would be required, and must be sent for, the visitor having already selected one hundred of the very, 
very best, while a considerable portion of the collection still remained for inspection. The auti-climax tells its 
own tale, and may serve as a warning, that to select a dozen, or even fifty, of the very best Daffodils, is a business 
more easily talked of than performed.” 

Extract from “The Gardeners' Chronicle,” April 12th, 1890. 

“THE DAFFODIL KING.” 

“There will be few, if any, who will be disposed to question the right of Mr. Peter Bnrr fo this designation. 
Previous to his accession, Dalfodils were few in number. Gerard and Parkinson and Dr. Hill [Hale’s Eden] knew a few 
varieties. Later on Haworth entered the arena. Dean Herbert, whose merits as a botanist are bettor appreciated by 
his successors than they were by his contemporaries, experimented with them. Leeds and Backhouse and Nelson 
won repute a9 hybridists. But in spite of these labourers, those who can look back twenty or twenty-five years will 
remember that the sorts generally known and cultivated could bo counted by units, whereas scores or even hundreds 
would now be required. What originally induced Mr. Barr to take up the subject we do not know ; certain it is that, 
he has taken it up with the indomitable zeal of an enthusiast. Putting commercial considerations on one side, as of 
secondary importance, he, though a man of business, has allowed himself to bo governed by his love of Daffodils, and 
has spared neither labour nor money in their collection. He has made long and tedious journeys iu rough countries 
in quest of his favourite plants. On these occasions his couch has not seldom been the rock, the sky his coverlet. 
Nor has collection been his only aim. Study of their peculiarities has been, and is, a perfect passion with him. Obser- 
vation and research are continually increasing his store of knowledge, for truly nothing relating to Daffodils is 
foreign to Mr. Barr. 

“ Those who see the fields of Daffodils in tho neighbourhood of London, inspect the piles iu the markets or in the 
florists’ shops, or admire the displays made at tho several spring exhibitions, should remember with gratitude the 
name of Peter Barr. It is ho who created this now vast trade ; it is he who stimulated it ; it is he who has added so 
much to our enjoyment, and at a cost which permits tho masses to share the delight with their wealthier neighbours ; 
it is he who is constantly enriching our stores with new varieties raised by himself, or obtained from other sources. 
Others, besides himself, are now engaged in the trade, and are worthily following in his footsteps. Ear be it from us 
to disparage them, or to draw invidious comparisons. We simply note the fact that Barr was the first in the field, 
and that to his energy and zeal we owe the present vast extension of Daffodil lore, and the corresponding enhance- 
ment of love for the Daffodil. We do not know where Mr. Barr’s library may be— that he has access to one is quite 
obvious, for he quotes Parkinson and Gerard, Haworth, Herbert, and Baker, as if he were quite familiar with what 
they have written on the Daffodil. But, wherever his library may be, or whatever use he may have mado of literary 
material, it is quite certain that the plants themselves have formed the main study of his life ; printer’s ink and type 
have been useful accessories, but constant study in the field has been the chief source whence he has derived his 
knowledge. In spite of the now extremely numerous varieties of Daffodil and Narcissus (wo may, for our present 
purpose, uso the terms indifferently), they admit readily of being classed under some dozeu groups. These groups 
may be called subgenera, or species, or varieties, according to the judgment of the observer. It matters compara- 
tively little whether Mr. A. considers this group important enough to bo called a sub-genus, while Mr. B. estimates it 
at specific rank only. What is of importance, is to be able to distinguish the group, and leave fanciers or students to 
give precedence and rank to the several groups according to their individual judgment. 

“ Mr. Barr works upon a plan which every botanist adopts as far as he is able— ho endeavours to discover the 
original types — the starting points, that is, of all this variation. Keen observation and constant comparison enable 
him to do this with a degree of certainty that no mere casual student or amateur could hope to attain. Wanderings 
in Spain, and the Pyrenees, have enabled him iu many cases to hunt his quarry in its original fastnesses, and thus to 
bring to light the originals of some of the garden forms, so that now in walking through his quarters he is able to say 
of such a form— this must be of Spanish origin, that of Italian extraction, and so on. From Bayonne to Gall icii, 
says Mr. Barr, all the Daffodils are sulphur-coloured. In Gailicia bicolor forms are found ; then come yellow forms 
all round the coast as far as tho Portuguese province of Estramadura. Daffodils of Italian origin may be recognised 
by the fact that they are apt to be thiu in substance as compared with others. 

“ Researches of this kind have interest not only for the botanist but for the historian also — a singular illustration 
of the fact that the student of one department of knowledge caimot afford to discard the evidence supplied by another. 

“ Certain varieties, for instauce, have lately been found iu Irish gardens. The Narcissus now known as Henry Irving, 
turned up unexpectedly in a Dutch garden, where it must have existed for many a generation unheeded. Golden Spur 
had a similar origin. Whence, and how came these varieties ? They must have existed iu Ireland or in Holland, as 
the case may be, for generations ; and the natural inference is that they were introduced into those countries by means 
of ecclesiastical or military travellers from Spain or Italy. But, says Mr. Barr, in answer, if this suggestion were 

{Barr and Son, 



BARR'S HARDY DAFFODILS, & WHAT “GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE’’ SAYS OF THEM. 3 



correct, wo ought to find the originals still wild, or, at least, in cultivation in Spain or southern Europe, but it is not 
«o. This, of course, opens up the question whether they may not, indeed, liavo had the origin supposed, but have 
become modified in course of timo in their new location. At least, this is a plausible supposition, one that some people 
would pass by as insoluble, and others treat as a matter of indifference. Mr. Barr, however, would, we are quite sure, 
not consider any Daffodil problem as absolutely insoluble ; still less would he treat it with indifferouce. 

“ The Daffodils, with their trumpet-shaped flowers and largo coronas or crowns, and the Narcissi with their flat, 
flowers and shallow cups, vary in stature, colour, and form of the parts of the flower. There is the green ovary or 
.young seed pod, which in some flowers is cylindric, in others obovoid with the broad end of the egg uppermost, in others 
singular. Surmounting this is the perianth tube, long, slender, cylindrical, or slightly dilated upwards, greenish or 
yollowish in all the Narcissi proper, broadly funnel-shaped, and relatively short in tho true Daffodils. Then comes 
the limb of tho perianth with its six lobe3 broad or narrow, blunt or pointed, white or of various shades of yellow, 
apreading or directed forwards. In the centre is tho cup or corona, short and shallow, like a saucer in the true 
Narcissi, yellow or orange-especially at the edge, often more or less folded, while in the Daffodils or Trumpet 
Narcissi the corona is as long as the sogments, or nearly so, broadly tubular, of various shades of yellow or orange, 
but generally darker in shade than the segments themselves. The free margin of the trumpet is regularly or 
irregularly lobod, and more or less reflexed. Notice should also be taken of the relative length and position of the 
stamens and styles, and of the periods at which they respectively become maturo. All these peculiarities, and many 
others that might be mentioned, are familiar to tho botanist, and are detailed in the works of Baker and Burbidge, 
but it may bo of service to tho amateur to indicate where ho should look for differences between his favourites. 

Mr. Barr s study is situated at Long Ditton, a few miles from Richmond and 2 miles from Kiugston, being easily 
reached from those towns, and is close to Surbiton Station on the Main Line of the South Westorn Rail. It consists 
of some fifteen acros of flat sandy loam, such as is found throughout tho Thames Valley, and this area is largely 
<levotod to Daffodils. Other plants there are— Anemones, Muscaris, Primroses, Becomes, Lilies, and so forth ; but 
.just now (April) the main attraction centres in the Daffodils, which occupy the greater portion of the ground. While 
other cultivators grow some dozen or twenty varieties at most, Mr. Barr is not satisfied with anything less than a 
complete representation of tho genus. Hence, we find the Hoop Petticoat Narcissi, the Triandrus group, tin* 
■Cyclamineus series, the big Daffodils, the little Daffodils, the least Daffodils, the bicolor Daffodils, the Comuus con- 
tingent, the Incomparabilis tribe, the Odorus section, tho Rugulosus set, the Tridymus clau, the Poeticus breed, the 
Polyanthus an* 1 . Tazetta hordes, all as fully represented as possiblo ; and then who shall number, much more doscribe, 
t he infinite variety of hybrids and crosses, the Leedsii mixtures, tho Barri blendings, the Burbidgei combinations, 
and the Bornardi amalgamations. 

“ Mx*. Barr, by long practice, pronounces judgment upon the supposed parentage of these crosses. In some cases, 
tho correctness of the affiliation is obvious to an unpractised eye, but in others we require to bo shown, and even 
thou the unpractised oye fails to grasp the points which seem so obvious to tho King of the Daffodils. His majesty 
even goes so far as to trace in the hybrid something of the character of the raiser. This may sound far-fetched ; 
but if one thinks of tho scholarly, sensitive, refined oxperimenter, and of the uneducated, rough-and-ready cultivator, 
it is easy to seo that though both may be working for a common aim, their methods are likely to differ, and the 
results correspondingly to be diverse— alike in principle, modified in detail. 

"All this and much more wo pick up from Mr. Barr as he conducts us round his quarters ; we rapidly note the 
main differences iu the colour, form, and size of the perianth ; specially are we struck with tho variations in colour 
und breadth of the "grass," or foliage. Clearly the leaves would afford an excellent field for research, aud wo have 
aio doubt whatever, that a clue to the solution of some of the Daffodil problems we have alluded to, would be afforded 
by a careful microscopical scrutiny of tho leuf-structure. But who is to do it? wo ask ourselves in despair, as our 
#uido thrusts into our cab, as we aro leaviug, a big sheaf of varieties, with their fluttering labels attached, as 
numerous as the bits of paper in the praying wheels of tho Tibetan priests. 

" Ah ! thero it is — the old story ; there is so much to bo learnt, so few to learn — so littlo timo or opportunity, so 
much other work that must be done. Even tho King admits that ho is occasionally beaten by circumstances, and if 
that be so with him, a fortiori, it must be so with humbler individuals. At any rate, wo are obliged to hold our 
bands, and to defer any special notice of particular varieties till another occasion ; but lot all who wish to know 
something moro about Daffodils than they cau learn from tho exhibition table follow our example, and betake them- 
selves to Long Ditton, and jmy homage to the Daffodil King.” 



CULTURE, ADAPTATION, Etc., OF THE DAFFODIL, 

Daffodils are at once the most beautiful and graceful of all hardy Spring flowers ; for centuries they 
have adorned our gardens, and withstood uninjured our severest winters, their blossoms suffering less from 
frost, snow, and rain, than any other spring flower, and truly does Shakspearc speak of them as 

“ Daffodils, 

That come before the swallow dares, and take 
The winds of March with beauty.” 

For filling beds or growing in groups in mixed borders and shrubberies, no flower of spring can com- 
pare with the Daffodil, and when naturalized in woodland walks, or forming large groups in grass, or on 
sloping banks, the effect is splendid. All the strong growing Daffodils are adapted for naturalization, and 
these include such fine sorts as Emperor, Empress, ITorsfieldii, as well as many of the white trumpet 
varieties, also Sir Watkin and all the varieties from Incomparabilis to Poeticus, etc., their noble or chastely 
coloured flowers, in such situations, being seen to great advantage. The slender and dwarf-growing sorts, 
such as Minor, Nanus, Minimus, Juncifolius, Triandrus albus, Corbularias, Cyclamineus, etc., naturalize 
well on rockwork, and in mountainous districts, on slopes facing the south. For culture under glass, in 
pots, the Daffodil ranks with the Hyacinth, and when 3 to 6 bulbs oi the strong growing sorts are culti 
vated in a pot, the effect is splendid ; of the dwarf growing kinds above enumerated 6 to 18 bulbs in a pot 
give a fine effect. The small growing Daffodils, especially N. minimus, Cyclamineus, and Corbularia citrina 
make charming edgings. As a cut flower the Daffodil is unsurpassed, and greatly prized. 

Daffodil flowers can be had in abundance from January to June by, FIRSTLY, planting a set in pots 
or boxes, and treating as recommended on page 4; SECONDLY, planting a set out-of-doors, in September ; 
and, thirdly, planting sets out-doors, in succession, from September to Christmas. The late plantings 
give beautiful flowers in May. Those for decoration in pots during January or February, should be potted 
up as early as possible, and receive the same cultural treatment as recommended for the Hyacinth,

SELECTIONS OF 

BARR’S High Class & Distinct Hardy DAFFODILS. ( From List No. I.) 

EMBRACING GROUPS I., II., and III. 

The varieties embraced in these assortments consist largely of the fine hybrids, and varieties raised by 
Mr. William Backhouse and Mr. Edward Leeds, they are all distinct one from the other, so that buyers cannot 
fail to be fully satisfied with them. The Daffodils in these assortments may be used for pot-culture or forced 
for cut flowers. Daffodils planted in flower borders, in beds, in the grass, or naturalized in woodland walks, 
orchards, by streams, lakes, etc., the effect produced in Spring far surpasses that of any other family of plants.

GROUP I.-MAGNI-C0R0NATI OF BAKER. 

Ajax of Salisbury, Haworth, and Herbert, Pseudo-Narcissus of Parkinson; including 
Corbularia (Bulbocodium) The Hoop Petticoat or Medusa’s Trumpet. 

Distinguishing Character. — Crown or trumpet as long or rather longer than the divisions of the perianth. 

The first systematic arrangement of this family is found in Parkinson's “ Paradisi in Sole Paradisus 
Terrestris, or, A Garden of AU Sorts of Pleasant Flowers," published 1629. Haworth, in November, 1831, 
published the revised edition of his Narcissus Monograph, and about the same time Dean Herbert embodied in his 
“ Amaryllidcueee " the result of his study of the genus Narcissi from living plants. Baker's review of the genus 
Narcissus appeared in the "Gardeners' Chronicle," 1870, and in a revised form “the review of the genus 
Narcissi to 1887," is now embodied in “Baker’s Handbook of the Amaryllidcce," published 1888, (prices;.) 
Burbidge's “History and Culture," with coloured plates and descriptions of all known species and principal 
varieties of Narcissus, written in a charming style, tracing the literature of the Daffodil back to 1570, was 
published 1875 j Mr. Barr at this date was working into form Messrs. William Backhouse and Edward Leeds' 
hybrids and varieties, so that only a very few of these are mentioned in Burbidge’s book. “Ye Narcissus or 
Daffodyl,” by F. W. B. and P. B., may be considered a supplement to Mr. Burbidge’s illustrated work, as it 
brings up Daffodil lore to 1884, with a complete descriptive list of all Narcissi, ancient and modern. It is 
understood Mr. Burbidge has a New Popular Work on the Daffodil in hand, which may be expected at no 
distant date. It would probably have appeared by this time, but so many new Narcissi are being discovered, 
and as this book is to be the gieat work of his life, he desires to make it as complete as Parkinson’s was in his day. 

Tbe Trumpet Daffodils, Group I., flower in the following succession : N. Pallidus preecox, var. asturicus 
and var. " Blond dor6," from January; Obvallaris, Minimus, Nanus and Minor, from February, closely followed 
by Cyclamineus, Santa Maria, Oporto Yellow, Rugilobus, Major, Spurius, Golden Spur, Henry Irving, the 
English Lent-Lily, the Scotch Garland Lily, Horsfieldii, Empress, Princeps, Cernuus, Colleen Bawn, etc., 
which are followed by Emperor, Maximus, Dean Herbert, Michael Foster, James Walker, the two Carains, 
the two Burbidges, Dr. Ilogg, Cernuus pulcher, Exquisite, Grandis, etc. 

The Grand Trumpeters include all the large trumpet varieties of Bicolor, Emperor, Maximus, Golden Spui, 
Henry Irving, Major, Princeps, Rugilobus, Spurius, Blondin, Telamonius plenus, Dean Herbert, Michael 
Foster, James Walker, the two Camms, the two Burbidges, Dr. Hogg, St. Brigid, John Nelson, Capt. Nelson, 
Shirley Hibberd, William Goldring, Cernuus pulcher, Hudibras, Exquisite, etc. 

All the Trumpet Daffodils are prized for pot-culture, flowering under glass with the Hyacinth, 
and should be cultivated In the same way, three to five roots In a 4 or 6 -lnch pot. The cut flowers 
of Daffodils are much In demand for bouquets and vases. For general cultural directions, seepage 4 .

BARR’S HARDY HOOP PETTICOAT AND TRUMPET DAFFODILS. 




NO. I LIST CONTAINING ONLY HIGH-CLASS & BEAUTIFUL HARDY DAFFODILS, 
WITH A FEW SPECIALLY DISTINCT SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 

Bulbs supplied September, October, November, and December. 



In Spring' our Collection of Daffodils underwent a very critical examination, which 
resulted in onr dividing it into two Sections. NO. 1 SECTION, embraces the highest class, 
and most distinct varieties, and far surpasses in beauty and rich diversity, any assortment of 
Daffodils ever before offered to the public. It contains the cream of our immense Collection 
(about 500 sorts), and consists mostly of new sorts, many of which were offered for the first 
time 1887, 1888, and 1889.

In the above three Daffodils, there may be found 
amongst the flowers gradations from a rose-like double- 
ness to an almost single flower, some with only a 
few florets in the cup. In this almost single state, 
many have supposed that it is the first stage to 
doubling, whereas it is an effort to go single. “ Butter

but it is a rare occurrence for either Eggs and Bacon,

THE LARGE BEARDED FLAG IRIS 



17 



BARR’S BEAUTIFUL HARDY IRISES. 

For Flower Beds, Borders, Shrubberies, Edgings, Ponds, and Naturalization. 

The Iris is the “ Orchid ” of the flower garden ; its blossoms are the most rich and 
varied in colour of hardy plants. It should be extensively planted in flower and shrubbery 
borders, and naturalized in wild gardens. As a cut-flower the Iris is invaluable, competing in 
richness and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful of Orchids. 

To cut for filling vases and for table bouquets, all the Iris are admirably adapted, and few flowers excel 
them in beauty . When necessary to forward the flowers to a distance, gather the buds just before expanding, and, 
like the Gladioli, they will open in water. 



IRIS BARBATA (BEARDED FLAG IRISES). 

Our Collection was awarded FIRST PRIZE by the Royal Botanic Society, June nth, 1890. 

Our Collection of Bearded Irises is the most 
complete in Europe, and those enumerated in this list 
are selected from upwards of 200 varieties. The 
better to understand our descriptions, we furnish a 
woodcut, and it will be observed from it, that three 
petals are erect — these are called Standards; three 
are drooping — these are called Falls. The small 
tongued parts of the flower (St.) are the petaloid 
stigmas, under which run the “ beards ” (B), which are 
either primrose or orange. The flowers in this 
section are all large and handsome, more or less 
beautifully mottled in the standards, and reticulated 
in the falls. There are the richest yellows, the most 
intense purples, and delicate blues, the softest 
mauves, and very beautiful claret reds, also whites, 
primroses, and bronzes of every imaginable shade — 
indeed, language fails us in pictuiing all the beauties 
of this flower ; and our descriptions, in consequence, 
fall far short of the reality. Those who have not used 
this Iris for surrounding artificial lakes and ponds, or 
cultivated it in the flower borders, shrubberies, wood- 
land walks, and wild gardens, should do so. It is alscv 
most valuable wherever a large quantity of cut flowers 
are required, from May to July , as the plants yield a 
great quantity of bloom when established. 

We have arranged the Iris Barbata in natural 
groups, to facilitate amateurs in making selections. 
Eich group has a distinct character. Germanica 
flowers first, and is represented by the blue, purple, 
and white Flag Iris of our gardens ; these flower at 
the same time, and are extremely decorative in May. 
Following in June, comes Aphylla, with Standards 
having a frill-like appearance arising from the mar- 
ginal coloured transverse lines on a white ground. 
Am®na has the standards white. Neglecta has the 
standards purple, or approaching to purple. Pallida, 
has the standards ranging from pale lavender to rose- 
lilac. Squalens embraces those varieties with 
bronze-coloured standards ; and Variegata has the standards yellow, or tending to yellow.

BEARDLESS SPECIES OF FLAG IRISES. 

The Irises offered in this section are all perfectly hardy, and quite distinct from the Bearded groups. Those 
marked with an * make grand aquatics. All the other Iris in the group, with 'the exception of Cristata, 
Ruthenica, and Stylosa, may be grown as marsh aquatics. Cristata, with its lovely amethyst-blue flowers, 
is charming on banks and rock-work in sunny sheltered places, and likes to be moderately dry during 
winter. Fcetidissima is valuable for damp shady situations, and its seed vessels are much prized in winter.

BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE FLAC IRISES. 

IRIS KJEMPFERI (THE CLEMATIS-LIKE IRIS OF JAPAN). 

The magnificence of these splendid new Japanese Irises surpasses any written description that we could 
give of them. The large flat flowers measure from 6 to 8 inches in diameter, with a breadth of petal 3 to 
3 $ inches ; the prevailing colours are white, magenta, crimson, rose, lilac, lavender, Frencb-gVey, 
purple, violet, and blue, each flower usually representing several shades, while close under the petaloid stigma 
there is a brilliant yellow or orange blotch or feather, more or less conspicuous, and almost always sur- 
rounded, except in the whites, by a halo of blue or violet. Coloured plates of Iris Ksempferi were issued by 
The Garden , 1876 and 1881. 

Culture. — A naturally good adhesive, moist, loamy garden soil, laying well to the sun, suits this plant. 
When a soil has to be specially prepared, wc recommend leaf-soil, loam and peat in equal parts ; but manure 
should not be given unless as a liquid. We are of opinion that the Iris Keempferi is semi-aquatic in summer, 
but should be moderately dty in winter. Professor Foster’s experience is to keep the soil round the plants in a 
wet quagmire state, from early in April to October. We have followed this plan with great success, and our 
plants make strong growth, and give abundance of flowers.

HARDY HERBACEOUS CHINESE DOUBLE P/EOMAS. 

VARIETIES OF ALBIFLORA. Plants supplied from October to March. 

The flowers, which are produced in June, are large and handsome, varying in colour from pure whites and 
blushes, to roses and the deepest crimsons , while most of them are deliciously rose-scented. The ornamental and 
massive foliage in addition, renders these Hardy Paeonias attractive plants for the herbaceous border or to 
intermingle with shrubs. They are of simple culture, succeeding in any ordinary garden soil. The flowers are 
greatly valued for cutting, as they travel well, and last long in water. 

Culture. — Trench the ground before planting, as deeply as possible, adding abundance of rotten manure, 
and then mulch the surface with manure. In Summer, if convenient, give a plentiful supply of liquid manure 
twice a week to encourage a rapid development, as the plant is decorative in proportion to its size. The 
Pffiony may be planted in any position, but, considering that the flower buds are formed early in Spring, it is 
preferable to grow the plants where the sun's rays do not fall upon them, in Spring, earlier than 11 or 12 o’clock.

MAY and JUNE-FLOWERING. Plants supplied from October to March. 

The snecles and varieties of Single Paeonias offered in the following list are new to gardens, although 
not new introductions, and we recommend them as fine border plants, possessing considerable character and 
diversity in foliage and habit of growth ; some are tall with a fine bold outline, others dwarf and bushy , 
some liavc very^large poppy-like (lowers, others, flowers not unlike water-lilies, while others, again, have 
comparatively small blowers. On the whole, a more interesting class of plants for flower border decoration it 

would be difficult to find. Cu i tura i treatment same as for Chinese Double Paonias.

FUNKIA, OR THE HARRY PLANTAIN LILY. 

Plants supplied from October to March. 



These handsome hardy herbaceous plants develope their ornamental foliage early in Spring, and in 
Summer and Autumn throw up a profusion of tine Lily-like flower spikes. The leaves range in size from the 
miniature to the gigantic, and from pule green to a deep glaucous-green. All are grand plants for edgings, and 
the large-leaved sorts adapted especially to naturalize in wild gardens, also to grow as distinctive objects on the 
grass of parks, etc., as exemplified by their extensive use in Hyde Park. For pot-culture under glass we 
especially recommend, for its neat snow-white flowers, Ovata spathulata speclosa, a small-leaved variety, 
and for its large spikes of beautiful snow-white flowers, Subcordata grandiflora, a handsome large-leaved 
variety ; also those with variegated foliage, especially the varieties of Undulata. Out of doors, in shady and 
somewhat moist situations, the Plantain Lily is most decorative, the foliage developing to its full size.

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE (HELLEBORUS NIGER). 

The Christmas ROBe is in flower during December and January. To have the blossoms pure white for 
Christmas decoration, the plants should be protected at the time of flowering. A hand-light, resting on bricks, 
will be sufficient for a large specimen ; but when a great number of flowers are required, a temporary pit should 
be made, the natural soil, if unsuitable, removed, and a mixture of loam and rotten dung, or loam, leaf soil and 
dung, substituted. When the flower buds appear, protect with lights, and give plenty of air, but dispense with 
the lights as soon as possible after the flowering season. For naturalization and wild gardens, the Christmas 
Rose is a grand plant.

THE LILHJM (LILIES). 

Bulbs supplied up to end of March. 

THE LILY is matchless amongst hardy p'ants, for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It 
commences flowering in May, and maintains a continuous unbroken succession of bloom, from species of different 
countries, till the frosts ot autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds ; thus it is unequalled for its 
successional display, and is an important plant to associate m beds or borders with Rhododendrons, I’seonias, 
Double Pyretlirums, and Herbaceous plants generally. 



\Barr and Son, 



THE LILIUM. 



25 



The Lilium — contin ued. 

Culture Out-of-Doors. — In its native habitat the Lily is usually found growing amongst brushwood 
or long grass, in soils of varied texture, but always sweet and well drained ; so that, in choosing a situation 
for planting, perfect drainage, natural or artificial, should be the first consideration. The borders of 
Rhododendron and Azalea beds are generally suitable for Lily culture, as the necessary compost for the 
particular species can easily be given, and the shelter from the surrounding branches is beneficial in pro- 
tecting the plants in spring and affording a partial shelter from the sun’s rays in summer ; amongst dwarf 
shrubs, or herbaceous plants, in the proximity of trees or other shelter, the Lily succeeds best if care is taken 
that there is sufficient atmospheric exposure to prevent the plants making a feeble growth. In the preparation 
of ground for Lilies, loosen the soil to a depth of several feet, and add fresh loam, coarse sand, sweet decomposed 
leal soil, or good peat, care being taken that the soils are as free as possible from insect life , and the compost 
sufficiently friable. Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep (except where otherwise stated), and if all things are equal, 
they may remain undisturbed for many years. The bog or swamp-loving Lilies, Superbum, Canadense, and 
the varieties of Pardalinum, require a moist peaty soil and rather shady situation. Rockwork and artificial 
mounds, such as may be seen in the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, are admirable for Lilies, there being sufficient 
choice of aspects, soil, and drainage — thus the majestic bog-loving lilies would occupy the base with marsh 
plants, and the other species such positions as are best suited to them. 

Culture In-Doors. — When grown in pots, the Lily should have a compost of fibry loam and sweet 
decomposed leaf soil, with plenty of coarse sand, or good peat, loam, and sand, the bulb being potted firmly, 
and the top covered at least two inches ; this done, plunge the pots in ashes out of doors , under a wall or hedge, 
facing the north; there let the Lilies remain till the flower buds are formed, when they maybe removed to 
the conservatory, corridor, or sitting-room. Lilies in pots, when removed from the ashes, should have cleat- 
weak liquid manure tioice a week. The dra inage of the pots must be good, and no stagnant moisture tolerated 
in the plunging ground. Superbum. Canadense, and the varieties of Pardalinum, prefer moist sandy peat. 

Where necessary , we have stated the special soils that should be used for the different species. 



AURATUM (The White Golden-rayed Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan). This is, indeed, 
the Queen of Lilies, and should have a place in every garden and conservatory. It is of 
simple culture and perfectly hardy. Out-of-doors it should be planted 9 in. to 12 in. deep

A very useful and elegant family of summer and autumn-flowering hardy plants, of which we offer, below, 
a select list of the best and most striking varieties. 

The taller growing varieties are invaluable for large herbaceous borders, or for masses and groups in the wild 
garden, etc. The dwarf sorts have a pleasing effect in rock-gardens, and also make charming pot-plants. The 
graceful spikos and racemes of flowers are very useful for cutting, and last a considerable time in water.

HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOXES. 

JULY, AUGUST, AND SEPTEMBER-FLOWERING. 

These Hardy Perennial Phloxes are very decorative ; their flowers are brilliant in colour .and range from 
pure white to the richest crimsons, and purples, and the most beautiful salmons. In growth they are elegant and 
stately. I'heir culture is simple. They succeed in almost any soil or situation. A mulching of manure in spring 
is beneficial, and in very hot weather an occasional soaking of water.

BEAUTIFUL HARDY TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS. 

These beautiful hardy Orchids arc of easy culture, and should have a place in all good collections of 
plants. Their grand spikes of bloom are of exquisite beauty. A special bed should be made for this family of 
plants, say at the foot of a rockwork, in a damp and shady situation. The soil should be rough boggy peat 
to tiic depth of 18 inches. Most of the species will gtow luxuriantly in such a situation, but there are a few 
that like a little different culture. We therefore indicate the treatment of each species by the following signs. 

* Soil, peat and loam in a shady situation, with abundance of moisture. 

+ Soil, peat, loam, and leaf mould, in a well-drained shady situation, damp at all seasons. 

II Plant between pieces of limestone, n a well-drained loam, and slightly shady situation. 

§ Soil, leaf mould, peat and sand, keep rather damp in summer but dryer in winter, shady situation.
