BARR & SON, 12, King Street, Covent Garden, London.— 1887. 
The following we repiint from our Midsummer List : — 
SPECIAL OFFER OF COLLECTED DAFFODILS 
TILL END OF SEPTEMBER, 
ist Daffodil species, collected by A. W. Tait, Esq., in Northern Portugal. 
2nd „ ,, by a Member of our Firm in Northern Portugal, Northern Spain, and the 
Hautes Pyrenees. 
3 rd » ,, by sundry Collectors on the French and Spanish Pyrenees. 
The collected Daffodils offered were for the most part found in localities where modern botanists have not 
travelled in Spring. We therefore expect that, with few exceptions, they will prove to be new species. Several 
of these Daffodils were collected in the same Province, and were out of flower ; it is, therefore, quite possible the 
same species may be repeated in this offer. These Daffodils will be sent out under number, with a local name 
added, and when the species have been named, this and the number will be repeated in our Daffodil Catalogue. 
Some of the Daffodils offered under name are known species, but mostly from habitats where they had not 
been previously collected, and on this account may possess an interest to amateurs. 
The object in offering these collected bulbs is to afford amateurs the opportunity of becoming acquainted 
with the most recent researches after Daffodils in native habitats. 
Quantity. 
20 Bulbs of each of the Daffodils enumerated £15 0 o
