Now that the Spanish Pyrenees are being 
searched for the floral treasures brought to light 
in Parkinson’s day, we hope to number tbis 
variety amongst them through reintroduction. 
Pallidus PRAiCOX, the beautiful sulphur-white 
Daffodil, after a lapse of nearly three hundred 
years, was reintroduced into cultivation by Barr 
& Son, through the kindness of W. D’Arcy G. 
Osborne, Esq. ; and has been found, both in 
Holland and England, to be the earliest of all 
Daffodils, and one of the handsomest. The 
present season it was flowering in the open 
ground at Tooting in January, and at the first 
meeting in February was awarded a first-class 
Certificate by the Committee of the Royal Hor- 
ticultural Society. To many it may be inte- 
resting to read Parkinson’s quaint description of 
this Daffodil, 1629: — " Pseudo-narcissus palli- 
dus pracox , the early straw-coloured Daffodil. 
The leaves of this Daffodill are of a meane size, 
betweene the broadest and the narrower kindes, 
of a grayish greene colour, and not very long : 
the stalke riseth up a foot high or more, whereon 
standeth one large great flower, equalling the 
greatest Spanish bastard Daffodil in the large- 
ncsse of his trunke, and having the brimmes 
turned up a little, which maketh it seeme the 
larger : the wings or outer leaves are in a man- 
ner as short, as they are in the greatest Spanish 
kinde (and not long flagging down, like unto the 
mountain kinds), and stand straight out right. 
All the whole flower is of one even colour, that is, 
of a fine pale yellow, somewhat like unto the 
colour of a lemon peele or rinde, but somewhat 
whiter, which usually we call a strawe colour : 
the greatnesse of the flower, the earlinesse of 
the flowering, and the difference of colour from 
all the rest of this kinde, hath made me entreate 
of it apart by it selfe, as being no lesse worthy.’'
