this variety amongst them through reintro¬ 
duction. 
Pallidus PEiECOX, this beautiful sulphur-white 
Daffodil w'as reintroduced into cultivation 
in 1882, after a lapse of nearly 300 years, by 
Messrs. Barr & Son ; 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 Boyal Horticultural Society. 
To many it may be interesting to read Parkin¬ 
son’s quaint description of this Daffodil, 1629: 
—‘‘ Pseudo-narcissus pallidus prcEcox, 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, before de¬ 
scribed, in the largenesse 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 manner 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 some¬ 
what 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.”—Parkinson’s Para- 
disi in Sole Paradisus Terrestris, Edition 
1629, p. 99. 
Paul Engelheart, perianth delicate sulphur- 
white, trumpet primrose, long, narrow and 
straight. B. 
Eebecca Syme (the violet-scented Daffodil), 
perianth white, trumpet citron; this fine 
small flowering variety is as remarkable for 
its beauty as for its exceptional fragrance, 
which is possessed by no other Daffodil. B, 
Sir Stafford Noethcote, perianth white, long 
pale sulphur trumpet, very distinct. 
Sarah Tisdale, perianth sulphur-white and 
somewhat twisted, trumpet sulphur-white, 
very elegant small flower. B. 
Toetuosus (the great tortuose white Spanish 
Daffodil), perianth pure white, usually twisted 
and somewhat shorter than the trumpet, which 
is pale sulphur changing to snow white. 
William Goldring (longipetalus), long snow 
white dog-eared perianth, which completely 
envelopes the trumpet, trumpet primrose, the 
flower is very drooping or cernuous. L.
