This publication is limited to 1,000 Copies, PRICE, 2s. 6d., 
POST FREE. It is purely a drawing-room book, and work of 
art among garden flowers, exclusive of trade altogether. A key 
to same, descriptive and priced, can be had in July. And more 
than probable, in 100 years this edition, from the artistic point, 
will be scarce and valuable as a remnant of the Daffodil mania of 
this age, and particularly as it emanates from such a small place 
as Cork. -
