186 BRECK’S NEW BOOK OF FLOWERS. 
The following descriptions and prices of some of Wid- 
nall’s finest seedlings, will give some idea of the value at- 
tached to them in England at that time :— 
“No, 4—I have just named Juliet, color a rose, inclining 
to rosy purple; superior in shape to Widnall’s perfection ; 
height three feet; price £7 (or about $35). 
No. 3.—Not named. A bright yellow, tipped with 
orange-scarlet ; fine shape ; height three feet; price £1.10. 
No. 3.—Not named. Ground dark-purple, beautifully 
shaded and striped with crimson; height five feet; price 
£2. 
No. 281.—Just named Golden Sovereign, a deep gold 
yellow ; height four to five feet; price £5. 
C.—Not named. A white ground, edged with the 
same color as the Queen of Dahlias, and surpasses every 
Dahlia seen for shape; three to four feet high ; price £10 
(or $50). 
D.— Just named Marchioness of ; fine white 
ground, exquisitely edged with beautiful rose; large 
flowers and very fine shape; three feet high; price £10. 
H.H—Not named A white, finely margined, with rosy 
lilac cupped petals; globular shaped; very fine; four 
feet high; price £5.” 
These plants, then in Mr. Widnall’s possession, were 
not to be sent out by him till the following year in May. 
Probably not one of all his seedlings are in existence at 
the present time, and if they were, would be dear at $1.50 
per dozen plants.
