Description. 160 doz. 
Bard of Avon (Engleheart) We are glad to 
be able to introduce one of the most remark- 
able of all Mr. Engleheart’s seedlings, and one 
that we have no hesitation whatever in saying 
is bound to create a sensation. This plant is 
the finest of a new strain of Poeticus, the pro- 
duction of which has engaged the close atten- 
tion of the raiser for many years. This strain 
all has great substance of petal and red or red- 
edged eyes of singularly sharp definition. In 
the case of Bard of Avon the eye is of excellent 
proportions and wholly red. The snow white 
perianth is round and of beautiful finish ; long 
stem, fine erect habit, perfect constitution, in- 
creasing freely with clear-skinned heavy bulbs. 
Opens mid-April, following Ornatus. A grand 
show or garden plant. Strongly recommended. 
Cassandra (Engleheart) An extremely distinct 
variety with a rather small eye deeply rimmed 
with red and a very broad perianth of great 
substance and solidity. A strong tall grower 
and of rapid increase. Most invaluable to 
the hybridist. A.M., R.H.S., 1899. L. ... — 16/- 
Chaucer (Engleheart) The earliest of the new 
Poeticus varieties and a grand plant for forcing 
and early hybridising work. Fine rounded 
perianth, large flat eye, vivid scarlet. E. ... — 10/- 
Childe Harold (Engleheart) A magnificent tall 
growing plant of vigorous growth, with large 
flat yellow eye rimmed with light red. Perianth 
segments very round, short, broad and over- 
lapping, most distinct. The whole flower is 
very round and of great substance and the eye 
stands out well from the perianth. V.L. ... — — 
Comus (Engleheart) A variety of extreme 
durability and great vigour. Very fine broad- 
petalled segments of superb purity, finish and 
texture. The large eye has a ribbon edge of 
brilliant red which stands both sun and frost 
well. A grand seeder. Highly recommended. 
V.L. — 12/- 
Dante (Engleheart) A cross between Poeticus 
Ornatus and Poeticus Poetarum. Well formed, 
round, broad-petalled perianth ; eye citron 
deeply suffused madder red. F.C.C., R.H.S., 
1896. E — 7/6 
Epic (Engleheart) One of the very finest in this 
section. A strong grower but a shy seeder. A 
large refined flower of great size ; eye canary 
rimmed with brilliant red. V.L. — 12/-
