Description. 
100 doz. each 
richer in colouring. The flower lasts in good condition 
for an enormous length of time, and the plant is a grand 
grower. Opened with us this year 3 days after Bir- 
mingham show 
Homer (Engleheart). Very large broad Ornatus-like 
perianth ; eye orange with a very broad band of clear 
deep crimson. Stiff erect habit. F.C.C., R.H.S., 1898 ... 
Horace (Engleheart). Is best described as a much improved 
P. poetarum. Overlapping, rounded perianth segments, 
with flat and entirely scarlet eye. The flowers attain 
3J inches in width. A good seeder, and quickly grows 
into large clumps. Must be cut young to retain its full 
colouring 
Ibis (P. D. Williams). A superb flower grandly shown at 
Truro this year. Broad, solid, overlapping perianth of 
great purity, and rich crimson eye. In our opinion this 
will be one of the best varieties to breed from. Second 
Prize B'ham, 1909, for Finest Single bloom of Poeticus ... 
Juliet (Engleheart). Of Ornatus type but flowering some- 
what earlier. Flowers of fine shape with broad, 
overlapping petals; eye canary thinly edged with 
madder-red 
Kestrel (P. D. Williams). A huge flower with round, 
overlapping perianth, segments of extraordinary thick 
substance ; very wide, flat eye of heavy crimson scarlet ; 
the whole flower is well balanced and of perfect 
quality. A tall and stately plant. A.M., B'ham, 1907 .. 
Laureate (Engleheart). A very large flower with slightly 
reflexing, rounded petals and an extremely large eye 
with heavy red rim. Late 
Musldorus (Engleheart). Quite a new type of Poeticus, 
bred by Mr. Engleheart from Poeticus of Linnseus, and 
one that will be of great value to the hybridist. A 
small flower of good form, immense substance and great 
solidity. Petals much overlapping; eye dark citron 
lightly rimmed with red. The flowers last in excellent 
condition for three weeks on the plant and seem 
absolutely sun-proof. Seeds freely and makes very large 
pods. Opens about the same time as Epic. Highly 
recommended ... ... ... 
Oliver Coldsmlth (Engleheart). This variety probably 
came in for more admiration at the last Birmingham Show 
than any other Poeticus. The flower is of medium size, 
very neat and of the very highest form and quality. 
The flat, broad, rounded petals are very smooth, over- 
lapping, and of grand texture and solidity. The eye is 
large and flat, centre deep brilliant green, surrounded 
by pale citron and brilliantly edged with bright orange-red . . . 
Poem. An extremely neat late variety of Dutch origin. 
Probably a cross between Ornatus and Recurvus
