True Poeticus. 
Description. 100 
Acme Considered by Mr. Engleheart to be 
perhaps the most beautiful of his productions ; 
faultless in form, colour, substance, and con- 
stitution ; the flower is long stemmed, circular, 
broad-petalled, and white ; the large eye is 
quite flat, of a singularly brilliant and refined 
quality of pure dead scarlet ; the plant seeds 
freely, and is as vigorous and productive as 
Ornatus ; entirely distinct from all other 
Poeticus. M.S. — 
Algernon Swinburne (Engleheart) A 
flower of vivid colouring. Fine white perianth, 
eye all red with green centre ; very effective. 
M.S. — 
Almira. Raised in Holland. A most distinct 
variety with broad, undulating, well-rounded 
perianth of great substance and a large eye 
beautifully edged with very rich red. M.S. ... 12/- 
Barcarolle (Engleheart) This may be best 
described as a glorified Cassandra, and speci- 
mens have been exhibited with petals measuring 
1$ inches in width. Flower rounded, sym- 
metrical, remarkably flat, rather small eye 
rimmed with red. A most durable flower. 
Strongly recommended Special Price. L. 
3 for 9/6 — 
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 rimmed with red. The snow 
white perianth is round and of beautiful 
finish ; long stem, fine erect habit, perfect con- 
stitution, increasing freely with clear-skinned 
heavy bulbs. Opens mid-April, following 
Ornatus. A grand show or garden plant. 
Strongly recommended. E — 
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. ... —
