Eoster ( Engleheart ) A charming little plant and flower of 
much distinction, very thick hollowed foliage, flowers of 
medium size, fine round perianth of broad overlapping 
segments, crown cup-formed, light clear canary citron, 
refined and novel. A.M., R.II.S., and Birmingham, 
1906. L. 3 for 14/- — 
Ethereal (H. Backhouse) Raised from Hon. Mrs. Barton X 
Cassandra (pollen). Crown perfectly flat as in l’oeticus 
but pure white ; perianth of good substance also pure 
white. A most choice and beautiful flower and quite 
unique. M.S. 
"The New Zealand Graphic ,” Sept. 23rd, 1998, says: — 
“ Narcissus Ethereal.” 
“An absolutely pure white I’arvi Narcissus is a very 
uncommon thing. Messrs. Cartwright & Goodwin, 
Kidderminster, have produced an hybrid to which they 
give the above name, and which is pure white when it 
expands. The outer segments are oblong and broad, 
while the inner ones are ovate and all of them over- 
lapping. The crown is widely cup-shaped, flat and 
plaited. It is very chaste or ethereal, and someone pro- 
cured one of the bulbs at a fabulous price for a Daffodil.” — 
Evangeline (Engleheart ) This magnificent flower was in- 
troduced by us at the R.H.S. meeting on March 30th, 
1908, when it caused quite a furore among lovers of the 
Narcissus. Writing in “The Garden” for April 18th, 
the Rev. J. Jacob described it as a “white Homespun,” — 
a description which will convey some idea as to the 
exquisite modelling of the flower. The pure white 
petals, which are much overlapping, are of remarkable 
breadth, texture, smoothness, and solidity. The plant 
is a strong, vigorous, tall grower. Figured in “ The 
Gardeners' Chronicle,” April, 1908. M.S. ... 3 for 9/- —
