POETAZ (Cluster Flowered) 
The Poetaz varieties are remarkable for their fragance 
and floriferousness. They bear several flowers on a stiff, 
strong stem, either yellow or yellow and white, and some 
with red eyes. Midseason to late, and of medium height. 
Canaliculatus. (3) A dainty little Polyanthus narcissus suitable for sunny situa- 
tions in the rock garden or border. It has narrow erect bluish-green foliage and 
bears heads of three or four flowers with white perianth and globular golden 
cup, sweetly scented. Doz. $1.00. 
Cheerfulness. (4) F. C. C., R. H. S. Double white with a suggestion of pale 
yellow at the base of the petals. Three of four flowers on a strong 18-inch 
stem. One of the best and most charming introductions of recent years.

flowers on a large, stiff stem. Doz. 75c.

white perianth of splendid substance, and a large expanded cup of intense 
orange scarlet. A magnificent garden plant second only to Glorious. Doz. 
$1.25. 
Red Guard. (3-4) A. M., R. H. S. A most uncommon novelty. The some- 
what star-shaped long perianth segments are of pale, though bright buff- 
orange coloring, while the cup-shaped corona is a vivid orange-scarlet. 
The color of the cup extends into the perianth and gives a novel effect that 
is much admired. Often two flowers on a stem. Each 25c. 
Scarlet Gem. (3) A fine, showy Poetaz with primrose-yellow perianth and 
brilliant orange-scarlet cup. Four or five flowers on an 18-inch stem. Doz. $1.25.
