'Brian Mathew' (syn. G127): an original selection from Brian
Mathew, given to Ray Cobb who later, with his approval named it
after him. A fine plant of good substance with large shapely flowers
on relatively short scapes and especially upright, strong blue-grey
leaves. The widely spaced outer segments allow the almost entire
green inner segment markings to be seen even when the flower is
closed. A most lovely plant albeit slow to increase. First offered by
North Green Snowdrops in 2008. See illustration p.22. £30.00
'Cedric's Prolific': originally from the garden of the late Cedric
Morris at Benton End and grown for many years by Beth Chatto to
whom we are grateful for our stock. A remarkably distinct snowdrop
with leaves that end in an acute point. The flower has green tips and a
long, narrow, deep green V-shaped mark. A prolific snowdrop in
every way and an excellent plant for colonizing larger areas. Choice.
£8.50
'Deer Slot': a much coveted snowdrop originally from the garden of
the late Primrose Warburg and somewhat eccentric in that the deer
slot mark only appears on one of the inner segments and only when
the bulb is fully matured. The remaining segments have U-shaped to
heart-shaped markings in a rich deep green. A rare collector's item
and a stunning snowdrop even when it is not ''slotting''. This
snowdrop does not respond well to twin-scaling. One bulb per
customer. See illustration p.16. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.173)
