A Floral Fantasy in an Old English Garden – Walter Crane

SWEET WILLIAM with MARYGOLD
Seek HEARTSEASE in the close box-border.
Where, starched in their ruff’s stiff fold,
DUTCH DAHLIAS prim, keep order.

NARCISSUS bends over the brook,
Intent upon DAFFA-DOWN-DILLY:

KNIGHT’S SPUR to the LADIES BOWER
To seek for the LADIES SLIPPER
