Description:This cast iron plaque, one of a set of three, was attached to a wall along a footpath in Westfield Road, Edgbaston, listing plants, supplied by Barr & Son, that were planted there between 1884 and 1897. It gives us a snapshot of which plants were popular at the time, and we find some of the crocus varieties mentioned in this series of plaques (Mont Blanc, Sir Walter Scott and Purpurea Grandiflora) advertised in Edgbastonia magazine in September 1892 by another supplier, Sydenham's.
