I have always tended to call this pattern "Crested Bird" because the crested birds are more prominent in the design. However, it was clearly called Hummingbird (or Humming Bird) in the 1910s, and it does in fact feature two hummingbirds.

This pattern with its bird motif appears in two colorways in the sample book. Parry writes that they date from after 1915 and may have been adapted from a historic textile design. This seems likely given both their style and the Firm's production in the 1910s.

Blackberry was available in three colorways, all variations on the same naturalistic combination of greens, pinks, whites, and yellows.

St. James's huge scale and resultant high cost likely meant that it was of limited commercial appeal. It is absent from a c. 1909 catalogue of the Firm's papers, but a sample in a slightly different colorway appears in one of the c. 1918 Brooklyn Museum sample books.
