VARIOUS SPECIES 



Pseonia corallina. (VE) A very spreading sort. The flowers are early, 

 following the species P. tenuifolia and preceding P. alba flora. Flowers single, 

 purple-red, and followed by seed-pods with very showy black and coral-red seed. 



P. officinalis. (VE) A very early sort, with excellent dark green foliage 

 and brilliant showy flowers. In succession of bloom they follow P. tenuifolia 

 and are always in great demand, as they produce the best flowers of any of the 

 early sorts. 



P. officinalis, var. rubra plena. Double; brilliant, deep crimson; much 

 sought for to use as a cut flower. 



P. officinalis, var. rosea plena. Double; beautiful clear pink. 



P. tenuifolia. (FE) Growing 12 to 18 inches, with dark, finely cut foli- 

 age, and bearing large showy flowers. This is the earliest variety to bloom, 

 and when well established they form beautiful clumps. The flowers are single 

 and rich crimson. 



P. tenuifolia, var. flore pleno. Flowers dense, double and brilliant crimson. 



P. triternata. An early -flowering species about 18 inches in height, with 

 rounded leaves of grayish green, and bears single bright red flowers. 



PAPAVER. Poppy. No class of garden plants give more satisfaction or 

 produce more brilliant effect than the Poppies. This is specially true of 

 P. orientalis and P. bracteatum ; strong growers, with excellent foliage and 

 large, brilliant, showy flowers. No border should be without them, as they 

 can be grown successfully in any soil. 



P. orientale. Oriental Poppy. 2 feet; June; orange -scarlet. A mag- 

 nificent variety. 



P. bracteatum. 4 feet; June; blood-red, with black bar at base of petal. 

 This variety is large, rich and distinct. 



P. nudicaule. Iceland Poppy. I foot; June to October; colors from 

 pure white and yellow to deepest orange-scarlet. The most profuse bloomer 

 of this class. The flowers, on slender stalks, are carried well above the pretty, 

 fern-like foliage.
