JUNE TO OCTOBER.

The seedsmen use the 

 names Eanuncuhis, Pa30- 

 ny, and Carnation merely 

 to distinguish the types 

 of certain flowers ; thus, 

 one flower bears a resem- 

 blance to the garden ra- 

 nunculus, another to the 

 pseony, and another to 

 the carnation. That these types are 

 very distinct, an examination of the 

 petals will abundantly prove. ]\Ty 

 drawing of the poppy called Rosy 

 Morn is an example of a pseoiiy- 

 shaped flower; the daintier Mikado 

 and Fairy Blush are examples of 

 carnation-shaped flowers. The Siiir- 

 ley and the Double French 

 poppies belong to the Eanun- 

 culus division. 



The poppy is an extraor- 

 dinarily beautiful flower ; it 

 would be partial for me to 

 recommend any particular vari- 

 ety ; but if I were asked which 

 one seemed to be the most 

 beautiful, I think I should be 



Rosy Morn
