PHLOX. 



DWAKF SOETS. 



The dwarf varieties of these very popular plants 

 are remarkable for their fine, dense and procum- 

 bent foliage, which clothes the ground as with a 

 carpet of evergreen verdure, rendering the plant 

 exceedingly useful for covering dry and exposed 

 banks or for edging beds and bor- 

 ders. But their most remarkable 

 feature is the profusion of their 

 flowers which, in early summer, 

 create a blaze of color difficult to 

 describe. They are very easily 

 grown. 



P. Amoena— 6 inches, May. Pret- 

 ty bright pink star-like flowers. 

 Each, 10 cts.; per doz. $1.00. 



PAPAVER. 



POPPY. 



Perennial Poppies stand almost 

 unrivaled among hardy plants for 

 beauty, effectiveness and general 

 usefulness, and well merit the great 

 popularity they have attained within 

 the past few years. Whether in 

 masses on the lawn, among shrub- 

 bery, in the herbaceous border, or 

 in the rockery they are exceedingly 

 attractive, producing from June to 

 October a wealth of gorgeous blos- 

 soms truly surprising. 



P. Oriental — 3 feet. A magnifi- 

 cent Poppy, bearing flowers often 

 measuring 6 inches across; color 

 mostly brilliant scarlet with black
