MECONOPSIS BAILEYII 
(One of the Finest Introductions of Recent Years) 
This beautiful blue perennial Poppy, brought over 
from Tibet by Captain Kingdon Ward, throws up 
from its root-stock half a dozen leafy stems 2 to 3 feet 
high, well furnished with broad sea-green leaves and 
bearing freely at their heads large four-petalled 
blooms of a glorious sky-blue color, the effect of 
which is enhanced by a central zone of golden yellow 
anthers. This superb plant has been accorded by the 
Royal Horticultural Society a First Class Certificate 
and an Award of Merit. It is hardy, and should soon 
become one of the most popular plants in cultivation.

“BLUE GEM” 
(JERSEY GEM) 
Few plants are of 
more general usefulness 
in the garden than the 
Viola cornuta and its 
varieties, and the good 
qualities possessed by 
these plants are present 
in even greater measure 
in this new _ variety. 
Blue Gem forms a large 
_compact plant, produc- 
ing a continuous profu- 
sion of bloom for a very 
long period, consider- 
ably longer than other 
cornuta varieties. The 
flowers are a very pleas- 
ing shade of deep violet 
blue, with an occasional 
very slight variation in 
tint, and may be relied on to come about 70% true from seed. A 
great feature of this fine new variety is its wonderful power of re- 
sisting drought, the plants continuing to throw up flowers long 
after other varieties are withered up. We are confident that Blue 
Gem will be found of the greatest value for all purposes to which "Sas

This variety was introduced last year, the unique feature which differentiates 
it from the older types of Larkspur, is its large numbers of laterals’: from the crown 
stem, as high as 18 laterals have been picked from one plant. It is vigorous growing, 
and is more resistant to mildew than the older varieties. The flowers are large and 
very double and are a pleasing shade of Salmon Pink. Pkt., 25c.
