NEW PERENNIAL POPPY 
PAPAVER “ORIENTALE” 
“THE FELTHAM” 
Some fourteen years ago our growers originated at their 
Feltham grounds a new departure in Oriental Poppies, and 
by dint of continual selection have now succeeded in fixing a 
distinct and valuable strain. It has all or nearly all the 
various shades of the type—scarlet, orange scarlet, apricot, 
etc.—but with no black blotches at the base of the petals. 
The flowers are thus all self-coloured, the difference being 
comparable with that between the Shirley Poppy and its pro- 
totype the Papaver Rhaeus. We have no doubt that the 
Feltham strain has a great future as a brilliantly decorative 
border plant.

on long slender wiry stems, ?t is exceptionally free and 
graceful and is practically perpetual flower. Many new tints 
such as apricot, biscuit, mauve, deep tangerine, lemon in all 
shades are to be found, as a cut flower it is beautiful, lasting

NEW HOLLYHOCK 
DOUBLE “IMPERATOR’” 
This splendid new Hollyhock, which arrests the 
attention of the beholder as something entirely origin- 
al. Rising to a stately height it bears flowers 5% to 
6% inches across, consisting of wide outer petals ele- 
gantly frilled and deeply fringed, in the centre of 
which appears a very double rosette about 2 inches 
across, the whole suggesting a crested Begonia on a 
giant scale. The colouring includes various tints of 
great beauty, such as cerise salmon with centre of 
cream reflecting rose; delicate pink with centre of 
rose flushed yellow; light yellow flushed rose with 
canary yellow centre; but there are many other charm- 
ing combinations of different tints. The plant branches 
from the base, forming a majestic clump and the lat- 
eral stems can be utilised in vases for decorative pur- 
poses. This splendid new Hollyhock can be relied 
on to come quite 80 per cent true from seed.
