ICELAND POPPIES (Papaver Nudieaule). 



While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from spring sown 

 seed, blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of graceful, neat 

 habit, with bright green, fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which issue 

 slender stalks about 12 inches high, bearing their brilliant flowers in endless pro- 

 fusion; most useful for cutting, for which purpose pick when in bud. and, if the 

 seed pods are picked off, continue in flov.'er the entire season. They remain ever- 

 green throughout the winter, coming into bloom early the following spring.
