POPPY—Continued 
Double Peony Flowered, Mixed—A companion strain 
to the preceding, but having the large double flowers 
composed of broad silky petals with smooth or plain 
edges, in contrast to the finely fringed petals of the pre- 
ceding type. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c. 
This well-known favorite is, without doubt, one of the 
most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that 
cultivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety 
of forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted 
in early spring, the seeds should be sown in autumn in a 
frame. For spring sowing, get the seed in as early as 
possible, and keep the ground well watered and thor- 
oughly stirred up to kill weeds. The Pansy delights ina 
rich, moist soil, and the largest flowers are borne upon 
young plants. While they require plenty of sunshine in 
the spring, the hot summer sun is apt to dry them up and 
eause the flower to become small. Our seed is all from 
earefully selected large flowers, and with proper care in 
growing will yield handsome returns. 
Bugnot’s Giant Blotched.—Flowers of enormous size, 
nearly circular in form, and in a great variety of the 
handsomest and rarest colors, including some shades 
found in no other variety. Each petal has a distinct, 
deeply colored blotch. Pkt. 10c.; 1% oz. $1.00. 
Giant President Carnot.—Similar to preceding, in large 
size and splendid form, but the margin of petals is a 
clear snowy white, while centres are heavily blotched 
with a soft, rich shade of violet blue. Pkt. 10c.; % oz. 
75¢. 
Giant Emperor William.—Large flowers of a soft ul- 
tramarine blue, with large distinct dark blue eye. Pkt. roc. 
Giant Beaconsfield.—Extra large flowers of deep vio- 
let-blue, shading to white at the edges of the upper 
petals. Pkt. 10c.; %4 oz. $1.00. 
Peacock.—Large flowers of most beautiful coloring. 
The underlying tint is a lovely ultramarine-blue, which 
is framed and streaked with rosy carmine tints in a 
manner which resembles the brilliant eye of a peacock 
feather. The name is further justified by beautiful iri- 
descent blending of rich shadings. Pkt. 5c.; % oz. 75c. 
Emperor Frederick.—Velvety brown shaded to a nar- 
row band of deep golden yellow bordering each petal; 
the rich central portion is finely rayed with bright gold 
lines. Pkt. 5c.

rich glossy black, having a peculiarly soft velvety ap-

glossy tint. Pkt. ic.
