GIANT DOUBLE 



EPOPPIES.i 



This " Brilliant Mixture " of 

 double annual Poppies has been made 

 from exclusively improved giant 

 double-flowering sorts, and none but 

 the richest, most brilliant, as well as 

 the daintest and loveliest shades and 

 colors are included. The plants are 

 sturdy, luxuriant growers about 2Vi 

 feet high, bearing immense double 

 flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as 

 large as Pa?onies. Some of the flowers 

 have broad, round, smooth-edged 

 petals, and are of imposing effect; 

 others have laciniated and fringed 

 edges, which add a charming gracei 

 but the climaxing merit of all is the 

 wonderful variety of coloring, ranging 

 from the most gorgeous down through 

 innumerable shades to purest white; 

 many are also striped, blended and 

 edged with other colors. When grown 

 in masses the floral panorama is of 

 almost unimagined beauty. They are 

 of the easiest possible culture; the 

 seed only needs to be sown thinly iu 

 May where the plants are to remain.

ENEW CROSS-BRED FRENCH ROSES.: 



FROM SEED. 



These new hybrids — the originator claims — germinate easily from seed, the plants grow- 

 ing vigorously, and commence flowering in 6 months' time; the following year, the plants, being 

 larger, yield a greater quantity of flowers; but their prime is not reached until the third season, 

 when they bloom in astonishing prodigality all summer long and continue to do so thereafter for 

 years. The plants form robust bushes, and are hardy, with slight protection, in cold climates; 

 about 80 per cent, of them produce large double flowers of all colors and shades known in Roses, 

 excepting yellow; they are, moreover, delightfully fragrant, "indeed, in our opinion, they are 

 the sweetest-perfumed roses in existence." Suitable either for garden or pot culture. Pkt. 25c.
