Shirley, Silk ot^ Ghost Poppy 



(The Rev. W. Wilks' Re-selected Stock) 



2378. The Shirley Poppy is not new, but the stock we here offer will be a revelation to all lovers of the beautiful. They 

 iave been specially grown from new varieties, selected by the Rev. W. Wilks (the originator of the Shirle.v Poppy), so that 

 this strain is one of superlative excellence, and many beautiful new forms, unknown before, will be found. They are especially 

 strong in shades of terra-cotta and combinations^of this with pink and scarlet. Many lovers of flowers have the impression 

 that the Shirley Poppy is too fragile to stand picking, but such is not the case. If g.\lhered early in the morning while the 

 dew is still on them and before tlie rays of the hot sun have affected them, and placed in water, they will last in all their 

 beauty for forty-eight hours. Price, lOe. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 2oc.
