ROMNEYA COIXTERI. 



Great White California 'Poppy. A fine 

 perennial of stately beauty, flowering from 

 July until November. Valuable as a cut 

 flower, lasting well in water; of delicate 

 primrose-like perfume. Our collector writes: 

 " If you could only see these plants, now in 

 bloom, I am sure you would agree with me 

 that there is no finer perennial grown. At 

 first I took them to be large single white Poo- 

 nies, as they resemble them very much in foli- 

 age as well as in the flowers; the latter are 

 large (4 to 5 inches across), pure white, with 

 a fine bunch of yellow stamens. The plants 

 attain a height here of 6 to 8 feet.". It will 

 be hardy south of Washington, but north 

 of that latitude it will require eold green- 

 house protection In winter. (See cut.).. '15

 any open place in ordinary garden soil 15
