P^ONIA TENUIFOI.IA 

 FLORE PLEXA. 



Interesting and handsome, not only on ac- 

 count of their rich crimson double flowers, which 

 reseml)le in color the Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, 

 but the fine, feathery foliage makes a handsome 

 ornamental plant. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



PAP AVER NUDICAUI^E. 



(Iceland Poppy.) 



The plant is of neat habit, forming a tuft of 

 bright green fern-like foliage, from which spring, 

 throughout the entire season, a profusion of 

 slender leafless stems 1 foot high, each graced 

 with charming cup-shaped flowers. We offer 

 them in three colors, viz., white, yellow and 

 orange-scarlet, or in mixture. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Iceland Poppies. 



Perry's White Oriental Poppy. 



NEIV IJVHITE ORIENT AI. POPPY 



(Perry's White). 



A sterling novelty, and the most distinct break that has yet been 

 made in Oriental Poppies, it being a pure satiny white, with a bold 

 crimson blotch at the base of each petal. It is unquestionably the 

 most important addition to the list of new Hardy Perennial Plants 

 this season; strong flowering size. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



PAP AVER ORIEXTALE. 



(Oriental Poppy). 



These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, grow- 

 ing 3 to 3J feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom all 

 the annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich 

 and brilliant coloring nothing equals them during their period of 

 flowering in May and June, and whether planted singly or in masses 

 their large flowers and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in 

 any position. They are of ihe easiest culture; almost any kind of 

 soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich loam; set the plants 

 out in fall or early spring before the first of May — give them water 

 occasionally during dry spells in the early part of the season; mulch 

 with stable litter in fall, and they will increase in size and florifer- 

 ousness for several years. After flowering the plants die back, 

 usually reappearing in early September, or as soon as the weather 

 gets cool. During this resting period care should be taken in cul- 

 tivating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, any disturbance 

 at this time usually resulting in failure. We offer the following 

 distinct varieties: 

 Qoliath. Fiery scarlet. 

 Princess Victoria Louise. Salmon-pink. 

 Mahony. l)ark crimson maroon, shaded mahogany. 

 Mrs. Perry. Salmon-rose. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. Set of 5 varieties, including Perry's 



White, for $1.1.'5. 

 Finest Mixed Seedlings. 15 cts. each; Jl.'SO per doz.; 



$10.00 per 100. 



THE NEW WHITE ORIENTAL POPPY offered on this page is decidedly novel.
