1220 Hybrida Grandiflora. We were delighted with a trial of this in 

 our experimental grounds. The plants grew into sturdy bushes about 

 3 feet high, with very ornamental pale green, spiny foliage, with clear, 

 silvery midrib and veins and poppy-like flowers of satiny texture, over 

 3 inches across, in various shades from rich yellow to creamy white. It 

 came into bloom early in July, and continued without interruption till 

 November. It is best to sow the seed where they are intended to bloom 

 as soon as the ground is warm, and should have a sunny location, and 

 prefers light soil. A very pretty and ornamental plant in or out of 

 bloom. 2 pkts. , 25 cts 15
