Oriental Poppy. 



ORIENTAL, POPPY (Papaver Orientale). 



For a gorgeous display of rich, brilliant coloring, nothing can

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

 large flowers render them conspicuous in any position. 

 Goliath. Fiery scarlet. 

 Mahogany. Dark crimson-maroon. 

 Mrs. Perry. Salmon-rose. 

 Princess Louise. Sa'mon-pink. 

 Silberblick. Bright salmon-red, with white spots.

 strain of seed, and embrace a fine range of colors. 10 cts. 

 each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Veris Superba. A giant-flowered form of the English Cow- 

 slip, producing individual flowers from 1 to 2 inches across in 

 heavy trusses, which measure from 10 to 15 inches in circum- 

 ference; in color they are a bright canary-yellow with a golden 

 centre; perfectly hardy, and when in flower present a com- 

 plete sheet of bloom. (See cut. ) 



Vulgaris (English Primrose). An old favorite, and should 

 be found in every garden, one of the earliest spring flowers; 

 of bright canary-yellow; very fragrant. 



Cortusoides Sieboldii. These are not so well known as they 

 deserve; they are of free growth, with dark green foliage, and 

 throw up in late spring innumerable stems of large flowers. 

 They succeed under the same conditions as the common hardy 

 Primroses, and are also useful for forcing under glass, making 

 beautiful pot plants. We offer as follows: 

 Else Beyer. Bright rose, with lighter centre. 

 Lilacina Marginata. Large white flowers, veined with 



mauve on the edges. 

 Queen Victoria. Very fine, large pure white. 

 Robert Herold. Large flowers of a bright rosy-crimson 



with white eye.

PULMONARIA (Lungwort, Bethlehem Sage). 



Saccharata Maculata. A beautiful plant, rivaling in 

 the markings of its foliage many of the choicest hot- 

 house plants; of easy culture; foliage deep green, hand- 

 somely mottled with silver-gray, and terminal 1 foot 

 high spikes of pink, changing to blue flowers during 

 May and June. 25 cts. each; $2,50 per doz.; $15.00 

 per 100.

Hybridum FI. PI. Too much cannot be said in favor 

 of this grand hardy perennial, which will thrive in any 

 good garden soil where there is good drainage and full 

 exposure to the sun. Splendid for cutting, lasting a 

 week in good condition,

 ing the greater part of the summer, with numerous
