 3 to 4 feet high, bearing freely during the summer months spikes 

 of delicate pink tubular flowers not unlike a gigantic heather 10 



ICELAND POPPIES (Papaver Nudicaule) 



While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from seed, 

 blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of graceful, neat 

 habit, with bright green fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which issue 

 slender stalks about 12 inches high, bearing their brilliant flowers in end- 

 less profusion ; most useful for cutting, for which purpose pick when in bud, 

 and, if the seed pods are picked off, continue in flower 

 the entire season.

HARDY PERENNIAL ORIENTAL 

 POPPIES 



Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring in the 

 open ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants dis- 

 appear during July and August, appearing again as soon 

 as the weather gets cool. When this fall growth starts 

 is the time they should be transplanted to their permanent 

 flowering quarters. It is well to mark the places they are 

 planted with a stake to insure the roots against dis- 

 turbance during their annual resting period.
