Pentstemon 

 Sensation. 



Oriental Poppy. 



PAPATER ORIEI^TAI^E 



(Oriental Poppy.) 



These are the regal representatives of this 

 popular genus, 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 the 

 easiest culture; almost any kind of soil suits 

 them, but they do best in deep, rich loam; 

 set the plants out in fall or very early spring; 

 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 floriferousness 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 cultivating the beds that the roots 

 are not disturbed, any disturbance at this time usually resulting in 

 failure. We oflfer the following distinct varieties: 

 Qoliath. Fiery scarlet. 

 Princess Victoria Louise. Salmon-pink. 

 Mahony. Dark crimson-maroon, shaded mahogany. 

 Mrs. Perry. Salmon-rose. 

 Trilby. Brilliant red.
