DOUBLE TREE PEONIES. 



The Tree Paeonies (P. Moutan) differ from the herb- 

 aceous varieties in their growth, which is in the form of 

 a dwarf shrub; they are equally free-flowering, and com- 

 mence blooming about three weeks earlier than the 

 double herbaceous sorts, and while also perfectly hardy 

 they are benefited by slight protection through the winter. 

 The varieties enumerated below have been selected from 

 a large collection, and will be found very interesting.

blush, of graceful form.

Iceland Poppies. 



Okibntal Poppy. 



PAPAVER ORIENT ALE. 



(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 ihem. 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 along in early September, or as soon as the weather 

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

 vating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, any disturbance at 

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

 varieties: 



Goliath. Fiery scarlet. 



Princess Victoria Louise. Salmon-pink. 



Mahogany. Dark crimson-maroon. 



nrs. Perry. Salmon-rose. 



Oriental King. Of enormous size; color rich blood-crimson. 



Oriflamme. A fine large orange-scarlet. 



Silberblick. Bright salmon-red, with white spots. 



Trilby. Brilliant red. 



25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. Set of 8 varieties, $1.65.

PAPAVER NUDICAULE. 



(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.
