Meconopsis Regia (New) 



3137 A grand new species discovered in 1928 in Eastern Nepal, growing at a 

 height of 14,000 feet. It may be described as a very handsome, robust, 

 biennial plant, reaching under good cultivation anything from 3 to 5 feet 

 in height. The winter condition of this species is particularly handsome. 

 The long pale green leaves, often 15 inches in length, become covered 

 with soft silvery hairs, forming a rosette well over 2 feet across, an 

 ornament in itself and unmatched by any other species of Meconopsis. 

 From the centre of this rosette there issues a central stem clothed with 

 smaller leaves and much branched. In June the first flowers 

 open and provide a display for several weeks. The color is 

 a beautiful soft yellow, and on well-grown specimens the 

 flowers are from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, enlivened by a 

 cluster of orange stamens. Its great enemy is excessive 

 wet during winter months. If this can be guarded against, 

 there is no difficulty attending the cultivation of this fine 

 new-comer. It has received all the honors that can be 

 bestowed on a plant — both the Royal Horticultural Society's 

 Award of Merit and the First-Class Certificate. Pkt., 

 50 cts.; 3 pkts., $1.25.
