 should be followed in the case of the double-flowering annual sorts. 

 They make a gorgeous showing during their flowering period and 

 are largely used for beds and borders. Because many of these are 

 of stronger growth than the single varieties they must be thinned 

 to stand 6 to 8 inches apart in the row.

New Hybrid Iceland Pnpjiy 



Iceland Poppies— Papaver nudicaule |hp] A 



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 15 inches high, bearing 

 their briUiant flowers in endless profusion. Most useful for cutting, 

 for which purpose pick when in bud. If the seed pods are picked 

 off, the plants continue in flower the entire season. They remain 

 evergreen throughout the winter, coming into bloom early the 

 following spring.

 stiffer. Magnificent large blooms 4 to 5 inches across. Fine for
