IH!HRTA:DRE!R WILADPHIAm-^/ SLOWER SEED JfOVEbTIK- \M 



POLYGONUM BAI.DSCHUA1MCUM. 



3671 This plant has been the subject of much comment by the horticulturists 

 of the Old World the past year or two, and all agree that it is one of the 

 finest hardy perennial climbing plants ever introduced. Its dissemina- 

 tion has been slow, owing to difficulty in propagation, but now 

 that we are able to ofJer seeds, we believe its cultivation 

 will soon become general. In general appearance it resembles 

 the Madeira Vine, growing from 1,5 to 20 leet high, but forms a 

 much more dense plant, covering better. From July to September 

 the panicles of white, foamy flowers completely envelop the upper 

 portion of the vine, forming a picture of unequalled beauty. 

 30 cts. per ukt. of 2.5 seeds; 3 pkts. for 75 cis. We also offer 

 plants. See page 19.

Dwarf Shirley 

 Poppy. 



3701 The Shirley Poppies are the 

 most popular of all single 

 annual sorts, the wide 

 range of color and lissue- 

 paper-like fineness of the 

 flowers being admired by 

 all. This new strain is 

 identical in every way to 

 the type, except in height, 

 growing only 18 inches 

 high, making them suit- 

 able for many positions 

 for which the taller-grow- 

 ing parent is unsuited. 

 Charming for cutting, for 

 which purpose they should 

 he cut in the bud slate.
