HUNNEMAIVNIA FUHARI^FOLIA 



(Giant Yellow Tulip Poppy.) 



2821 In our trial grounds the past two seasons this was one of the 

 showiest and most satisfactory plants in over four hundred 

 trials. The seed was sown early in May, and by the mid- 

 dle of July the plants were covered with their large 

 buttercup-yellow poppy-like blossoms, and they 

 were never out of flower until hard frost. The 

 plants grow about 2 feet high, are quite bushy, 

 with beautiful feathery glaucous foliage. (See cut.) 10

HuNKEMANfCIA, 



Giant Yellow 'I'ulif Poppy. 



IIOI.I.YIIOCK. 



One of the most majestic of 

 hardy plants, and a clump or 

 line in any garden gives an 

 effect not attainable with any 

 other plant. For planting 

 among shrubbery or forming a 

 background for other flowers 

 it is without equal. The seeds 

 offered have been saved from 

 a superb strain of the finest 

 double flowers. per pkt. 



2781 Mammoth 

 Fringert "Al- 

 legheny." An en- 

 tirely new departure 

 which has much to 

 commend it. The 

 mammoth flowers are 

 wonderfully formed 

 of loosely arranged 

 fringed petals, which 

 look as if made from 

 the finest China silk, 

 and M'hen cut are 

 hardly recognizable 

 as a hollyhock, hav- 

 ing none of the for- 

 mality of the ordinary- 

 type. The colors vary 

 from the palest 

 shrimp pink to deep 

 red. The jjlants are 

 of strong growth, 

 sending up spikes 6 

 to 7 feet high. (See
