BURBANK’S “SANTA ROSA” STRAIN OF 
SHIRLEY POPPIES. 
8700 We have secured direct from Mr. Luther Burbank a quantity of his 
“Santa Rosa” strain of this charming Poppy, which he describes as follows : 
“‘ Produced by years of rigid selection and acknowledged to be the best 
and most varied strain in existence; unusually large flowers, re- 
markably clear colors, including new striped, new salmon 
shades and new blush ones, all mixed.”’ We also offer 
below our own select strain. It should prove highly in- 
teresting to try both side hy side. We would be glad to 
have our customers report the results. 15 cts. per pkt.; 
2 pkts., 25 cts. 
DREER’S SELECT 
SHIRLEY POPPIES. 
3696 This is an extra select strain, saved from not less 
than 18 distinct colors. They are single and occa- 
sionally semi-double, and in color so varied that scarcely 
any two are exactly alike. They should be sown in the 
open border where they are to remain, very thinly and 
barely covered, preferably after a shower or in cloudy weather. 
They come up in a few days, and are soon a mass of bloom. It 
is well to make several sowings at intervals in the same bed to 
keep up a succession of bloom. The flowers, if picked just before 
expanding, will last for several days. 10 cts. per pkt.; 50c. per oz. 
ICELAND POPPIES. 
(Papaver Nudicaule.) 
Our color plate of these, facing page 154, is so close to nature that a 
description of their graceful blos- 
soms Is not necessary. The 
plants form evergreen tufts of 
fern-like foliage, from which 
spring up the flowers, on stems a 
foot high, in constant succession 
all summer. Perfectly hardy 
and will bloom the first year 
from seed if sown early.
