PER P 



3691 Danebrog, or Danish Cross. 



Very showy variety, producing large 

 single flowers of brilliant scarlet, with 

 a silvery-white spot on each petal, thus 

 forming a white cross 



3696 Shirley. These charming Poppies 

 are single or semi-double. The range 

 of color, extending from pure white 

 through the most delicate shades of pale 

 pink, rose and carmine to deepest crim- 

 son, is so varied that scarcely two are 

 alike, while many are delicately edged 

 and striped. The blooms, if cut when 

 young, will stand for several days with- 

 out drooping. (See cut.) Per oz., 40 cts 5 



3701 Dwarf Shirley. This strain is identical in every way to the 

 above, except in height, growing only 18 inches high, making them 

 suitable for many positions for which the taller-growing parent is un- 

 suiled. Charming for cutting, for which purpose they should be cut 

 in the bud slate 10 



3698 Umbrosum. Richest vermilion, with a deep shining black spot 



on each petal 5 



A great advance has been made in recent years in the development of the Poppy 

 which has brought it into deserved popularity, and it may be safely said that no other 

 flower produces a more brilliant display of color during the blooming period. Annual 



Poppies should be sown where they are to remain, as they do not stand 



transplanting.
