PETUNIA 



One of the easiest grown annuals. Can be sown where they are to 

 grow or can be started in a coldframe and transplanted for earlier 

 bloom. Seed of the double varieties should be very carefully sown, 

 as they are less vigorous, and be sure that you save all of the weak- 

 est, poorest seedlings, as they probably are the best double flowers.

 later blooming in May. For beds and

BurbaTik's Santa Kosa Poppy 



POPPY (Papaver) 



Following directly after the tulips, the Poppies give our gardens a 

 season of profusion of bloom until frost. For beds and borders, with 

 a background of green, they are very beautiful. Shirley Poppies are 

 beautiful for cutting; taking them early in the morning while the 

 dew is still on them, they will last easily all day in the house. They 

 are difficult to transplant, so seed should be sown where they are to 

 bloom. Sow thinly covering over lightly, and thin the plants to 

 standing a foot apart. 



SINGLE ANNUAL POPPIES 



BURBANK'S SANTA ROSA. This is a new strain of the well-

 color variations, with wonderful new shades of blue, lavender and 

 salmon, never before seen in the Shirley Poppy." The petals are 

 beautifully crimped, and a bed of them 

 presents a sight that is worth going
