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.

 RE-SELECTED SHIRLEY POPPY.

 study of the Shirley Poppy, and by 

 careful selection of the most beautiful 

 flowers has bred a strain which is un-

 this extra re-selected seed at my Flora- 

 croft Grounds, and is without excep-
