PETUNIA 



One of our 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 j'ou save all of the weakest, 

 poorest seedlings, as the}* probably are the best double flowers.

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, the)' 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 



2375 RE-SELECTED SHIRLEY POPPY. An English clergy- 

 man has made a study of the Shirley Poppy, and by careful 

 selection of the most beautiful flowers has bred a strain which 

 is unequaled for delicate beauty, having the finest flowers and 

 most charming markings. The seed I offer was grown from 

 this extra re-selected seed at my Floracroft Grounds, and is 

 without exception the finest strain of Shirley Poppy I have 

 ever seen. Many of the flowers are semi-double, and if cut 

 while the early dew is still on them, they will last until even- 

 ing as cut-flowers. Pkt. 10 cts., Jzoz. 50 cts. Perpkt.
