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 you save all of the weakest, 

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

PHLOX DRUMMONDII 



The annual varieties should be sown in masses or ribbon beds. 

 They are very easily grown from seed, giving a brilliant display of 

 color. Sow as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring 

 and for later blooming in May. For beds and massing nothing can 

 surpass these beautiful annuals. They produce immense trusses of 

 large, brilliant floweis of numberless hues throughout the summer.

POPPY (Papaver) 



Following directl}- after the tulips, the Poppies gi\e 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 easilj- all day in the house. They 

 are difficult to transplant, so seed should be sown where thej- are to 

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

 standing a foot apart. 



SINGLE ANNUAL POPPIES 

 RE-SELECTED SHIRLEY POPPY. An English clergyman 

 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 mark- 

 ings. 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 evening as cut-flowers. Pkt. 5 cts., Koz. 50 cts.
