Just picture these Poppjcs in Vo u f Garden! 



PLATYCODON (Japanese Bell Flower) [hP-18 in.] Above 

 the silvery green foliage of this summer blooming perennial 

 rise several slender stalks ending in handsome spikes 

 adorned with large cup-shaped flowers. Just before opening, 

 the buds look like small balloons. When expanded, the 

 pointed lobes of the bells are slightly recurved resembling 

 lihes. Their color is a deep blue with a sparkling sheen. It 

 is excellent in the permanent border or in a semi-shaded 

 rock garden where the color becomes more intense.

When you have once enjoyed brilliant Iceland Poppies in your 

 garden, you will want them popping up every year. 



POPPY Every child and every grown-up knows and loves 

 poppies and associates them with summer. What a glorious 

 riot of color they bring, with almost every shade of the 

 rainbow available in the wide range of varieties ! There are 

 double and single blossoms, and both are delicate in texture 

 and graceful in form. As a rule, the individual flowers do 

 not last long, but others follow in rapid succession to replace 

 them, and the gay show goes on. 



Shirley [hA-18 in.] This delightful group sprang originally 

 from the common European field poppy, which everyone 

 knows as the Flanders Field Poppy of the World War. The 

 plants with their deeply cut foliage, slender hairy stems, 

 and silky petaled blossoms, often fluted, present a delicate 

 airy picture as they nod in the slightest breeze.

 white cross at center. The best substitute for the wild 

 Flanders Poppj' K oz. 40c

Tall Somniferum [hA-3 ft.] It is to this class that 

 the Opium Poppy of the Orient belongs, but we do 

 not handle the seed of that particular variety. These 

 robust plants are of imposing stature, carry an abun- 

 dance of thick wide leaves, and bear large flowers 

 on stout stems. 



Single Mixed A varied collection of single deeply 

 cupped flowers, many with fringed petals. 



Double Carnation Flowered Mixed Perfectly double, 

 globular flowers with fringed petals in many brilHant 

 colors. 



DoublejPeony Flowered Mixed Bold double ball- 

 shaped blooms, plain edged petals, resembling the 

 Peony in form.

Double Choice Mixed A wide selection of vivid 

 colors chosen from the Carnation and Peony types.

Nudicaule (Iceland Poppy) [hP-R-18 in.] This hardy 

 Poppy slightly resembles the delicately formed annual 

 Shirley. However, the plants are somewhat different 

 in habit and contain many shades of yellow and 

 orange. At its base each plant forms a neat tuft of 

 finely cut leaves above which rise bare wiry stems 

 holding cup-shaped single flowers. Iceland Poppies 

 are valuable in a hardy border or in a permanent rock 

 garden, and when in bud they are desirable for 

 cutting. 



Coonara Pink Hybrids Clear shades, from pale 

 pastels to deep rose. An Australian variety of great 

 beauty K oz. 60c; pkt. 15c 



Sunbeam Since it is more thrifty, with finer stems 

 and handsomer flowers, this is an improvement over 

 the original Iceland strain. The plants will produce 

 flowers the first season from seed so^ti early, and 

 the blossoms are unequalled for cutting.
