Henderson's Giant Double Poppies 



"BRILLIANT BLEND" 



These Annual Poppies are sturdy, luxuriant growers about 2}4 feet high, bear- 



^5» ing immense double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as large as Peonies. 



^H Some of the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals, and are of imposing 



' effect; others have laciniated and fringed edges which add a charming grace; 



but the climaxing merit of all is the wonderful variety of coloring, ranging from 



the most gorgeous down through innumerable shades to purest white; many are also 



striped, blended and edged with other colors. When grown in masses the floral 



panorama is of almost unimagined beauty. They are of the easiest possible culture; 



the seed only needs to be sown thinly in May where the plants are to remain. 



"Brilliant Blend" Mixture Per 1,000 seeds, 25c; per oz., 50c; Pkt., 10c. 



"It may interest yo:i to know that Henderson's Giant Double Poppies were 

 ^^ planted alongside poppies from two other noted seed houses and yours far sur- 

 passed, both in size and beauty. The colors are the prettiest imaginable; many 

 people see them and say they never saw such beautiful poppies."

Henderson's Giant Shirley Poppies 



A great advance in single annual Poppies. The flowers are immense, often 4 

 inches across, the petals are fluted and crinkled and in the sunlight appear like 

 rumpled satin. The plants are well branched, about 12 inches high, and bloom in 

 continuous succession for weeks. There are white, white-splashed crimson, rose 

 banded with white, salmon, carmine, blush, scarlet, and many splashed, striped, 

 dotted, edged, etc. If cut in the bud state and the stems put in water, the flowers 

 will open as well as on the plant, and the effect of a vase of Shirley Poppies is im- 

 mensely graceful and beautiful.
