Pinks 



(Dianthus) The Dianthus family fur- 

 nishes many of the most beautiful flowers 

 including the Carnation, Sweet William, 

 Chinese and Japanese Pinks, in all their 

 varieties. The Finks as a class are more 

 varied in color than the Carnations but lack their fragrance. 

 Hardy and half-hardy biennials and perennials but nearly all 

 blooming the first year from seed; of easy culture. Seeds may 

 be sown in the open ground where they are to remain but 

 better results are obtained, in the north, if plants are started 

 in the house.

Poppy, Double White Fringed 



Poppy 



Single Pinks 



(Papaver) These well-known hardy 

 annuals and perennials flower in great 

 profusion throughout the summer. As 

 early in spring as ground can be 

 worked sow the seed where flowers 

 are to bloom as the annual varieties do not bear transplant- 

 ing. Cover lightly, since if planted too deep the seed will not 

 germinate. To insure continuous bloom during a long 

 season the flowers should be cut regularly and no seed pods 

 allowed to form. 



Shirley. This magnificent strain of Poppy affords during a long 

 season flowers of the most charmingly delicate shades of 

 colors imaginable, ranging from a pure glistening white 

 through the shades of pink and rose to the brightest scarlet 

 and carmine red, the darker shades frequently being mar- 

 gined with white. Some of the petals are of silky texture, 

 others look like tissue paper, some are plain, some are 

 crimped and some wavy. Flowers exceedingly graceful and 

 lend themselves readily to bouquets. If cut before the blooms 

 are fully expanded, they will keep fresh in water for several 

 days. (See colored plate on back cover) Oz. 35c Pkt. 5c. 



Tulip Flowered. Produces bright scarlet flowers borne well 

 above the foliage. The petals form a tulip-shaped cup and 

 after a time black spots appear at the base of each petal. 

 Hardy annual, one foot high. Oz. 60c Pkt. 5c.

 ties ; hardy annual Pkt. 5c. 



Cardinal, this is a very large and very double poppy,each petal 

 being so cut as to give the blossom the appearance of a large 

 ball of brilliant cardinal colored silk. It is certainly one of 

 the finest poppies in cultivation and a worthy companion to 

 our Double White Fringed Poppy from which it differs only 

 in color. Hardy annual, two feet high. Oz. 25c Pkt. 5c.

 The plants are about two and one-half feet high, upright 

 growing and so floriferous that a very fine showing is made. 

 The blooms are from three to four inches in diameter, per- 

 fectly double, finely fringed and of purest white. Hardy 

 annual. Oz. 25c Pkt. 5c.

 perennials Pkt. 5c.

 Papaver Sornniferum, used for the extraction of opium. 

 We do not furnish seed of the opium poppy.
