 grown. 



SINGLE POPPIES, SPECIAL MIXED 



In the craze for double flowers, the equally, and 

 often more beauriful, siagle varieties are neglected. 

 Most of the new offerings of late, however, have 

 been single, and I hope you will take advantage of 

 this splendid mixture, which includes the newest and 

 best sorts, such as admiral pure white, with broad 

 band of brilliant scarlet: bride, large pure white; 

 daxebrog, scarlet with white cross; English scar- 

 let, the scarlec field poppy of Europe: firedragox, 

 deep scarlet, black spots; maid of mist, fringed 

 white; mephisto, scarlet, blackish-violet spots; 

 saxta rosa, Burbanks' selection of Shirley's; silver 

 lining, scarlet, spotted black, overlaid with silvery 

 film; tulip, tulip-shaped scarlet. All the above and 

 other choice named varieties in this special mixture.

POPPIES 



SHIRLEY POPPY 



"Acme" Mixture 



In an effort to offer the very best in 

 this most popular poppy. I have tried 

 the strains of several noted growers, and 

 have prepared for this mixture a strain 

 that cannot be excelled. Besides several 

 choice mixed strains it contains seed 

 from an English grower in fourteen 

 named varieties, making this a mixture 

 "par excellence." Nothing makes a more 

 beautiful display, either in the garden or 

 for decorating, than the Shirley Poppy. 

 They range from pure white and delicate 

 pinks to rich, gaudy hues, — all of so 

 sheeny a lustre as to be called Silk, cr 

 Ghost Poppy. One of the prettiest table 

 decorations I have seen was a dainty 

 basket of Shirleys. If picked before the 

 sunshine strikes them, and base of stems 

 dipped in boiling water, they last two 

 or three days. No better assortment 

 than mine. Pkt., 300 seeds, 4c; 1-8 oz., 

 15c.
