 bearing immense double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as large 

 as Peonies. Some of the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals, 

 and are of imposing effect; others have lacinated and fringed edges 

 which add a charming grace; but the climaxing merit of all is the wonder- 

 ful variety of coloring, ranging from the most gorgeous crimson 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.

"It may interest you to know that Henderson's Giant Double Poppies were 

 grown alongside of some double poppies grown from seed obtained from other 

 sources. Henderson's far surpassed all the others in size and beauty. The 

 colors were the prettiest imaginable. Many people told me they had never before 

 seen such beautiful Poppies."

POPPY, English Scarlet Field 



3465 The famous Scarlet Poppy of the English fields. 



Per 1,000 seeds, 25c; Pkt., 10c. 



POPPY, Flanders 



3466 The scarlet Poppy of the fields of Flanders, made famous in the song and 

 story of the great war, and familiar to all the members of the A. E. F. 

 who served in Belgium and France. Adopted by the American Legion 

 for their emblem. 



These ubiquitous little flowers are remarkable for their tenacity of 

 growth and their profuse flowering quality, there seemingly being no end 

 to their productiveness. They do not attain as large a size as a well 

 grown Shirley Poppy, but apart from the sentiment now attached to 

 them, they are a decided acquisition, being gracefully poised on slender 

 stems, flaunting and waving their satiny crinkled scarlet petals in every 

 passing breeze. They flower the first season from spring-sown seed.
