POPPY, HENDERSON'S GIANT SHIRLEY 



(470 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 immensely graceful and beautiful. (See 

 engraving )
