white, white-splashed crimson, rose banded with white, salmon, carmine, 



blush, scarlet, and many splashed, striped, dotted and edged, etc.

DOUBLE ANNUAL POPPIES. 



I HENDERSON'S GIANT DOUBLE POPPIES. 



This "Brilliant Mixture" of double annual Poppies has been made from 

 exclusively improved giant double-flowering sorts, and none but the richest, 

 most brilliant, as well as the daintiest and loveliest, shades and colors are 

 included. The plants are sturdy, luxuriant growers about 2J4 feet high, 

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

 ies. Some of the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals, and are of 

 imposing effect; others have laciniated and fringed edges which add a charm- 

 ing 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.
