Blue Thibetan Poppy 



N ^r"r\t y i A Blue Poppy at Last ! ! M syr 



Discovered by Captain Kingdon Ward in the Mountains of Thibet 



2775 Since the Hermit Kingdom was opened up by intrepid American newspaper 

 correspondents much of the mystery surrounding this center of the Blind. list 

 religion has been dissipated. 



Explorers have visited the sacred city of I.hassa and even obtaine:! audiences 

 with the Grand Llama. Captain Kingdon Ward is one of the most noted of these 

 explorers and has brought out of Thibet many natural history specimens which 

 have caused scientists to revise their conclusions on certain subjects The 

 Captain did not neglect the flora of the country either, and brought out with him 

 on returning from his last expedition into Thibet that extraordinary thing 

 — A Blue Poppy — a color hitherto unknown to the species 



This beautiful blue perennial poppy throws up from its root-slock half a dozen 

 leafy stems, two to three feet high, well furnished with broad sea-green leaves 

 and bearing freely at their heads large four petalled blooms of a glorious sky-blue 

 color, the effect of which is enhanced by a central zone of golden yellow anthers. 

 This superb plant has been accorded by the Royal Horticultural Society a First 

 Class Certificate and an Award of Merit. It is hardy, and should soon become 

 one of the most popular plants in cultivation ( See illustration. ) Pkt. SOc.
