3445 These double-fringed annual Poppies are very beautiful; they

 the same globe-shaped formation, with gracefully fnnged-edged 

 petals like big balls of slashed tissue-paper or feathers; plants of 

 dwarf branching growth, only 15 to 18 inches high, each plant 

 carrying several of these large exquisite flowers.

Henderson's Giant Double 



"BRILLIANT BLEND" 



3455 These annual Poppies are sturdy, luxuriant growers about 2 H 

 feet high, bearing immense double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diam- 

 eter, 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 wonderful 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. (See illustration.)

Henderson's Giant Shirley 



A great advance in single annual Poppies. The flowers are immense, 

 often 4 inches across, the petals are fluted and crinkled and in the sun- 

 light appear like rumpled satin. The plants are well branched, about 

 lzinches 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 illustration.)

Iceland Poppy 



(Papaeer nadicaule) 

 Although hardy perennials, these dwarf Poppies bloom the first sea- 

 son from spring-sown seed. The fragrant, elegant, crushed-satin-like 

 flowers are produced in never-ceasing succession from the beginning of 

 June to October; fine for cutting. (See illustration.)
