POPPIES 



SHIRLEY POPPY ''Acme" Mixture 



In an effort to offer the very best in 

 this most popular poppy, I have tried 

 the strains of several noted growers, 

 and am offering this year in this mix- 

 ture a strain that cannot be excelled. 

 It is made up of seeds of Burbank's 

 choicest selection, together with seed 

 from an English grower, which I have 

 obtained in fourteen named varieties, 

 making this a mixture "par excel- 

 lence." Nothing makes a more beau- 

 tiful display, either in the garden or 

 for decorating, than the Shirley Pop- 

 py. They range from pure white and 

 delicate pinks to rich, gaudy hues, — 

 all of so sheeny a lustre as to be 

 called Silk, or Ghost Poppy. One of 

 the prettiest table decorations I have 

 seen was a dainty basket of Shirleys. 

 If picked before the sunshine strikes 

 them, and base of stems dipped in 

 boiling water, they last two or three 

 days. No better assortment than 

 mine. Pkt., 400 seeds, 6c; % oz., 15c. 

 New Shirley Poppy, Celeste. 

 Beautiful sky-blue, lavender and gray 

 shades, very choice and rare. A strain 

 put on the market this year by Bur- 

 bank, and never before offered 

 Pkt., 200 seeds, 5c.

One-half packet each of the 14 named sorts

PERENNIAL POPPIES 



Pkt.. 400 seeds, 5c; 1-16 oz., 10c. 



Iceland Poppy. The shades range from 

 pure white to deep orang-e scarlet, with petals 

 beautifully crinkled like crushed satin. They 

 come early and stay a long time. 



Oriental Poppy. A gorgeous flower for 

 the perennial bed. It grows three to four 

 feet high and bears immense scarlet blos- 

 soms, six to nine inches in diameter. Differ- 

 ent shades of scarlet and orange, mixed. 

 Pkt., 400 seeds, 5c.

Japanese Poppy. Large, loosely double white 

 flowers with deep border of brilliant scarlet, either 

 solid or striped, and with petals fantastically cut 

 and fringed. (See upper flower in illustration.) 

 Three lovely sorts, — American Flag, Fairy Blush, 

 and Mikado, — mixed.

 the above three; also strains of Paeony -flowered 

 (see flower on the right), Carnation-flowered (see

 poppy grown. 



SINGLE POPPIES, SPECIAL MIXED 



In the craze for double flowers, the equally, and 

 often more beautiful, single varieties are neglected. 

 Most of the new offerings of late, however, have 

 been single, and I hope you will take advantage of 

 this splendid mixture, which includes eleven of the 

 newest and best sorts, such as ADMIRAL, petals 

 pure white, with broad band of brilliant scarlet; 

 DAINTY LADY, rosy mauve, with dark blotches; 

 DANEBROG, scarlet with white cross; TULIP, 

 brilliant scarlet; CHARLES DARWIN, rich dark 

 purple with black, velvety spots; TTMBROSUM, 

 vermilion with black spots; and MAID OF THE 

 MIST, white. Some have fringed or fluted petals, 

 and all are more or less cup-shaped. Pkt., 400 

 seeds, 5e; 2 pkts., 8c; % oz., 15c.
