 grown. 



SINGLE POPPIES, SPECIAL MIXED

 often more beautiful, single varieties are neglected. 

 This splendid mixture includes the newest and best 

 sorts, such as Admiral pure white, with broad band 

 of brilliant scarlet; Bride, large pure white; Dane- 

 brog, scariet with white cross; English Scarlet, the 

 scarlet field poppy of Europe; Firedragon, deep 

 scarlet, black spots; Maid of Mist, fringed white; 

 best selection of Shirley's and the showy Tulip, a 

 tulip-shaped scarlet. ^ All the above and other 

 choice named varieties in this special mixture.

Acme Mixture. In an effort to offer 

 the very best in this most popular 

 poppy. I have tried tlie strains of sev- 

 eral noted growers, and have prepared 

 for this mixture a strain that cannot be 

 excelled. Nothing makes a more beau- 

 tiful display, either in the garden or for 

 decorating, than the Shirley Poppy. 

 They range from pure white and deli- 

 cate 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., 300 seeds, 4c; \4, oz., 

 15c.
