POPPY There is something lacking in your garden or border 

 unless you have poppies of one kind or another. For every 

 child and every grown-up knows and loves these flowers and 

 associates them with summer. \Yhat a glorious riot of color 

 they bring, with almost every shade of the rainbow avail- 

 able in the wide range of varieties ! There are both double 

 and single blossoms, and both are delicate in texture and 

 graceful in form. As a rule, the individual flowers do not 

 last long, but numerous others follow in rapid succession to 

 replace them, and the gay show goes on. 



Shirley [hA-18 in.] This delightful group sprang originally 

 from the common European Field Poppy, which everyone 

 knows as the Flanders Field Poppy of the World War. The 

 plants with their deeply cut foliage, slender hairj' stems, 

 and silky petaled blossoms, often fluted, present a delicate 

 airj' picture as they nod in the slightest breeze.

Nudicaule (Iceland Poppy) [hP-R-18 in.] This hardy 

 Poppy slightly resembles the delicately formed annual 

 Shirley. However, the plants are somewhat different in 

 habit and contain many shades of yellow and orange. 

 At its base each plant forms a neat tuft of flnely cut leaves 

 above which rise bare wiry stems holding cup-shaped 

 single flowers. Iceland Poppies are valuable in a hardy 

 border or in a permanent rock garden, and when in bud 

 the are desirable for cutting.

 Australian variety of great beauty. . . . J^ oz. 60c; pkt. 15c 



Sunbeam Since it is more thrifty, with finer stems and

 first season from seed sown early, and the blossoms are un- 

 equalled for cutting.
