Meconopsis Regia (Ne^v) 



3137 A grand new species discovered in 1928 in Eastern Nepal, 

 growing at a height of 14,000 feet. It may be described as a 

 very handsome, robust, biennial plant, reaching under good 

 cultivation anything from 3 to 5 feet in height. The winter 

 condition of this species is particularly handsome. The 

 long pale green leaves, often 15 inches in length, become 

 covered with soft silvery hairs, forming a rosette well over 



2 feet across, an ornament in itself and unmatched by any 

 other species of Meconopsis. From the centre of this 

 rosette there issues a central stem clothed with smaller leaves 

 and much branched. In June the first flowers open and 

 provide a display for several weeks. The color is a beautiful 

 soft yeUow, and on well-grown specimens the flowers are 

 from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, enlivened by a cluster of 

 orange stamens. Its great enemy is excessive wet during 

 winter months. If this can be guarded against, there is 

 no difSculty attending the cultivation of this fine new- 

 comer. It has received all the honors that can be bestowed 

 on a plant — both the Royal Horticultural Society's Award 

 of Merit and the First-Class Certificate. Pkt., 50 cts.; 



3 pkts., $1.25.
