CERISE BEDDER. Brilliant cerise, producing a 

 great abundance of flowers. Each 50c 



EDNA PERRY. A very bright and lovely pink of 

 good form. Each 75c 



ENCHANTRESS. Soft lilac-rose, a near approach 

 to lavender. Opens perfectly, holds its color remark- 

 ably well for this shade. A true novelty of excep- 

 tional merit. Only a very few plants. NET, each $5 



HENRI CAYEUX. Deep old rose, shaded into wine 

 color. An unusual and very beautiful poppy quite 

 unlike any other. Should be grown in a spot pro- 

 tected from hot afternoon sun. Each 75c 



KING GEORGE. Large fringed flowers of bril- 

 liant scarlet, petals deeply cut like a parrot tulip. 

 Medium height, fast increaser. Each 50c 



LORD LAMBOURNE. Fringed, like the foregoing 

 but with heavy black blotches and a slightly dif- 

 ferent shade. Each 50c 



LULU NEELEY. Finest Oriental Poppy in the 



world today that can be sold at a popular price. A 

 prolific blooming sort of deep blood-red, massive in 

 size, on tall straight stems.

MASTERPIECE. Lilac color, marvelous flower, 

 but should be grown with slight protection from the 

 sun to prevent fading of the delicate color. Each $1

 the scarlet tone, with black spots. Each 50c 



MRS. FISHER. Extra large, deep crimson, 4-ft. 

 stems. Each $1 



MRS. PERRY. A very lovely salmon-pink. 



Each 50c 



OLYMPIA. A fluffy double poppy of soft orange, 

 with gray stamens in the center. Very free bloomer, 

 and the only double variety in the list. Increases 

 very rapidly by runners, so plant away from other 

 varieties. Each 25c ; three for 50c ; $1.75 doz. 



PEARL PINK. Very fine and distinct ; a delicate 

 shade of light pearly pink, vigorous and prolific. 

 Appears like one large tulip within a larger one. Its 

 delicate color cannot stand the strong reds and bright 

 salmons, and to see it at its best, should be planted 

 with blue iris or an early delphinium. Stock limited. 

 Medium height. NET, each $2.00 



PERFECTION. Large deep flowers, entrancing 

 shade of pink with immense black spots at base. 



Each $1

 flower of good finish, with prominent black and red 

 base spots. To 40 inches tall. Each 75c

 appeal. Stiff erect stems to 44 inches tall. Blooms 

 7 to 9 inches across. "Well named. NET, each $1.50 



SPLENDOUR. (Howe, 1933.) This new and en- 

 tirely distinct novelty was catalogued for the first 

 time last season. Brilliant, huge, entirely novel 

 in color, this blend of peach and apricot, entirely 

 overlaid salmon, is unlike any poppy we have ever 

 seen. Very late, and a vigorous grower. Each $3.00 



TRILBY. One of the last to bloom. Dark, lustrous, 

 deep red, the petals having a plaited appearance. 

 Very large, and one of the finest of all poppies. 



Each $2 



WATTEAU. Pure flesh-coral; covered with flow- 

 ers. No blotch on petals. This is one of the rarest 

 and loveliest in our list. Each $1.50; three for $4.00 



WELCOME. Deep scarlet, shaggy, with dusty 

 black center. Very large. Each $1.00 



WURTEMBERGIA. Enormous cerise scarlet ; very 

 tall growing. An outstanding flower, attaining al- 

 most unbelievable size. Each $1
