Henderson’s Giant Shirley | 
A great advance in single annual Poppies. The flowers areimmense, 
often 4 inches across, the petals are fluted and,crinkled and in the sun- 
light appear like rumpled satin. The plants are well branched, about 
12 inches high, and bloom in continuous succession for weeks. There 
are white,. white-splashed, crimson, rose banded with white, salmon, 
carmine, blush, scarlet, and many splashed, striped, dotted, edged, etc. 
If cut in the bud state and the stems put in water, the flowers will open 
as well as on the plant, and the effect of a vase of Shirley Poppies is 
immensely graceful and beautiful. (See illustration.) ‘
