Quite out of the ordinary is this large double Poppy, 

 called Carnation Flowered. 



POPPY Every child and every grown-up knows and loves 

 poppies and associates them with summer. What a 

 glorious riot of color they bring, with almost every 

 shade of the rainbow available in the wide range of 

 varieties ! There are 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 others follow in rapid succession to replace them, 

 and the gay show goes on. 



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

 inally 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 hairy stems, and silky petaled blossoms, often 

 fluted, present a delicate airy picture as they nod in 

 the slightest breeze.

 leaves, and bear large flowers on stout stems.
