MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



ai 



BRIGID. or POPPY. ANEMONE. 



Nothing could be more glorious than a bed of these new Irish Poppies when in flower. One might well compare It to 

 a kaleidoscope picture, glistening with and reflecting thousands of bright colors, or to some bright oriental carpet whereon 

 the artist has exercised his ingenuity to blend pleasing and effective colors. Indeed, the flowers produced by this new 

 strain show all the colors of the rainbow, and many more; for even black and white are found among them, as well as 

 shades of pink, rose, crimson, flery scarlet, carmine, maroon, tints of lilac, lavender, blue, purple, even green. Many 

 flowers are curiously mottled^ striped, edged, ringed and shaded with the various tints described above, the effect produced 

 being almost bewildering. They are frequently 5 to 6 inches across ; some single, but most double, with x)lain, scalloped 

 or fringed edges. 



Sown early and planted in the garden in rich soil, they will bloom profusely and frequently until well after frosts have 

 rut down other tender plants ; and being perfectly hardy, they Avill bloom again the next season in greater profusion than 



ever. For cutting they are unsur- 

 .passed, as the flowers and the fern- 

 like foliage remain fresh in water 

 for over a week.
