Hunnemannia 



HUMULUS (Japanese Hop). HHA. Did you ever wish for a rapid climber which would 

 quickly shade a sunny porch or hide an unsightly view or keep out busy eyes? Humulus 

 will do all this in record time. Sown end of May, it will, witbin jour to six weeks, climb 10 to 

 15 feet, covering arbor or trellis with dense, highly ornamental foliage, followed by clusters 

 of white flowers.

3544 HUNNEMANNIA fumariaefolia (Giant Yellow Tulip Poppy). HA. A member of 

 the Poppy family deserving the increased attention of our customers. Sown early in May, 

 it will quickly grow bushy plants, about 1J4 f eet tall, with glaucous-blue, finely feathered 

 foliage and large, buttercup-like, bright yellow flowers, which average 3 inches across, 

 borne on 12-inch stems, from July until frost. They last a week in water after cutting, and
