Iceland Poppies (Papaver Nudicaule) 



While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from 

 seed, blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of 

 graceful neat habit, with bright green fern-like foliage, formed in 

 tufts, from which issue slender stalks about 15 inches high, bearing 

 their brilliant flowers in endless profusion; most useful for cutting, 

 for which purpose pick when in bud, and, if the seed pods are 

 picked off, continue in flower the entire season. They remain 

 evergreen throughout the winter, coming into bloom early the 

 following spring. 



3731 Coonara Pink (New). This beautiful strain contained 

 many lovely and harmonious shades of color. Our grower 

 by very careful selection and rogueing has practically elimin- 

 ated all colors excepting pink. 25 cts. per pkt; special
