POPPIES— Continued. 



Bhirley. The absence of black blood pives 

 them their wonderfully light, bright tissue- 

 paper-like appearance. The colors range 

 from purest white through pinks of all 

 shades to glowing scarlet, but a scarlet 

 without black. Some are red with white 

 edges, and others veined and streaked 

 and flaked from the centre toward the 

 edges in the most charming contusion.

Iceland Poppies. {Papaver nudicaule, varie- 

 ties.) The fragrant elegant crushed-satin- 

 like flowers are produced in never-ceasing 

 succession from the beginning of June to 

 October. Not only are they attractive in 

 the garden, but for elegance in a cut state 

 they are simply unsurpassed, and they last 

 quite a week if cut as soon as open. They 

 flower the first season from seed, though 

 they are hardy herbaceous plants. {See cut.)
