California Poppy 



Large Chi nese Bell flower ; very 

 fine flowering plants. 



Curious and pretty. Do well ex- 

 posed to the sun. 



Requires moist, shady situation. 



Prefers peaty soil. 



See Jacob's Ladder, No. 3308. 



(Primula.) Fine varieties. 

 From named varieties 



(Papaver.) Very showy and free 

 flowering. For beds or bor- 

 ders, with a background of 

 green, they are beautiful ; ad- 

 mirable for naturalizing in 

 woody spots ; they are also fine 

 for cut-flower use. Seed should 

 be kept from forming to secure 

 continuous flowering. They are 

 easily cultivated, the most suit- 

 able soil being a sandy loam. 

 4037a is a magnificent variety of 

 recent introduction, unsurpass- 

 ed for beauty of coloring and 

 gracefulness of form. 4038 is 

 called the "Tulip Poppy "on 

 account of the intensity and 

 brilliancy of its flowers, resem- 

 bling the scarlet Due van Thol 

 Tulips. 4050 is of compact and 

 robust habit and is brilliantly 

 variegated in scarlet and white. 



These cannot be rivaled for the 

 brilliancy and delicacy of their 

 colors, and are very effective in 

 beds, edgings or rock-work. 

 The last seven have double 

 flowers, and are very beautiful, 

 many of them resembling min- 

 iature roses The seed of these 

 always contains many single 

 flowers, which bloom earlier 

 than the double ones, and may 

 in this way all be pulled out be- 

 fore the double ones come into 

 flower. Portulacas bloom best 

 in a light, sandy soil. They 

 will not germinate till hot 

 weather sets in, and seed should 

 therefore be sown late. 



Showy and hardy border plants. 



(Petalostemon.) Pretty herbace- 

 ous plants. 



These are the Hardy Primroses. 

 P. Japonica is called the "Queen 

 of Primroses."
