Meconopsis Regia (New) 



3137 A grand new species discovered in 1928 in Eastern Nepal, growing at a 

 height of 14,000 feet. It may be described as a very handsome, robust, 

 biennial plant, reaching under good cultivation anything from 3 to 5 feet in 

 height. The winter condition of this species is particularly handsome. The 

 long pale green leaves, often IS inches in length, become covered with soft 

 silvery hairs, forming a rosette well over 2 feet across, an ornament in itself 

 and unmatched by any other species of Meconopsis. From the centre of this 

 rosette there issues a central stem clothed with smaller leaves and much 

 branched. In June the first flowers open and provide a display for several 

 weeks. The color is a beautiful soft yellow, and on well-grown specimens 

 the flowers are from 4 to 6 inches in diameter, enlivened by a cluster of 

 orange stamens. Its great enemy is excessive wet during winter months. 

 If this can be guarded against, there is no difficulty attending the cultivation 

 of this fine new-comer. It has received all the honors that can be be- 

 stowed on a plant — both the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Merit 

 and the First-Class Certificate. Supply of seeds very limited. (See cut.)

Double Sweet Scented Nasturtium 

 Golden Gleam 



The sensational seed novelty of 1932 

 3285 The plant forms a vigorous, large bush which throws out short runners, 

 averaging eighteen inches. The flowers commence to come as soon as the 

 plant nears complete development, and at the time it is in full bloom the 

 entire plant, including the runners, is a blaze of color. The large, golden- 

 yellow flowers average two and one-half to three inches across. They are 

 borne on erect, stiff stems six inches in length. Consequently the flowers 

 stand well above the foliage, an arrangement which adds immeasurably to 

 the showy appearance of the plant. 



When well grown these flowers have the appearance of a fully double 

 flower, and are most attractive. An ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed 

 to remain in a room for a short period of time will fill the room with fra- 

 grance. (See cut.) Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 75 cts.
