Poppy, Admiral 
This is another charming variety of the sin- 
gle paeony-flowered Poppy, having large 
smooth-edged flowers of pure glistening white, 
with a broad band of brilliant scarlet around 
the top of the flower, forming a striking con- 
trast of colors and producing a magnificent 
effect when planted in groups. Pkt. 10c.

Payne's Selected Giant Shirley Poppy 
The Shirley Poppy is probably the greatest 
favorite of all the many varieties of this very 
popular class of plants. For sowing broad- 
cast in large beds where a display of color is 
required in a short time, it has no equal ; while 
for a profusion of flowers of graceful forms and 
delicate tints of coloring it is unrivaled by 
any other plant. The strain that I am ofler- 
ing here was carefully selected from the very 
largest flowered plants, and is unsurpassed 
for quality and variety of colors. The flowers 
are of immense size, of the most delicate crepe- 
like texture, often beautifully fluted or 
crinkled, of every conceivable shade, from pure 
white, flesh-color, pink, salmon, rose, carmine, 
scarlet to deep crimson; shaded and blended, 
sometimes striped or margined. Pkt. 10c. 
New Giant Nice Stock, Almond Blossom 
A superb new shade in the already popular 
Giant Nice Stock. The flowers are produced 
in strong, heavy spikes and are white, deli- 
cately shaded with carmine, particularly desir- 
able color, greatly in demand by florists. 15c. 
Giant Double Zinnia 
Glunt Double Zinnia 
The Zinnia is one of 
the most popular of the 
summer flowering an- 
nuals, producing a 
grand display of bril- 
liant and dazzling col- 
ors for many months, 
with little care and at- 
tention. The plants of 
this giant strain are of 
extremely robust 
growth, attaining a 
height of from 2 to 2^^ 
feet; bearing immense 
flowers, often 5 inches 
in diameter, very dou- 
ble, and of the most 
striking colors. I have 
offered this superb 
strain of Zinnia before, 
but in mixed colors. 
This year I am also 
able to offer it in 6 dis- 
tinct shades, white, 
golden yellow, sulphur 
yellow, scarlet, crimson 
and violet. Each per 
pkt. 15c. All colors 
mixed, pkt. 10c.
