ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seed where you want them to grow because it is difficult to transplant them. They grow everj.-where 
and almost under all conditions. Large plantings however are most effective. 
SCHLINC'S NEW DOUBLE HYBRIDS 
Gorgeous in coloring, giant in size. Beautifully fringed, and altogether far superior 
in every way to any other Poppy in existence. While this strain of Poppies produced 
by Mr. Schling is far superior to all other existing sorts, its greatest value lies in Uie 
substance or lasting qualities of its flowers. AH other Poppies will last but a few days 
when cvit; this variety, however, will last for fully a week in a vase. The lilooms are 
as large as peonies, and appear mostly in soft shades of pink, white, red, terra-cotta, 
some of them beautifully striped and penciled, nearly all of them double and finely 
fringed. 4 ft. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, 3^oz. $1.50.

LILLIPUT POPPY (New) 
Only 12 inches high — wonderfully charming — con- 
tinuously in bloom throughout the summer months. 
We have counted 120 blooms on one of these miniature 
bushes ; 50 to 60 is quite usual — an abundance of flowers 
heretofore unknown in Poppies. The lovely pink flowers 
measure about 2 inches in diameter. Fresh blooms 
appear daily and finally pass into extremely small seed- 
pods. A charming plant for bed groups and borders.
