The Great White California 
■'^oppy. — (Romneya Cou/teri.)— (No-eltv.)— This novelty istheflnest 
thing m the Poppy family yet introduced. It is a stately growing 
evergreen perennial, and has proved very hardy in favorable situa- 
tions, blooming continuously from June to the end of September. 
Its appearance is imposing, the flowers being of gigantic size, often 
nieasurmg seven inches in diameter. The petals are pure white and of 
delicate texture, scarcely opaque, yet enduring in a good 
state for many days They are also delightfullv fragrant. The crown 
or center of the flower is composed of a cushion of golden-colored 
anthers, greatly adding to its appearance. The glaucous foliage is 
deeply^Rut, like that of the Eschscholtzia, and is persistent through- 
out .ter. Pkt. 15c. (See illus., fig. 1.) 
POPPY MIKADO. 
Tfle petals of this beautiful new Poppy are solid at the base, while 
the edges are cut and fringed. Flower is a pure white at the back, 
whi.e the edges are a brilliant scarlet, which makes it one of the 
most attractive Poppies yet introduced. 10c. (See illus., fig. 2.) 
New Shirley Poppies.— This new and beautiful vanety is a 
grand acquisition to the papaver family, ranging in color from pure 
white through the most delicate shades of pale pink, rose and ear- 
mine to deepest crimson. They are so varied that no two can be 
found exactly alike, while many are most delicately edged, shaded 
and striped, thus adding to the splendid effect. The form is also very 
beautiful, being single or semi-double, as shown in our engraving, 
which makes it a most desirable plant for decorative purposes, as 
the blooms, when cut, will stand for several 
days without drooping or fading. (See illus.
