H.A. SHIRLEY POPPY.— Of all the Poppy tribe the Shirley strain gives us the loveliest of 
colours, combined with exquisite form and the most remarkable floriferousness. lo have the plants 
at their best, and flowers in finest form, seed should be sown quite early in September, so that the 
plants may be dibbed out singly some 15 or 18 inches apart in good rich soil, although seed sown in 
spring does very well indeed if sown very thinly. 3d. per pkt. 
H.p. PAPAVER (POPPY) UMBROSUM— The most beautiful dwarf single Poppy; some- 
what resembles the ordinary field kind in growth, but a most vivid red, with a large intense black 
blotch at the base of each petal, rendering it most striking and surprising; it is really one of the 
best. 3d. per pkt. . 
The seed should be sown in the autumn, grown on through the winter, and planted out in early summer ; 
they will then make a qrand display (applies to P. Umbrosum and Iceland varieties only). 
H.A. PAPAVER LAB VIGATUM — New and very showy annual Poppy from Persia, about 2 feet 
to 2$ feet high, with fine-shaped large flowers, 4 inches in diameter, of a brilliant deep scarlet with 
black spots, surrounded by a white margin at the base of each petal. The two outside petals of the 
flowers are twice the size of the inside ones, so that each couple form a round cup by themselves; 
very free flowering and extremely showy. Per packet, Is. 
H.A. PAPAVER PAVONINUM (Peacock Poppy)— New Poppy, similar in habit to Papaver 
Umbrosum. The most striking feature of the flower is the conspicuous glossy black zone which 
marks the petals near the base, the united bands forming a complete ring, which shows to a great 
advantage on the brilliant scarlet ground colour, during the early part of the day. When fully 
expanded they are nearly four inches across, and arc borne in considerable numbers. It succeeds in 
any ordinary garden soil, and may be sown either in spring or autumn, the finest plants being obtained 
by the latter treatment. Per pkt., tid. 
Mrs. Rawlings, Goddington, near Bicester, Oxford, July 9th, 1 . 891 . 
All the seeds I had of you this year have turned out well, every seed must have come up, 
i and the Turban Ranunculus are prized by all who have seen them — not two alike. I am very 
pleased with them ; we have proved your seeds to be the best we ever had.
