® GAILLARDIA, 
LORENZ’S 
PERFECTION. 
By careful cultivation and selection, extending 
over many years, the present strain has now been 
produced and fixed from the well-known G. picta 
Lorenziana. In this variety the quilled petals 
are produced in such great abiuidance as to give 
the flowers the appearance of a round ball. It 
will be found a grand cut flower for bouquets.

^ THE TULIP POPPY. 
(PAPAVEE GLAUCUM.) 
A very showy and brilliant novelty, intro- 
duced from Armenia. The plant attains a 
height of 12 to 14 inches, producing well above 
the fohage from SO to 60 large and splendid 
flowers of the most vivid scarlet imaginable. As 
will be seen from the illustration, the flowers 
are somewhat peculiar in shape, the two inner 
petals remaining erect in the centre of the flower, 
thus forming a cup-like receptacle eontaining the 
anthers and capsule. 
From a mere description no adequate idea 
can be obtained of the very striking and beau- 
tiful effect produced by a mass or bed of these 
plants when in full bloom, the glowing richness 
of colour and peculiar shape of flower at once 
suggesting one of the vennilion-coloured Tulips, 
hence the fitness of the popular name ‘ ‘ Tulip 
Poppy.” 
If so^vn in the open border, the small seeds 
lie several weeks before germinating ; in a hot- 
bed it comes up in little more than a week.

THE TULIP POPPY (PAPAVEE GLAUCUM). 
« CARDINAL POPPY. 
The dwaif and particularly robu.st habit of growth 
of this novelty renders it quite distinct from all other 
double Poppies. The plant attains a height of about 
18 niche.s and is furnished with deeply cut dark green 
foliage, against which the enonuous and very double 
flowers of glowing scarlet, on a white gi'ound, stand 
out in striking contrast. The Cardinal Poppy, being 
so extremely showy, will be found extremely effective 
for massing either in beds or borders. Is. per packet.
