Observations. 
Fine hardy climbers of rapid growth. 
Superb new annual from California. 
Gorgeously coloured annuals, very 
effective for large mixed beds, 
shrubbery borders, &c. The new 
“ Shirley ” Poppies are especially 
worthy of mention, as the most 
beautiful and oharmingannuals that 
have been introduced of late years. 
These constitute the most brilliant 
class of half-hardy annuals in culti- 
vation. The plants are of a spread- 
ing habit of growth, only reach a 
height of from four to six inches, and 
are splendid for sunny rockwork, 
warm dry borders, pots in the green - 
house, &o. The seed has been care- 
fully saved, and will produce a large 
percentage of fine double flowers, 
of strikingly handsome colours. 
Showy herbaceous perennials.
