Poppy, Maid of the Mist. A magnificent, new single, peony-flowered, white 
poppy. The flowers measure from se%’en to nine inches across, the petals are very- 
large, over-lapping, daintily incurved, deeply and irregularly fringed. The ovary is 
a beautiful, silvery, pea green; the stamens long, with light tan-colored antlers. 
The flowers are borne on long stems, and instead of looking upward as do most pop- 
pies, turn their faces outwards. The ovary encircled, with its fringe of stamens and 
white, fluffy petals, suggests a pretty face looking out from the mist. A row of these 
graceful poppies in full bloom is a picture to linger long in the mind. Price 1 5 As.

slight protection live over winter in any of the northern states. Price 5 As.
