Poppy, Silk or Ghost. This new strain of single sorts is of superlative excellence, 
and many beautiful new forms, unknown before, will be found. They are especially 
strong in shades of terra-cotta and combinations of this with pink and scarlet. Many 
lovers of flowers have the impression that the single poppies are too fragile to stand 
picking, but such is not the case. If gathered early in the morning while the dew is 
still on them and before the rays of the hot sun have affected them, and placed in 
water, they will last in all their beauty for forty-eight hours. Price 10 ( 5 ls.

Poppy, Icelatid (Papaver Nudicaule). The fragrant, elegant, crushed-satin-like 
flowers are produced in never-ceasing succession from the beginning of June to Octo- 
ber. Not only are they attractive in the garden, but for elegance in a cut state they 
are simply unsurpassed, and they last quite a week if cut as soon as open. They flower 
the first season from seed, though they are hardy herbaceous plants, and will with 
slight protection live over winter in any of the northern states. Price 5 dls. 
Poppy, Fairy Blush. Few Poppies can equal this in beauty, and no others remain

measure from ten to thirteen inches in circumference ; the petals are elegantly fringed 
and pure white, except at the tips, where they are colored rosy cream. Price 5 < 5 ts.
