GROW YOUR OWN ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 
Buist’s Shirley Poppy 
POPPIES 
One of the grandest garden annuals. So easy to 
grow, that the mere throwing of seed on the ground 
will bring forth their gay, flaunting colors, the silky 
petals waving in the passing breezes. Masses of beauti¬ 
ful hybrids have been evolved, vying with each other in 
glorious beauty. The annual varieties should be sown 
where they are to flower, as they will not stand trans¬ 
planting. Sow seed thinly, cover lightly, and thin to 
8 inches apart. Can be sown as late as June, but the 
best plants are those grown from early sowings, when 
the soil is cool and moist. If the flowers are gathered 
early in the morning when the dew is on them, and the 
end of the stems dipped in hot water to stop bleeding, 
they will remain fresh for several days. 
SINGLE ANNUAL SHIRLEY POPPIES 
The most exquisite single Poppies in existence. Silky, 
shining petals varying in all colors of the rainbow, the 
effect created by these lovely flowers is hard to describe 
and must be seen to be fully appreciated. Height,

HARDY PERENNIAL VARIETIES 
ICELAND POPPIES 
(Papaver Nudicaule) 
Although hardy perennials, these dwarf Poppies 
bloom the first season from seed sown early in Spring. 
Plants are of graceful neat habit with fern-like foliage 
producing their brilliant, fragrant flowers in profusion, 
and if the seed pods are picked off, continue to flower 
all season. 1 ft.

ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Oriental Poppies rival in gorgeous beauty the Darwin 
Tulips. The magnificent foliage, sturdy stems, large 
cup-shaped flowers with crinkled petals, make them one 
of the showiest and effective flowers grown. Sow early 
in Spring. It is well to mark the place where they are 
planted, as the plants disappear in July and August, 
appearing again in cool weather. When this Fall 
growth starts, transplant to their permanent location. 
Height 2 to 3 ft. Bloom in June.
