and Unusual! 
Here on these two pages are real, true blue-bloods of the flower 
world—not to be found in every back yard of the country. Here 
are flowers that you can order with the purpose of being different 
from your neighbors. These flowers have had such an exceedingly 
small distribution that they really deserve to be called new.

As beautiful as a ballet dancer’s dainty pink costume! The petals 
are fluted and pleated in a manner entirely different from other 
Poppies and stand out prettily from the center as if carefully 
starched and ironed into shape. Color as deli¬ 
cately pink as the inside of a well-preserved 
seashell. And then against this beautiful back¬ 
ground comes the center— rich purple-black 
stamens feathery and beautiful. Fine, new 
shape, fine foliage. 
Last year we priced Perfection at $1.00 
each. Now, they are only 50c to 75c each, 
depending on quantity ordered. Don’t wait 
too long before ordering. 1 for 75c; 2 for 
#1.25; 3 for #1.65; 4 for #2.00.

Here is a striking and beautiful addition 
to the great group of brilliant red Poppies. 
And this Poppy has a new characteristic 
that other red Poppies do not have— in 
practically all the blossoms the black spots 
are missing from the base of the petals. These 
spots may occur now and then in Mandarin 
but only rarely; for the most part you will 
find them entirely absent and if you like a 
flower of pure red all through, you will want 
Mandarin in your garden. A marvel in size, 
color, and form. Glorious, rich, red. 1 for 
75c; 2 for #1.25; 3 for #1.65; 4 for #2.00. 
HOW TO KEEP POPPIES 
Poppies can be used for cut flow' 
ers if you sear the ends of the stems 
thoroughly in a gas flame immedi' 
ately after cutting, then put them in 
water. A little aspirin in the water 
helps.
