Fairy Poppies. These beautiful new Poppies have flowers 
- - -=-=-- - measuring up to 6 inches in diameter, each 
having a Maltese cross of varying tint, and the mixture contains all 
art shades of pink, rose, salmon, and scarlet. The variety may be 
described as a giant Shirley growing in bush form. Seeds may be 
sown early, under glass, in pots, and the young Poppies transplanted 
with the soil intact, or they may be sown outdoors in April and May. 
Try also sowing in August or September and they will carry along 
outdoors until early summer—just as you would treat pansies.

very striking orange-scarlet. When fully expanded, the flowers meas¬ 
ure 6 inches across and are borne on stems 3 feet high. Pkt. 50 cts.,
