nishes many of the most beautiful flowers 
including tlie Carnation, Sweet William,

in the house.

Poppy, Double White Fringed 
(l J apaver) These well-known hardy 
annuals and perennials flower in great 
profusion throughout the summer. As 
early in spring as ground can be 
worked sow the seed where flowers 
are t<> bloom as the annual varieties do not bear transplant¬ 
ing. Cover lightly, since if planted too deep the seed will not 
germinate. To insure continuous bloom during a long 
season the flowers should be cut regularly and no seed pods 
allowed to form. 
Shirley. This magnificent strain of Poppy affords during a long 
season flowers of the most charmingly delicate shades or 
colors imaginable, ranging from a pure glistening white 
through the shades of pink and rose to the brightest scarlet 
and carmine red, the darker shades frequently being mar¬ 
gined with white. Some of the petals are of silky texture, 
others look like tissue paper, some are plain, some are 
crimped and some wavy. Flowers exceedingly graceful and 
lend themselves readily to bouquets. If cut bef ore the blooms 
are fully expanded, they will keep fresh in water for several 
days. (See colored plate on back cover) Oz. 85c. Pkt. 5c.
