honestly 
-- , . .agnincent Poppy the 
»»t season, and can honestly recommend it as one of the 
most magnitlci-rit ever seen. The plants are of dwarf 
■stout growth, like Snowdrift, and belong to the 
Pwony-flowered type. The blossoms are of enormous 
I size, perfectly double to the center, and beautifully 
) fringed. Color, snow-white, with lovely bright crim- 
. son festooning-, about the edges of the frilled petals. 
- difficult to imagine a more charming combination. 
When sown early this Poppy is one of the earliest double 
varieties to bloom, yet if the seed is sown later, say during 
June, it is said that the plants will bloom profusely through 
the fall months, even into November, at a time when all 
other Poppies have faded and gone.' We cannot recommend 
this charming novelty too highly. Pkt., lfic.; 3 pkts. for 30c.

ful miniature Trailing Hollyhock, the leaves and (lower* 
being similar to that glorious old plant, and it has the double 
advantage of being a constant bloomer from early spring un¬ 
til late fall. The (lowers are. bright crimson in color and 
produced freely, as are also its vines and foliage. We have 
nothing more beautiful, especially for rock work, mounds, 
or nooks and corners where a trailing plant is desirable. It 
is exceedingly graceful, and its beaut iful green foliage and 
bright blossoms make it very attractive during the whole 
season. Perfectly hardy in any situation. Blooms in ninety 
days from time of sowing seed, and continues all the season 
year after year. Pkt., 10c.; 3pkts.,25c.
