/Zmhic f&lnirtn The Pure white flowers 
Jtraois JflplnCt. grow so uniform ancl 
thickly that it gives the effect, of a sheet of snow. 
Plants perfectly hardy. The earliest, prettiest spring 
iiower. The spreading tufts are densely clothed with neat, 
lively green leaves and covered with pure white flowers 
of the most lovely effect, conspicuous at great distance, 
especially in large masses on rockeries or broad edgings 
for park roads, having the advantage of braving the 
greatest drought during summer and always looking 
neat. Packet, 150 seeds, 4c. 
St. Bridgid, or Poppy, Anemone. 
Nothing could be more glorious than a bed of these new 
Irish Poppies when in flower. One might well compare it 
to a kaleidoscope picture, glistening with and reflecting 
thousands of bright colors, or to some bright Oriental 
carpet whereon the artist has exercised his ingenuity to 
blend pleasing and effective colors. Indeed, the flowers 
produced by this new strain show all the colors of the 
rainbow, and many more ; for even black and white are 
found among them, as well as shades of pink, rose, crim¬ 
son, fiery scarlet, carmine, maroon, tints of lilac, lavender, 
blue, purple, even green. Many flowers are curiously- 
mottled, striped, edged, ringed and shaded with the vari¬ 
ous tints described above, the effect produced being 
almost bewildering. They are frequently 5 to 6 inches 
across; some single, but most double, with plain, scal¬ 
loped or fringed edges. Sown early and planted in the 
garden in rich soil, they will bloom profusely and fre¬ 
quently until well after frosts have cut down other tender 
plants; and being perfectly hardy, they will bloom again 
the next season in greater profusion than ever. For cut¬ 
ting they are unsurpassed, as the flowers and the fern-like 
foliage remain fresh in water for over a week. 
Packet, 50 seeds, 10c.,* 3 for 25c.
