MISS MART E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
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, crimson, fiery scarlet, carmine, maroon, tints of lilac, lavender, blue, purple, even green. Many 
flowers are curiously mottled, striped, edged, ringed and shaded with the various tints described above, the effect produced 
being almost bewildering. They are frequently 5 to 6 inches across ; some single, but most double, with plain, scalloped 
or fringed edges.
