POPPIES 
GORGEOUS MIXTURE 
—We have taken great pains 
in making up a collection of 
Poppies that will produce the 
greatest display of any flower) 
of its class ever offered. The 
seed grows quickly and the| 
plants soon begin to bloom and 
continue to bloom for weeks 
throughout the summer. The, 
flowers are immense both 
color and size, often measur¬ 
ing 3 to 4 inches across, while! 
the petals are fluted and 
crinkled, so that in the sun-: 
light they appear like satin. 
The colors range through all 
shades, such as scarlet, salmon,; 
carmine, white veiled W'ith 
pink, striped, dotted and edged, 1 
white splased crimson, rose 
banded with white, blush and 
numerous shades of odd mark-!, 
ings, seldom ever known 
Annual Poppies. Seed can,be* 
sown in early spring and will 
produce a gorgeous effect, 
especially in the forenoon of 
each day. By all means grow 
a largo bed of these Poppies.

through summer, bearing flowers from 2 to 
2 Mi inches across of a fiery dark orange scar¬ 
let with black spots at base. The branching 
plants are about 16 inches high with gray
