LILIUM LONGIFLORUM PRAECOX 
"White Queen" 
We are pleased to be able to offer this beautiful Lily, which, with its 
long snowy-white pendant flowers, is remarkable for the celerity with 
which it can be raised from seed. The plants begin to bloom well with¬ 
in 12 months from the time of sowing. The flowers are of exquisite 
form and very freely produced. This new Lily has proved itself an 
excellent market plant. It received an Award of Merit from the Royal 
Horticultural Society (England) in 1932. Tr. Pkt.. (250 seeds).$1.00

NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
We cordially recommend this beautiful little Solanaceous plant as an 
admirable subject for greenhouse decoration. Not more than 4 to 6 
inches high, it forms a cushion of elegant light green foliage from which 
emerge corymbs of salver-shaped flowers of a delicate lavender hue, 1 
to 1 Vi inches across, adorned with a clear yellow eye. Of highly orna¬ 
mental effect, we are sure that it will prove a gem for the conservatory, 
and in suitable situations should do well in the open air. We may add 
that the bloom is very profuse and of a long-lasting character. It is 
a perennial, but seeds sown in Spring will bloom the same year.

Iceland Poppy, "The Empress" 
Another Desirable New Variety for 
Cut Flowers 
NEW POPPY NUDICAULE 
The Empress 
BODGER (INTRODUCER'S) DESCRIPTION 
Our new Nudicaule Poppy, The Empress, is truly queen of the Iceland 
Popp/ family. Distinct from all other strains, it is remarkable first for 
flower form—large, full, well formed flowers, with broad overlapping 
petals deeply fluted or wrinkled, giving an effect almost of doubleness, 
an illusion which is most delightful. Secondly, the color range is unique 
lovely shades of salmon rose and creamy pinks never before seen in 
Nudicaule Poppies, fascinating tones to intrigue the imagination. The 
flowers are carried on good strong stems, which make them fine for 
cutting. 
Our Hybridist, Miss Elizabeth Bodger, discovered the original parent 
plant of this strain on a visit to the gardens of the Empress Hotel in 
Victoria, British Columbia. Through the kindness of Mr. Saunders, head 
gardener of the hotel grounds, we were enabled to obtain seed of this 
new type, and from it have developed the strain we are now offering 
as The Empress. Tr. Pkt.50c 
POPPY NUDICAULE 
The Emperor 
BODGER (INTRODUCER'S) DESCRIPTION 
This exceptionally fine strain of Nudicaule Poppy, which we are offer¬ 
ing you as a companion to The Empress, attracted the attention of our 
President, Mr. John C. Bodger, in the course of his travels through Aus¬ 
tralia last year. The Emperor is without a doubt the best orange Ice¬ 
land Poppy available, the same type as The Empress, with extremely 
large fluted petaled flowers, many with an extra row of petals. The 
color is remarkably true, the same shade as our El Monte, deep tan 
gerine orange, but the flowers are larger, and are borne on very long 
strong stems. We highly recommend The Emperor. Tr Pkt. . .50c
