NEW ICELAND POPPIES 
(Nudicaule. Hardy Perennial) 
Iceland Poppy, Sandford’s Giant 
The finest strain existent. 
These hardy Poppies slightly resemble the 
delicately formed annual Shirley. While these 
are hardy perennials, they flower the first 
year from seed, blooming almost as quickly as 
the annual sorts. 
They are of graceful neat habit with bright 
green fern-like foliage, formed in tufts from 
which issue slender stalks about 15 inches 
high, bearing their brilliant flowers in endless 
profusion. Most useful for cutting, for which 
purpose pick when in bud. If the seed pods 
are picked off, they continue in flower the en¬ 
tire season. They remain evergreen through¬ 
out the winter, coming into bloom early the 
following spring. 
Iceland Poppies are valuable in a hardy bor¬ 
der or in a permanent rock garden. 
SANDFORD’S GIANT STRAIN. (New.) A 
new, giant strain with flowers of wonderful 
substance carried on strong stems 2 to 3 
feet long. Many of the blooms measure 6 
inches in diameter. The range of colors is 
particularly fine, including many lovely deli¬ 
cate shades and combinations of tints. Pkt. 
20 c; Vs oz. $1.00. 
SUNBEAMS. (Mixed.) This is the result of a 
cross between the Shirley and Nudicaule 
types. The flowers are charming shades of 
orange, salmon, maize and other tints, an 
improvement over the original Iceland 
strain. The plants will produce flowers the 
first season from seed sown early, and the 
blossoms are fine for cutting. Pkt. 16c; Y% 
oz. 50c. 
CEEOICE MIXED. A better than ordinary 
mixture, made up by myself from choice 
strains and colors. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c.
