new growth, so that within three weeks it will be blooming again. Repeat this operation as often 
as necessary during the summer. If these directions are followed there is no reason why the 
pansies will not bloom all summer as well as the spring. Pansies are really perennial but are 
treated as a biennial, as they frequently flower themselves to death; hence it is better to start 
with new plants each year. Plant in full sunlight or partial shade, 4 to 6 inches apart. 
Swiss Giant Mixture; 
The flowers of this strain are of enormous size, 3 inches and over in diameter. They are per¬ 
fectly round with overlapping petals, borne on strong stalks well above the remarkably luxuriant 
foliage. Thick petals, of a rich velvety texture, give this strain of pansy the required sub¬ 
stance so necessary to a perfect pansy. The superb colors and color combinations - salmons, 
pinks, rich reds and blues, are their distinctive feature.

PAPAVER OR I ENTALE. Oriental Poppy. 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular genus, growing 3 to Zk feet high, 
and far surpassing in splendor of bloom all the annual kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich 
and brilliant coloring nothing equals them during their period of flowering in May and June, and 
whether planted singly or in masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom render them con¬ 
spicuous in any position. 
Culture: Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich loam. Ret the plants 
out in the fall or early spring before the first of May 12 inches apart. Give them water occa¬ 
sionally during dry spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with any litter in the fall; 
and they will increase in size and flor iferousness for several years.

PAPAVER NUDICAULE. Iceland Poppy. 
This plant is of neat dwarf habit with its 
beautiful fern-like foliage growing close 
to the ground and the slender a inch stems 
bearing the brilliant cup-shaped flowers. 
Wien flowers unfold, they seem to keep the 
tiny crinkled appearance of a wrinkled 
piece of stiff tissue paper. A beautiful 
rock garden plant that blooms nearly all 
summer. They make lovely' cut flowers, and 
should be cut in the morning when the buds 
are tight, allowing them to open up in the 
water; then they will last several days. 
Culture: The Iceland Poppies are very 
easily established and if the flowers are 
cut every day, the plants will produce 
flowers all during the summer months. 
They are extremely hardy and will grow in 
any soil.
