GODETIA—(Continued) 
Wild Rose. A striking bedding plant that 
makes a solid mass of bloom. Flowers light 
rose pink and better, we believe, for mass 
planting, than the new “Nana Compacta” 
type petunias. Planted in the border with 
Lobelia Cambridge Blue, it was one of the 
delightful surprises of our trial beds.

lightful dwarf evergreen perennial, three to 
six inches tall. Spreading, dense, matty 
growth. Covered with brightly colored flow¬ 
ers resembling miniature single roses, such 
as the Isobel. In yellow, bronze, red, pink, 
rose, apricot, orange and similar shades. Has 
attracted constant attention in our garden. 
Splendid for rock gardens. 
We are fortunate enough to secure exclu¬ 
sive sale of the seed from Sydney B. Mitch¬ 
ell’s own garden. His stock was obtained 
from John Nicholls of Scotland, and W. M. 
Christy of England, who, between them, 
raised most of the named forms given awards 
at the R. H. S. trial gardens at Wisley, 
England. In mixed colors.35c pkt.

ICELAND POPPIES (Nudicaule). You who 
are in the habit of visiting the beautiful 
Santa Maria Inn half-way between San 
Francisco and Los Angeles are no doubt fa¬ 
miliar with the remarkable strains of these 
most effective cut-flowers developed by 
Frank J. McCoy, manager of the Inn. Mr. 
McCoy has built an international reputation 
for the Inn by filling it with exquisitely ar¬ 
ranged bouquets of the most gorgeous flow¬ 
ers obtainable. Most of these blooms he 
grows himself, and Iceland poppies have 
been his particular hobby. He has scoured 
the world for seeds and has selected and 
re-selected until he has developed a strain 
that is unquestionably the finest in America 
and probably unexcelled anywhere. 
Iceland poppies, like gladiolus, may be 
planted in succession. Bloom approximately 
three months from the time they are planted. 
They are most hardy for early blooms, as 
they stand frost even when other plants 
wither and blacken. Very floriferous, with 
long stems, most excellent cut-flowers. 
At their best sown either where they will 
flower or in boxes and transplanted when 
young.
