These beautiful vaiieties of poppies are so well known that 
it is needless to say anything in their favor. Quite a number of 
the perennial varieties bloom the first year from seed if sown 
early. The Alpinum sorts are of low growth and constant 
bloomers. Cardinal hybrids embrace several shades of rose, 
chamois, and brick red. Chinese have double feathery flowers. 
Danebrog, bright scarlet, with a white spot at the base of each 
petal. U'cvigatium single, scarlet, black spots and white margin. 
Mephisto, scarlet and black spots. Mikado, feathery petals, 
white fringed with crimson. The Nudicaule are all charming 
sorts that bloom very early. Oriental, one of the best, dark scar¬ 
let with a puqrle spot at the base of each petal. Pavonium, 
scarlet, with a black horseshoe-shaped blotch at the base of each 
petal. Shirley is fine for cutting, having long stems. The new 
strain we offer produces softer and more pleasing shades than we 
have offered hitherto. Yellow Rose, carnation-flowered sort, 
with pale yellow and rose flowers. Boston Peerless embtaces a 
choice assortment of single and double sorts. 
Sowings made in August, and again several times during 
spring, will produce a continuous bloom from early summer until frost. The seed should be sown where the plants are 
wanted to bloom, as Poppies do not take kindly to transplanting. Cover only very lightly, and firm the soil
