FOUR GRAND NEW EARLY 
POPPIES. 
When “Snowdrift” Poppy was introduced 
several years ago, I did not realize its great 
value. It is now universally recognized as 
the most popular sort in cultivation, and has 
done more to bring about the present great 
popularity of Poppies in genera] than anything 
else. The Poppy is to-day occupying in popu¬ 
larity a place beside the Chrysanthemums, and 
even the Rose. We cannot wonder at this when 
we look upon their varied and brilliant colors 
and enormous double flowers, and see the ease 
by which they can be grown by anybody in any 
situation. While “Snowdrift” is of the dwarf 
Poeny-flowered type, the four grand varieties 
here offered are of the dwarf Carnation- 
flowered type, and bloom two weeks earlier 
than “ Snowdrift” or any other double Poppy. 
They are dwarf compact growers, standing well 
up and producing flowers of enormous size and 
beautiful shape, perfectly double, with remark¬ 
ably pure colors. I feel sure I am doing my 
customers a kindness when I advise them to 
plant these grand early flowering Poppies. See 
general list of Poppies, also —

MILLS’ DEFIANCE PANSIES. 
I take pleasure in offering Mills’ Defiance Pan¬ 
sies this season for the first time. No Fancy Pan¬ 
sies I have ever seen could equal these grand 
flowers. They were one of the wonders nt my 
seed grounds the past season. Pansies arc too 
well known to need any more description, and 
without fear of contradiction, I claim that Mills' 
Defiance Pansies produce flowers of the largest 
size, most perfect form, and richest colors. I have 
grown the seed in large quantities and offer it 
this season for the first time. The collection con¬ 
tains all choice kinds mixed and many publishers 
are using them as a premium. Price 25 ctH. per 
pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1.
