Physalis • Chinese Lantern Plant 
6425 Francheti. Not especially ornamental in the garden but the bril¬ 
liant red seed-vessels are very effective if cut in Autumn and dried for 
Winter bouquets. The plant is a perennial of vigorous growth which: 
will bloom the first year if the seed is sown early. Pkts. 10c and 25c.. 
Poppy 
For sheer grace of habit and dainty silky texture of petals, no flower can come within 
miles of the annual Poppy. The modern strains abound in delicate tints and unexpected 
hues, much daintier, softer, and more exquisitely lovely than the old types. Sow the 
seed very early in Spring, where the plants are to bloom, as they cannot be transplanted 
successfully. Thin the plants to stand 9 to 10 inches apart. Several successive sowings 
will produce flowers for many weeks in Midsummer.
